  1. Edited because I read it wrong.
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. A member on the Blue Angels was suspended. https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2019/02/13/navy-confirms-mysterious-blue-angel-suspension/
  5. 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.
  6. 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/
  7. Seems like the AETC/CC wants another star.
  8. Strange too since he's a career cop. I'd assume he's trying to provide a scapegoat to mitigate the fallout.
  9. 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.
  10. If you flew T-6s you'd do the T-38 T-X course then IFF at Randolph before b course.
  11. Pile on since he probably doesnt know: aggregate DPs and checking wings to see if they are speeding
  12. 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
  13. The service in general could not handle it because airframes are no longer replaceable
  14. 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?
  15. 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.
  16. On another note, what ever happened to the attempt to get the Omega Speedmaster Skywalker X-33 as a mil group buy?
  17. I think you mean New Balances.
  18. I have an issue with this. If the engine was "secured" and feathered and it says not to turn into a shut engine in the -1 and he did, that's completely on him. If he just flew straight ahead and gained flying airspeed they wouldn't have stalled. The most important part of an any EP is to maintain aircraft control. It was less than 2 minutes to impact. He destroyed a completely flyable airplane. This doesn't mitigate other factors, but that crew crashed the airplane.
  19. Terrible read. I've heard anecdotally from Herk drivers in the past that no one wants to train with the PRANG because of lack of ability/adherence to standards.
  20. Yes because you have to get your own ATIS, which is super hard.
  21. I'm with your line of thinking
  22. Because all the 12Ms won't have jobs anymore. There's a lot of legacy herk navs in pilot training due to their units transitioning to something that doesn't need a nav.
  23. New ADSC reg dated 22 October on e-publishing today. All ADSCs for IQ/RQ/IPUG/PIT are gone.
  24. Someone get pictures of the wool flight suits. Sounds nice.
  25. Willy is still in use as Mesa Gateway with no airspace. Mather or Reese are available for UPT buffoonery.
