scudrunner12 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Wanted to start a thread to get some general information on the C-145. Just looking for the standard stuff about training pipeline, rotation schedule (dwell time), lifestyle, upgrade timelines, etc. Is the squadron mainly still guys that did the FID/rotary mission or is it becoming a sampling of other AFSOC platforms (& UPT studs)?

SurelySerious Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Combat Coyote? AFSOC really loves that combat monicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHoler Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 "A handful of C-145 personnel have already relocated to Duke Field after being selected to join the 6th SOS," said Capt. Scott Whitmore, 318th SOS executive officer. http://www.afsoc.af.mil/news/story_print.asp?id=123342547 Google and the GAL are your friends.

DFRESH Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 If some of my AFSOC bubbas have info on this, I'd be thankful. AFSOC granted me the opportunity to acquire 1200 combat hours and a long tour (in a fu€?ing tent); I'm well aware of what NSAv entails. Looking for slightly more applicable insight. I was clearly joking, lighten up francis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Combat Platypus Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Check the 2014/2015 flying hours to see if it's still around. The FTU is at duke field via the 19th SOS till oct then should fall under AFSOWC. Anywho I would not expect to fly it for long if you got the opportunity to do so.

scudrunner12 Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 Bump. Anyone have any new news on 6SOS/CAA? How's hiring and squadron health looking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hispeed7721 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) The 6th was doing hiring tours around all the UPT bases within the past year or so...they said they are mostly interested in guys with IP/EP time, but that wasn't a deal breaker. A buddy of mine just got picked up following an IP gig at CBM with them. If you want PM me your .mil and I'll get you in contact with him Edited August 8, 2016 by hispeed7721 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BashiChuni Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 i love when dudes start throwing their combat hours and/or air medals around you know to grab the popcorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olevelo Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I heard the 6th is getting rid of the C-145's already and going back to more of a similar mission of a few years ago. Anyone know anything about that?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tac airlifter Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I've been hearing it for a while. We'll see. Lots of $$ to turn on what they turned off, and no small undertaking if they want to get the RW FID mission back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Current plan is to keep the C-145's for mobility training and then to obtain some C-208's for ISR/Strike training and possibly a tailwheel aircraft in the future and never go back to rotary wing aircraft.

MC5Wes Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Getting ready to retire and have been looking online for my next job. Saw this ad for UH-1N Operations and maintenance support in Crestview. I know Eglin had some UH-1Ns when I there. But that was range support. The S3 company is looking for Pilots and Mechanics. Is the Air Force moving the UH-1Ns from Kirtland to Duke? https://chj.tbe.taleo.net/chj04/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=S3INC&cws=1&rid=2195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I can't help you whatsoever with your question, but that job posting makes me laugh. So basically they only want dudes that retired from the 6th? Not even just separated - young dudes need not apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time CRH was going to do DT out of Duke, not sure if that is still the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breckey Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 It's for the 413th FLTS. They're the DT test squadron for helos including the HH-60W. The UH-1Ns there do range support for the Eglin range as well as limited Huey test operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
