U.S. Air Force Graduates First Class of XPW Pilots
As part of its efforts to streamline the training system, the USAF is now training some multi-engine pilots using the T-1 Jayhawk entirely.
The Jayhawk—such as this 99th FTS example—is the U.S. Air Force’s primary multi-engine trainer. Under the traditional UPT program students destined for multi-engined types fly the single-engined T-6 basic trainer before progressing to the Jayhawk. (Photo: U.S. Air Force)
