Hey guys,
Really appreciate all the information Iāve learned from you guys over the years. Iāve been applying left and right to Guard/Reserve fighter units for about two and a half years now. Iām getting impatient and am starting to consider AD.
My scores are relatively good and Iāve been told several times by a couple units āYouāre a great candidate; thereās not really anything you can do to make your application better. Just keep trying.ā
28 years old, Pilot: 90 / Nav 85 / PCSM 86 w/ 73 flight hours, Max PCSM 96. I played college sports, graduated on the honor roll, have my PPL, etc.
My question is this: should I go AD, what are the odds I get drones or helicopters? My top 3 list would be something like 1. A-10/2. F-35/3. F-22. Iām hugely passionate about attempting to become a fighter pilot, not for the ācoolā factor but because I truly feel an intense passion for the mission, especially CAS. I understand there isnāt really an EXACT answer since āneeds of the Air Forceā but Iām just curious if any of you all have heard about Active guys and typically how many drone and helo pilots come out of a class at UPT. I REALLY donāt want unmanned.
Thanks guys.
