What's wrong with the Air Force?
The other stupid shit of going out to a ramp of 60 KC-135s and instead of looking at a tail number for the right jet, I guess just spend time to look at every jet’s forms until you get to the right one? I guess Mini didn’t realize that if the CAF wasn’t doing his dumb ass tail number and callsign shit, the MAF probably didn’t need to either.

Mini was only respected by slick Herk dudes. This is also the same idiot who took tail flashes off active-duty AMC aircraft because apparently China doesn't use ADS-B and stopped the use of static callsigns for homestation training sorties. He's also the guy who greenlighted a one-pilot KC-46 flight. The same aircraft that has numerous CAT-I deficiencies. Removing tail flashes and not holding Boeing to the fire over the KC-46 is not really the future threat (China) planning that he liked to yap about.

Blue Angels pier fly by
That’s until someone complains to Pete on X and the CoC gets fired. No commander is risking their career over that.

B-21 Raider
Will these CSOs have a pilot training commitment? Won't they leave the USAF after their initial commitment like their pilot peers do? I know a Mudhen WSO who washed out of UPT. Would he be able to try to become a pilot again?

- Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training
I was a courseware author on the KC-46, and I'm currently a F-16 Flight Manual Manager. I've worked with a lot of retired military pilots in both airframe programs who had no desire to fly for the majors because they didn't want to bag drag through airports as an FO in the 40s-50s. A lot of fighter pilots don't want to go to the airlines and work at Lockheed with me because they like doing "fighter pilot shit" and not flying an ILS all the time.- Initial Pilot Training and Future Pilot Training
