  2. Yeah, but you there are fundamentals that are transferable also the experience is universal. Granted it's not that hard and it's not an absolute requirement (NVGs, SPINs, etc...) but I think it would enhance the product delivered to the Heavies, just an idea irrespective of money, planning or logistics so it'd be highly disruptive but that's how evolution happens sometimes. No argument on returning to a single Advanced Phase Trainer - got to see the T-50 and T-100 displays at AFA Convention this year - only VIPs got to see the Boeing presentation and Clark Griswold was not on that list. Awesome jets and a huge leap from where we are at now, once again if I were CSAF for a day we'd all track to the new Phase III trainer and incorporate IFF, NVGs, LL, etc into an extended syllabus... and based on that final score, dudes would be deemed Fighter qual'd and select whatever they wanted based on merit.

  3. Buy enough T-X's to cover both the present T-38 track and T-1 track. Benefits: Eliminates an entire fleet--the CSAF has repeatedly stated this is how we save moneyEnables the AF to delay the Heavy / Fighter decision until later in a student's timelineSome might say that the T-1 is necessary to train our heavy pilots... I'm not so sure. My community has a bunch of T-38 trained folks and they seem to be doing fine. Bottom line, the AF could eliminate the T-1 while retaining elements of the T-1 syllabus--trained in the T-X.
