This is the training plane that will be replacing the T-34's. This aircraft needs a 7000 ft. runways in order to stop. The plane cannot reverse the engine to slow down and it has a weak braking system according to the previous commander of Whiting Field at Milton, Florida. For these reasons runways at Silverhill OLF and Barin Field OLF and eventually Summerdale OLF will be lenghthened and an additional runway added. You can thank the current County Commissioners and County Planning Comm. for approving the Navy expansion program in Baldwin. Remember that when you go to the polls.
