so the Air Force is outsourcing its pilot training now? In my mind that's taking things several steps too far.

Yep, it is all going to China and India. The pilots come back through WalMart. :-)

The flight schools are screening pilots to see who is capable of advancing and who isn't. Then the AF takes back over.

I fly this plane and it's a lot of fun, I do tho', like others here, hate to see the T-3's simply scrapped. What a waste!!
