Another interesting note. Edwards did full spin/departure testing on the
T-3 and found no adverse recovery characteristics or unusual modes. As I
understand it, the T-3 spun just as predictably as a C-150.

Bottom line..they just need to get the good ol' reliable YAK-52
(ok...ok..add a few of the bent wings too...CJ'S!). Just to give them the
experience of a slow snap roll!

> "The T-3A is the newest version of Slingsby Aviation's T-67 Firefly line
of military training aircraft. The prototype began flying in the summer of
1991, and the Air Force accepted delivery in February 1994. Of the total
fleet of 110 T-3s which originally cost $32 million, 57 were stationed with
the Air Force Academy's 557th Flying Training Squadron in Colorado Springs,
with another 53 with the 3rd Flying Training Squadron in Hondo, Texas.
Final assembly of the British-made T-3 was done in Hondo by Northrup
Grumman.

> The Air Education and Training Command at Randolph AFB announced on 12
October 1999 that the T-3A Firefly would be dropped by the Air Force, after
having been grounded for more than two years. In 1998 the Air Force
intiated the privately run Introductory Flight Training which uses private
flight schools to screen pilot candidates. The success of this program
persuaded the Air Force to drop the T-3 from service. The T-3 fleet was
grounded in July 1997, following an inexplicable engine failure in
Colorado. Three instructors and three students were killed in crashes since
the plane went into service in 1994. Two crashes were the result of pilot
error, while a third occurred because of a stall condition from which the
pilot was unable to recover. The predecessor T-41 had no fatal accidents in
30 years of flight, although the T-41 was incapable of performing the
aerobatics and spins that were the hallmark of the T-3. The T-3's engine
had failed 66 times at takeoff or landing, and!

with the engines, fuel systems and brakes."

I was talking to a old friend of 40 years who is a T-34 type guy. (Yes I do
talk to them).
It seems that he and his son while flying their matching T-34's, engaged a
number of Yaks TW and straight 52's in the New England area - - and
"dispatched them"
One a TW was "green with Jap marking" That sounds like Charlie Lynch to me.
What happened guys?
