Almost Tweet Complete

The T-37 Tweet
(My current office, not for long though)

Well, this week could be my last week of flying the T-37 Tweet. I have six formation flights and a formation checkride to complete and it's a good thing too, since the Tweet's air conditioning unit is nonexistant and the weather is creeping into the 90's (during the coming months it will get up to the 110+ range). We are scheduled to have Tweet graduation on May 14th. The 17th-19th will be spent at Holloman AFB, NM getting our centrifuge training out of the way. This is where we go and get high-G tolerance training done. They basically put you in this little pod that simulates the inside of the cockpit and accelerate it so fast it simulates up to 9 G's. This is like feeling 9 of your body weights on you, which would be about 1500 pounds! It's pretty intense to say the least.

Anyway, once we complete that, we will start academic training for the T-38 Talon. About three weeks later we hit the flightline! Woohoo! I can't wait!
