AT-6 dry lake bed

Why is it that the following gear looks to me far less scary? But then again, what do I know?...

No idea what this sentence means...also, no idea why you posted a picture of the A29 Super Tucano in a thread about the AT-6?

The real question is who is the winner who is trying so hard to speak like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman?

Me's'a foreigner, patois' different. Sorry, will amend ways. My main question is: doesn't that AT-6 gear look a bit frail for what it is?

What AT-6? It's already been pointed out that the picture you posted is a Tucano, not a T-6. You can tell by the 5 bladed prop, rounded as opposed to triangular starter air intake below the left cowling, FLIR (or whatever) in the nose as opposed to under the cokpit, and the fact that its has a Brazilian registration number (but odly that looks like a Colombian roundel on the aft fuseladge).

AT-6 on the video, Super Tucano on the picture for comparison...

How in the world did that engine not shit itself as soon as that dust started flying into the intake?

Inertial separation. Introduces a high-G turn in the intake flow prior to the compressor. Debris is too heavy to make the turn.
