Information on PIT (Pilot Instructor Training)

AF Light Air Support Aircraft
Cessna did have a replacement. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessna_526_CitationJet It lost to the T-6 in the JPATS competition. Potentially apocryphal rumor I heard was the Navy demanded a turboprop.

New AFPC commander a pilot
"Maj. Gen. Andrew Toth, a fighter pilot who has flown hundreds of combat hours over Iraq, took command of the Air Force Personnel Center on Aug. 9." Hopefully this results in more transparency and less smoke and mirrors shoe clerkery. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2018/08/13/experienced-fighter-pilot-iraq-veteran-takes-command-at-afpc/

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
FYI the CAF tracked studs did quasi-IFF in the T-6.

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
Because crew duties in the -1 says the PNF is there to get the ATIS and talk on the radios.

BLUE: Episode 25 Pilot Pipeline
No because UPT you actually fly manned aircraft and are a real manned pilot.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
Other than the lack of ELPs I think the new T-6 syllabus is better for T-38 bound SPs.

EFMP (Exceptional Family Member Program)
I would say mandatory enrollment is because there are service members that are more concerned about their career and specific assignments then enduring quality care for their dependents.

AF Reserve Age Limit
Did your unit convert from legacy to J's?
