| Mike , CO | The USAF has a long tradition of "grabbing" new pilots to be FAIPs (first assignment instructor pilots). Your son should be honored to be selected for such an assingment, not everyone is capable of being an instructor so soon after graduating training. After serving over 12 years in the USAF, with 7+ as an instructor pilot, I can tell you that this assingnment will serve him well both in the AF and after he seperates/retires. 11/13/2007 @ 19:15 [ref:18528] |
| Guy E. Franklin Deatsville, AL | History:
At the beginning of the 1950s the US Navy's standard advanced trainer was the TV-2, the naval version of the T-33A land based trainer. Though it was an effective trainer the TV-2 was not ideally suited to the navy's requirements as it lacked carrier compatibility. Lockheed had already proposed its L-245 design for an improved version of the T-33, and confident that this would prove successful, built a private venture prototype. This was known unofficially as the T-33B and first flew in December 1953. The prototype introduced a raised instructor's seat under a revised canopy, and a flight trials revealed the need for a dorsal fin to restore longitudinal stability. Other changes were leading edge slats, a larger tail unit, and a boundary layer control system. This resulted in take off and approach speed being usefully reduced. The navy ordered the type as the T2V-1 Seastar with an arrester hook, non jettison able tip tanks, a strengthened airframe, and beefed up land gear. The first of 150 Seastar entered service 1n 1957, and in 1962 the type was redesignated T-1A. The type's service career was short because of maintenance problems.
