Is the gloss gray going to be the standard color? Not bad, just a bit...boring.
That makes too much sense. Way too efficient use of that asset.Honestly surprised these don't get tasked more for LOG runs as INAV training events.
Yes. I believe this was covered in other posts. But the plan is for all CNATRA airframes move away from white/orange to gloss grey livery.Is the gloss gray going to be the standard color? Not bad, just a bit...boring.
Previous CNATRA Public Affairs posts indicate the "orange and white" livery is discontinued and all training command aircraft will receive overall gloss grey - from T-6, to TH-73, to T-45, as well as the T-54.From this NAVAIR brief, it appears they are for PTS. However, since not in training colors, it is a good assumption that these will be used for to ramp up the first instructors. More of a differences training compared with a T-44.
Wondering why NAVAIR named the T-54 after a fish, the Martin P5M Marlin was a seaplane.
At least a Pegasus could fly.
I'm guessing that was determined after starting to receive the TH-73A?"orange and white" livery is discontinued
The article talked about reduced costs and maintenance - and that the new livery would be rolled out gradually on existing aircraft when hitting the paint shop.I'm guessing that was determined after starting to receive the TH-73A?
Do you remember reading the reasoning behind this?
There is a very clear advantage to having highly visible aircraft in a dense training environment.
Are they being used yet in the Pilot Training syllabus? Or only being used for the instructors to get spun up?

I agree on timing with the TH-73A deliveries was not executed optimally!
I can't picture a T-6B in gloss gray for some reason.Previous CNATRA Public Affairs posts indicate the "orange and white" livery is discontinued and all training command aircraft will receive overall gloss grey - from T-6, to TH-73, to T-45, as well as the T-54.
I can not fathom CNATRA's reasoning here. 'Cause nothing says assisting the SNA with" see and avoid" like looking for other gray aircraft. "Yellow peril" and "orange on white" were used for valid training environment considerations. Must be part of the whole millennial gray color pallet.Previous CNATRA Public Affairs posts indicate the "orange and white" livery is discontinued and all training command aircraft will receive overall gloss grey - from T-6, to TH-73, to T-45, as well as the T-54.
I agree, this is a terrible idea.I can not fathom CNATRA's reasoning here. 'Cause nothing says assisting the SNA with" see and avoid" like looking for other gray aircraft.
