Go talk with guys who maintain and fly the A29, they hate it. It's unreliable, hard to work on, and parts support from Brazil sucks.

I usually only get to talk to the guys who take the green bird and finish it for the customers. And the military acceptance pilots. They seem to think the A-29 is more robust, more powerful, and more pilot friendly than the AT-6. However they agree with you on the Brazilian support.

It may be a sweet flyer, but the people I have spoken with said the AT-6 did not hold up well in the ME environment, and that the brakes sucked.

I don't know what to say, other than your guys and my guys seem to disagree. I've never flown either, so have no first-hand opinion.
