A2A Development......T33 and T6

[joe bob]

I seem to recall the F-104 and F-4 from A2A got shelved since supersonic flight was a bit more involved than anticipated so they decided to go with the T-33.

I'll buy both of them without a second hesitation. My first real flight ever was in a T-6, bring it on!

Like me JK .. my first Warbird, trainer .. was the North American Harvard, .... T33 we can put that little behind, after all we, We all need some pilot training

Also love the T6, see my avatar The only aircraft I ever flew in that comes close to a warbird.

The T-6 is a warbird - having been used armed in so many conflicts and by some many nations - Korea for example as the LT-6G. One of the examples I have flown in (an ex-Luftwaffe Harvard Mk.4) has bullet holes (repaired of course) down the fuselage when it was used by the Portuguese in Mozambique in the 1970s.

The photo in your aviatar, is that D-FAME as used to fly in that a lot when it lived in the UK?

Happy Landings,

Martin

Last trip out off RNZAF Wigram in 2006, I said on the NZFF forum , to one young chap, you will know its me .. as we circled his place I started to fool around ..... Canopy open .. Canopy closed .. Canopy open .. Canopy closed .. Canopy open .. Canopy closed .. Canopy open .. Canopy closed .. .... on my return home found James with a big smile and a big thumbs-up , really made his day .. course me being silly, spose helped

EDIT: the last flight out off Wigram was 15/02/2009 .. figured A2A doing the AT-6/SNJ-4/Harvard IIA model i'd pull the manual , and there was the ticket.

Hi Martin,

OK, you're right, it's a warbird What else if it has bullet holes

I think the aircraft is the D-FHGL. Actually there are two of these aircraft (the other one is the D-FHGK). which are operated by the father and son Team Toni and Walter Eichhorn. I flew with Toni on a rather lengthy flight back then. Included were around 15 minutes of aerobatics, the whole program. You can't believe how long 15 minutes can be. And an overland flight to Koblenz with landing, where I had the chance to get my hands on the stick during the flight. Wonderful experience. I was amazed how responsive the controls were. It seemed much lighter than a C150 or C172 to me.


Cheers,
Mark

While flying Tim's T-33 a few days ago, I was thinking along the lines of "Funny that there's no payware of this one yet" and lo' and behold...

Just recently they posted a screenie of the generator cart.... I guess that's just for starters...

I'm cringing and laughing at the same time.
