Seriously, mess fine for an AW status? I'm calling shenanigans . . .
Cut up for scrap, in reply to huggyu2's question about where the T-34s are going. I have some pics on my cell that I can post later.

I've been told that that was in response to the civil aerospace industry's objection to the market being flooded with turboprop aeroabatic capable aircraft.

I'm not suggesting anything of the sort. It's absolutely no secret that the navy takes care of the navy first, and the the Marine Corps second, even when it comes to aviation. The Hornet community just gets some spillover due to commonality.
Please stop acting like this is a safety thing and we all get to partake of the benefits equally. It's not. It's a boondoggle and not every air to ground community gets in on it.
I have a hard time with that one. Maybe their objection is the number of various parts that will be raining down on the public when said planes are over-g'ed. The the T-34 is old and tired. If I could afford it, I'd love to have one that's done nothing but fly for a weapon school, but I wouldn't want to have one that's been anywhere near a Training Command.

That would be me - I'll be a 1/C MIDN at Vandy next year, heading down to Mayport/Jax for my cruise with an HSM squadron at the end of July. A lot has gone right (or at least, not horribly wrong) for me to be this far, so hopefully my luck won't run out and I'll score a pilot slot. What year did you graduate?
2008, I was the lone aviation stash when you had your indoc.
It was you and the inseparable nuke duo for stashes that summer, right? I remember you guys putting together about 50 bookshelves.
I always get a good laugh when I see the local RAG here using it’s T-34 for a weekend cross country being flown by one dude who leaves on Friday and hits 7 or 8 different airports over the course of a weekend… all in the name of “currency”. I think the squadron flies more "currency" hops than "low safe" hops.
Yep, it’s a boondoogle...

Ok, I remember. How is everthing going these days?
In the interest of having all the facts, the TW-5 T-34 Satellite SOP states that pilots need to keep a 7-14 day currency. So if you have a couple of pilots and they can't all get to the airframe during the week, a weekend CCX is a perfect way to maintain currency. Call it a good deal, call it a boondoggle...
Just don't hate the player.
Going pretty well. Enjoy college while it lasts, and same thing with flight school, because then comes work.
And speaking of putting crap together that summer, don't try to take apart those mats that make up the dungeon floor. They were a giant pain in the ass to lay down and if you remove them, you'll be in for loads of fun.
That's heartbreaking. Those are some good airplanes!
