After Yang Yi had become very familiar with flying the small aircraft, the T-6A, he began to realize its true purpose.
What does that mean? The T-6A is a trainer aircraft, a military trainer to be precise, which exists not to teach people who can't fly to learn to fly, but to simulate learning to fly other types of aircraft for those who already know how to fly.
The T-6A is a propeller aircraft, and is also a primary trainer, but one thing to be clear about is that the T-6A is not outdated. Although its slower speed is a downside, as a trainer aircraft, the only downside is that slower speed.
In the United States, there are two kinds of trainer aircraft: the primary trainer T-6A and the advanced trainer T-38. However, the T-6A, except for not being able to simulate the speed of a jet fighter, is largely used as an all-purpose trainer.
