Meh, some brakes will squeak until the surface rust wears off, but they'll be fine. I thought all the T-34s were gone by now.

They are T-6's

Most of them are T-6s... but a few airframes apparently didn't get the word that they are being replaced:

Looks like a T-45 went into the bay at North Island today, pilot ejected and is fine.

Just saw the info on the Hawk. Had to get away from all the TX flooding and headed to Key West for the week. Going out on the dive boat looked up and saw 5xF5s from -111 returning followed by a nice diamond of Rhinos (Super Bugs), assumed it was VFA-106 det. If I could've been stationed in KW!
