    [ Up ] [ Car Calc ] [ Headphone Stuff ] [ T-3A ] [ M16 4-Way ] [ Mini ] [ PETP ] The T-3 and Me In my 21 years as a US Army and Air Force pilot my most dangerous assignment came as an instructor pilot at the United States Air Force Academy flying the Slingsby T-3A Firefly trainer. The T-3A "Flying Coffin" was a cool little fully aerobatic plane that had a propensity for killing its pilots. It killed a good friend and flight- mate of mine, Captain Dan "Fish" Fischer in February 1995. The T-3A went on to kill a total of three Air Force Instructor Pilots and three cadet student pilots in less than three years of service at the Academy. A 3rd Flying Training Squadron T-3A was also destroyed in a landing accident at Hondo Airfield, Texas during that period. When you combine that with the Slingsby T67/T-3A Firefly's dismal safety record of 36 fatal accidents killing 48 occupants (and counting) you begin to understand just how dangerous this aircraft is. In fact the T-3A was so dangerous the Air Force completely destroyed its entire fleet instead of selling them or giving them to Air Force Flying Clubs like it did with its predecessor the T-41. I flew the Firefly's predecessor, the T-41 Mescalero, at the Academy from August '92 to September '94. I transitioned into the T-3 in late 1994 during the plane's phase in and I flew it until September '96 when I left the Academy. I was the 557FTS Flight Safety Officer during the first fatal T-3 accident in Feb '95 and I served on that first flight safety investigation board.

    THE YORK FIREFLY AND THE WICHITA MESCALERO And the Fiasco That Ensued By Walt Shiel ©1995 Walter P. Shiel All Rights Reserved Mescalero and Firefly by Walt Shiel 2 or 30 years every Air Force pilot wanna-be had to prove his or Fher aviating mettle in the venerable Cessna 172, christened by the Air Force the T-41 Mescalero. The T-41 served the Air Force with the same stolid dependability the 172 served the civilian community, but the time came to find a replacement -- a replacement capable of providing a more realistic introduction to military flying, better suited to screening out those unfit for its rigors, and better able to prepare fledgling aviators for their first jet experience in the T-37 primary jet trainer. To fill this role, in April 1991 the Air Force issued a Request for Proposals for an Enhanced Flight Screening aircraft. Several teams responded, including Mooney with an aerobatic, missionized M21 EFS -- the only truly American design proposed. However, in its customarily inscrutable wisdom, the Air Force handed the lucrative contract, which could have been a much-needed stimulus for the flagging US lightplane industry, to ©1995 All Rights Reserved Mescalero and Firefly by Walt Shiel 3 an international team -- long-time British glider manufacturer Slingsby Aviation Ltd. and their American partner, Northrop Worldwide Aircraft Services, Inc. (NWASI). The proven Slingsby T67 trainer was already in service with the Canadian, British, and Dutch armed forces. To meet US Air Force performance requirements, Slingsby upgraded the original four-cylinder, 160-horsepower T67 with a 260-horsepower, six-cylinder Lycoming IOE-540-D4A5, with inverted fuel and oil systems, mated to a Hoffman three-bladed, constant-speed propeller.
