    Not a 22 guy, but the Viper’s flaps are tied to the gear handle. Is the 22 like this as well or is it a separate switch? It was never mentioned in the AIB, or maybe it was and i missed it when I skimmed through it. Still trying to rationalize how that «accident» could have happened. 
     

    For anyone out there in T-38 land, do not early rotate. 

    No separate switch for the flaps, similar to the viper were the fight control computer positions the flaps  with the gear down

    Not sure the full extent. Hopefully not as bad as the T-1 hailstorm.  But some jets are in bad shape

  3. More comedy from the talking craniums. “Before, the needs of the Air Force would shape your career. Now we have talent marketplace where they can go out and at least provide some more input, have a little more agency in there future assignments.” Just so APFC can disregard them because you just signed a bonus and they know you can’t leave

  4. The first of the T-7s are scheduled to go to the T-1 PIT squadron at Randolph based on the roll out article from about a month back.  Don't know if that an indicator or if Big Blue is just shifting squadron numbers around to keep with the red tail vibe

    At the end of the PTN article they mention they're going to be using T-6B's for the third class, is the AF buying some or did we manage to borrow a few from the Navy?

    I'm sure having a HUD from the get go is really going to instill airmanship skills and strengthen a crosscheck....
