PIT students hard
at work preparing for a CT meeting. In this photo, Piddler is trying
to determine whether or not he has packed enough piddle-packs in his helmet
bag. |

Cockpit view of
an IFT. An IFT is a type of sim that you will use at PIT. The
visual consists of a large projection screen in front. This sim is
primarily used for instrument sorties.

Another view of
an IFT from the front door. Notice that none of the T-6 sims have any
motion associated with it. |

An outside view
of an OFT. The OFT is identical to an IFT except that it has a 300
degree view. Most of your training will be accomplished in OFTs. |
A view of the 3
o'clock position in the OFT. The graphics are night and day compared
to the T-37 sim. The only limitation is that there is no motion (no
hydraulic actuation) associated with any of the sims.

Another view
inside an OFT. The panoramic view in the OFT allows trainees to fly
formation in the sim. This was never possible in the T-37 sim. |
