The 14th Flying Training Wing at Columbus AFB, Miss., last month sent its first T-6A Texan II specialized undergraduate pilot training sortie off. The wing only received its first Texan II in mid-October. Columbus is in the process of trading its T-37 Tweets for the new trainers.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
