Air Force to adopt all-jet pilot training system
The Air Force will switch to an all-jet training program starting this week at Randolph AFB. The T38 Talon will replace the T33 as the primary jet trainer while the T37 will be used for initial instruction at bases in the Air Training Command. The change shortens training by about three weeks and consolidates instruction at a single installation to cut travel costs.
