Overview
- The Air Force reported that both crew members performed a controlled bailout after their T-6A Texan II went down near Seguin and are receiving local medical evaluation.
- A 12th Flying Training Wing statement said the bailout followed a hard landing at an uncontrolled airfield after the cockpit showed unsafe landing-gear indications and the pilots consulted experts.
- The T-6A Texan II is a single-engine, two-seat primary trainer used by Air Education and Training Command as the first military aircraft in undergraduate pilot training.
- There are no public findings from a formal accident investigation yet, and officials have not released details on injuries or the exact crash site.
- Past AETC training crashes have prompted probes into maintenance mistakes and instructor actions, so investigators will likely examine system indications, maintenance records, and crew decisions.
