If you're planning on joining the Coast Guard as a pilot I have someone who I'd like you to meet.
The T-6 Texan II will be replacing the T-34C Turbo Mentor as the aircraft that will train primary( students in the first phase of flight training) students.
The T-6, like the T-34 is powered by a turbo- prop engine but unlike the T-34 the T-6 develops close to 1200 hp while the T-34 develops a shade over 500.
This translates into increased maneuverability and performance for the T-6.
Upon meeting the T-6 for the first time you might realize that it bears a resemblance to the T-34.
It's a tandem cockpit (one pilot behind the other).
The T-6 is powered by the venerable and nearly bulletproof PT-6A-68 turboprop engine built by Pratt and Whitney Canada.
The aircraft is fully aerobatic and features a pressurized cockpit, anti G- systems, ejection seats, and advanced avionic systems.
The T-6 is built by the Raytheon Aircraft Company.
It has a total wingspan of 33.
5 ft, a height of 10.
7 ft, a max speed of 320 miles per hour, a ceiling of 31,000 ft and a range of 900 nautical miles.
The T-6 II is going to train a new generation of pilots.
Hopefully it will live up to the high standards of its predecessor.
This aircraft is the future of Coast Guard, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force flight training.
When you go to flight training you might meet the T-6 Texan II.
