Also I find it quite bizarre that the USAF Academy is based at a high altitude airfield, when they are operating normally aspirated piston prop trainers. I'm sure there's an explanation. Not being from the USAFA I don't happen to know it! :)


My guess would be weather and terrain.

I'm not sure when the Air Force accademy came in to being, but if it was during the 1950's they probably had dreams that someday every plane would be turbine engined.


As did everyone! ;D
