US Air Force buys 19 DG-1000 trainiers
Their cheapest hardware, but total landed cost will be about $5
million. Meanwhile most US clubs and commercial operators are using
trainers based on a circa 1940 single seat design and/or trying to
figure out what to do with a 1970s Czechoslovakian debacle.
Can't the USAFA racing team fly the DG1001s? Would that be stooping
too low?
The benefits of working for a company that prints its own money...

I'd rather have the air-force guys flying gliders than anything with
an engine in it.
