The T-44A Up Close

Today after academics, one of my buddies and I went out to the flight line just to hop in one of the T-44s and familiarize ourselves with the cockpit layout. We were surprised to find that the aircraft actually feels even older than we thought it would. It's going to take some getting used to, but the little bit of exposure to the actual aircraft that we got today was well worth it. We just read through the checklist, tried to find all the switches, and ran through basic ops. It's going to take some solid chairflying and checklist runthroughs, but it should be fun.

It is weird having a toilet in the back and an actual door into the aircraft.
