The interior design of the T-6 F features dual Air-Conditioner and modular seating arrangement with choice of bench-seats, flip-up seats, slung seats or blast-mitigating seats for the crew compartment, as well as emergency stretcher and first-aid kit. The Driver/Commander and Crew areas can be tailored to specific requirements, said MSPV.
