    That's crazy. I wonder what the CVR has on it. Malfunction or suicide. FLCS malf pushed them to 49 NL and they only cut 29 degrees before impact. OR Max power dive into the ground with the other pilot pulling the yolk back to 20 NL prior to impact.

    It's official. The USAF requested 8 F-15EXs. https://www.defensenews.com/smr/federal-budget/2019/03/12/us-air-forces-2020-budget-hones-in-on-readiness-emerging-tech/

    KC-46 selection board v3.0 results were released. Best part was the comment about selectees should feel free to apply to other assignments.

    Is SewerRat one of the new AIs that make posts to sound human or is he really semi-literate? The world may never know.

    That's a lot of words from the Chief and talking to SNC and Textron about how he "cannot thank the two companies that joined us enough for their partnership." Meanwhile, other sources are saying industry may not trust Big Blue on future partnerships unless there's money upfront. https://www.realcleardefense.com/articles/2019/02/18/air_force_may_lose_credibility_with_industry_over_light_attack_decision_114190.html

    Put that location and desire in talent marketplace. Let your commander know in a year or so and he can keep trying to extend you. Are you in a Gucci location? If so, it's going to be unlikely. Volunteer for a 365 before you get orders and then ask for a follow-on back to the same location.

    I'd assume if it has a 781 and is logged into ARMS it counts.

    PWC 1 pilots in the T-38C and T-6A are still legal to shoot the (100-¼) PAR into NAS Corpus. Good luck explaining why you went there though if TOP 3 finds out.

    The real question is: did you break out and land or have to go missed?

    So then the 81 FS got a new customer?

    Edited because I read it wrong.

    It's important to have role models. A young girl can see it's possible to be an Air Force pilot when she thinks it's a male only career field.

    It wasn't a flyer because it's not a numbered member. If it's like the tbirds all the support officers have a number too. That would mean enlisted

    A member on the Blue Angels was suspended. https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/02/13/navy-confirms-mysterious-blue-angel-suspension/

    I took the argument more of, the T-X is going to be very easy to fly and we'll cut over half the T-38 syllabus when it transitions to the T-X because you don't have to worry about stubby wings, underpowered compressor stalling engines, and a shitty turn radius. Therefore, it makes more sense to give the T-X to Fighter Training Squadrons to have wingman learn how to employ it as a weapon right after an IQ check.

    New Words: Could be turboprop, turbojet, rotary, unmanned, system of systems Cliffs: We don't really want it. https://www.defensenews.com/newsletters/2019/01/30/the-air-forces-light-attack-experiment-could-be-expanded-to-feature-drones-helicopters-and-more-aircraft/

    Seems like the AETC/CC wants another star.
  18. LookieRookie
    Strange too since he's a career cop. I'd assume he's trying to provide a scapegoat to mitigate the fallout.
  19. LookieRookie
    Nope. Same Same as long as you did primary fixed wing. Caveat, I'm not the 19 AF/DOU so they would have final say.
  20. LookieRookie
    If you flew T-6s you'd do the T-38 T-X course then IFF at Randolph before b course.
  21. LookieRookie
    Pile on since he probably doesnt know: aggregate DPs and checking wings to see if they are speeding
  22. LookieRookie
    U-2s wouldn't gain a newly winged pilot that just washed out of IFF. Odds are he was in E-3/E-8/RC-135 or a U-28
  23. LookieRookie
    The service in general could not handle it because airframes are no longer replaceable
  24. LookieRookie
    This may be a true statement. I'm sure the FEB will review his undergraduate gradebooks as well. Nothing to add broski but be prepared to lose your wings, that doesn't mean you shouldn't fight. Edit: are you in afsoc?

    If a 340 FTG squadron decides to FAIP you, it won't be the 39th. You have to have been an UPT instructor for a tour already to instruct PIT.
