I will say, having seen some VR/AR training devices that didn’t really meet expectations, these 73 AR PTTs are pretty excellent.

Nice video segment on the current state of HT ops w/ the Thrasher. Some great shots of the flight deck displays - nice to see the ability to display DoD FLIPS on MFD.
The PFD attitude display is a little complex/busy but I'm sure a number of requirements drove this (and I know the dude who personally designed the layout, and he's pretty sharp)
Anyways, give it a watch and please share your comments here in the thread.

Having obviously not seen the ones that didn't make the cut, the ones that are actually getting implemented in the VTs have been pretty good. I wasn't in Avenger but found the VR T-6 sleds very useful for learning course rules and practicing form procedures, the AR T-44 checklist trainer was very good at showing what the FTI explained poorly, and the T-45 VR sleds seem well done and have been incorporated into the new syllabus. Helo stud bros rant and rave about those AR TH-73 sleds. Hopefully Big Navy doesn't do away with FTDs/OFTs/UTDs, but I've really enjoyed the proliferation of these lower fidelity trainers in the fixed wing VTs.
Compared to the apparently primitive cockpit of the TH-57’s I flew back in the 1986/87 timeframe these things are space ships! Add to that the “connectivity” of the training pipelines. When I arrived to Milton from Corpus I knew nothing and they treated me accordingly. There was no knowledge hand down so the opening phase of training was the most difficult for me. Add to that the addition of NVG and rescue training and I’m impressed.
Damn, that’s pretty slick. I remember a major adjustment going to the glass of the Z Cobra after the T34 and TH57 and this makes the Z look positively archaic
I tested (i.e.: one time and gave my feedback on a sheet of paper) one of the initial proptypes of these. I was shocked at how much better it was than the traditional sim in most respects.
Or anywhere…if you actually are flying tactically, your patches should all be removed.
Leonardo breaks ground at new facility at NASWF/NDZ.
Included in this deal is landing rights at NDZ for non military operators of Leonardo aircraft to access the service center. Perhaps service for MH-139 as well since the schoolhouse for that aircraft is at nearby Maxwell AFB. Maybe we'll see @KWpilot58 visit in his spiffy new 119!
Quite a deal - and obviously a big win for Santa Rosa County.

There was a picture posted recently of @KWpilot58 's program flying one of their new -119s. I think it might have been HAI that had it. I can't find the picture now, but apparently they're using them now.
Kind of out the back gate, you can see roughly the area if you look on Google maps.
This area in red is the new Whiting Aviation Park. Sounds like Leonardo is the first tenant, and, as mentioned above, you can see where they broke ground. Curious to see how many and what types of other companies will move in.
