[simpits-tech] Interesting item

[Brian Sikkema]

The Air Force is currently phasing out the T-37 with the T-6 and the T-38A 
with the T-38C. All those CFT's have to be going SOMEWHERE. I just wish I 
knew where. They would make BEAUTIFUL simpits.

Procedures trainers seem like such good simpit candidates. :) I need to
find a training center that's going out of business and has like a T-38
nose or something with fake instruments etc in it. :)

I'd never heard of the touch test, interesting. I can see why they use a
sim for it, hehe........
