The T-6 is a development of the Pilatus PC-9, modified significantly by Beechcraft in order to enter the Joint Primary Aircraft Training System (JPATS) competition in the 1990s.The JPATS competition winning design was based on a commercial off the shelf Pilatus PC-9, with minor modifications. Additional requirements and conflicts between the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy resulted in delays, cost increases (from initial estimates of $3.9 to roughly $6 million per aircraft) and a completely new aircraft that is 22 % or 1,100 lbs heavier than the Pilatus. |

Das JPATS-Design wurde auf einem kommerziellen Pilatus basiert PC-9, mit geringfügigen Ände-rungen. Zusätzliche Anforderungen und Konflikte zwischen der U.S. Air Force und der U.S. Navy führten zu Verzögerungen, Kostensteigerungen (von anfänglichen Schätzungen von 3,9 bis etwa 6 Millionen Dollar pro Flugzeug) und einem völlig neuen Flugzeug, das 22 Prozent schwerer ist als die Pilatus. |

Einsatzgeschichte |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The T-6A also replaced all T-34Cs with Training Air Wing 6 at NAS Pensacola in early 2005. T-6Bs began replacing T-34Cs as the primary trainer with Training Air Wing 5 at NAS Whiting Field in the late summer of 2009 and the installation will operate both aircraft as it transitions over the next few years. Training Air Wing 4 at NAS Corpus Christi will continue to operate the T-34C as the primary trainer, with the arrival of the T-6B scheduled for that location in 2012. On 18 May 2010 Training Wing 5 had the first training flight of a T-6B. |
