These coasties showed up lol. -
It’s a fair point. But yes, it does still matter because the force composition will never be 100% CCA anytime in the medium-term future (sure at some point it’ll all be T1000 fighting each other, but that’s a ways off).
Or the Coast Guard, they would never show.
Well, if you want a hint at how well Boeing is going to build a new fighter, take a look at how the T-7 is going.
Good thing airlines can easily tanker enough gas for 1:20 each way.
My brother was the -135 boom who AR’d the B-1s. He made sure to rep Broncos Country.
Likewise was picked up during the 2025 board and did UPT at Vance. Can't answer any IPT questions as I was in one of the last classes on the 2.5 syllabus but graduated T-6 UPT last week and am currently in academics for the T-38. Open to answering any questions you guys might have about UPT or Vance!

Cuban govt has told airlines they won't have gas after tomorrow.
The classic 5+1 formation. At least they didn't let the Navy run the timing or we'd still be waiting.- Yesterday
that lives in Biff’s head.
If the leaked practice footage holds, the surprise will be loud!
Great book
Great book
I was in the second ever class of IPT at Peachtree. There were a significant amount of growing pains associated with IPT. Those should be ironed out by the time you get to where you’re going. IPT is good for bonding with your class, and getting your hands warm. There is some negative transfer with the G1000 and the legacy instruments of the T-6. Checklist usage at civilian flight schools is much more lax than in a military environment. IPT was cool. I got my Multi and instrument out of it for free.99. Where you go is luck of the draw. You can take strategic leave when you get to CAFB to align yourself with a IPT location you desire. But even then it’s not a guarantee as they fill classes as you arrive. You may get back from leave and the class you’re trying to get into is already full. It’s a little chaotic with casuals down here. Lots and lots of first assignment LT’s are waiting to start training.
If you're asking if George Marshall fired a lot of generals before we entered combat, the answer is yes (unknown if 600 is correct). These books offer good insights on what he did and why. They're free on Libby.

It was his point on the affordability of the -47 and by implication the F/A-XX that gives me pause and consideration. It’s like Op Spider Web, cost of that operation vs what effects they had, the cost of a 47 or XX vs 690 cheaper weapons thrown against it Does the platform matter as much when the weapons / enablers (CCAs) are so much cheaper and therefore can be more plentiful?
Lots of moving parts, a drop out and a supposed surprise. A B-1 from Ellsworth will lead the the 7 ship. They were supposed to have 2 X F-22s but the Raptors had to drop for (operational requirements - read we are getting reading to pound the crap out of Iran), two F-15C's from Fresno will step in to cover down. Next 2 X F/A-18s out of Lemoore. Finally 2 X F-35Cs from Lemoore. No idea what the surprise is....would be great if they pissed all the California Liberals off by blazing the entire formation over in burner....hope it is a good show.
