First of all, congrats on getting selected to attend the T-6A Pilot Instructor Training.  For previous MWS folks, the next four months are going to be challenging.  Challenging in that the training and the atmosphere is like a mini-UPT and that you're going to be treated like a UPT student.  For future FAIPs, this course is going to seem like a welcome change from the rigors of UPT and you will finally get treated like an adult. For everyone in general, this program is an awesome course and extremely rewarding.  You'll learn a lot about teaching a kid fresh off the street how to fly.  All of the PIT instructors are top-notch and many have spent a majority of their career in AETC.  Try to learn as much as you can from them and take their techniques and put it in your back of tricks.  On a side note, if you're a prior C-17A pilot like myself, get ready to unlearn all the automation and backside flying.  I hope it won't be as painful for you as it was for me.

Second, most of you are on TDY-enroute orders.  If you choose to bring your family with you, I have included some information on apartments that are conveniently located near Randolph AFB.  I highly recommend setting up a partial shipment of house-hold goods when you PCS since furnished apartments in close proximity to the base are hard to find.  Also call the housing office for advice on where to live.

When I found out that I was going to Moody AFB via PIT, I spent hours googling for any bit of information on PIT.  Surprisingly, there is nothing on the web which is why I decided to build this section.  The purpose of this section is to provide future UPT instructor pilots with the necessary information to prepare for and succeed at PIT.  Use the info available in the following pages to get familiar with what is expected of you at Randolph AFB.

If you have any suggestions or have information that could help others, please send it to the webmaster.  It is only through your help that I can keep this section updated.  Thanks for visiting T6Driver.Com and welcome to AETC.  You're gonna love the T-6A!
