So I can take it that you guys like the Idea of the Tucano then if we went ahead to make one?

YES !

 

Especially if I can represent one of the great trainers of our Air Force ...

A real training "campaign" for lack of a better term would be awesome... Starting as a complete newbie and following the same path real fighter pilots do and progressing from one trainer to ever more advanced trainers culminating in a fighter plane would be a real winner..

Two important questions:

 

1- Will be possible to carry weapons?

 

2- Any chance of the Super Tucano?

 

Thanks and good luck with the training idea, I will be happy buying it.

I don't understand anything in russian except Davai Davai!

Yes yes yes!

 

Question though. How different is the Tucano to the Texan II?

Pretty close, RAF pilot students would start in the Grob Tutor first then move to the Tucano

 

Pman

 

Yep, 24 weeks of EFT in the Tutor before another 40 weeks BFJT with the Tucano, and that's before you even get near the Hawk and another 36 weeks of AFJT. And then, and only then, if you're really lucky do they let you anywhere near a Typhoon/Tornado.

 

If anyone is curious to see the real world (UK) pilot training process, take a look at the powerpoint linked at the bottom of this page: http://www.raf.mod.uk/no22traininggroup/organisation/flying_training.cfm

 

Sounds like a idea for at least 3 campaigns to me, nevermind one. ;)
