Nope, it’s pilot training, it’s not sexy enough

Shack. The T-6 fleet neglect has destroyed it and DMSMS is leaving jets permanently grounded in FY26. IPT/FUPT is an HQ AETC initiative not 19th. The bobs finally are reorging it into a normal MAJCOM after Kwast fucked it and forced Shredder Sears from the A3 position since he wouldn’t delegate the A3 authority but Chuck Bolton would.

Elon has brought in some random tech bro 20 year olds to help him. (Some graduating high school in 2022) Those people don’t have clearances and should absolutely not have access to classified material without proper security clearance vetting/training.

Lockheed would have delivered multiple T-50s within 6 months of contract award. not Prototypes, real working jets ready to execute iot&e then student sorties

y are u nazi tho? Fr fr, on god, skibididi toilet no rizz.

He tap dances around the fact that he required pentagon officials to confirm any potus or secdef orders through him even though he has no command authority.

Well the whole premise was wrong. Of the 3 competitors, the T-7 was the only prototype and not in production COTS jet. There’s also a whole lot of problems with the T-7 which is why it can’t legally go into LRIP.

Office space for the ORF

I’ve talked about commercial training for ratings for a SGTO a bit before but here’s an actual AETC article talking about it. It’s the brain child of Matt Leard the AETC/A5/8. https://www.aetc.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/4024636/us-air-force-partners-with-academia-industry-to-test-future-pilot-production-mo/ oh and the T-7 is still a dumpster fire. https://www.airandspaceforces.com/usaf-rejiggers-t-7-plan/

What in the TikTok gen z did you do?

Back to circa 2013-2014 when CBM had less than 10 flyable jets. every instrument sortie was a night sortie

FMS/mil tech transfer has conditions and oversight by the US government. It’s not new to Ukraine

For reference here is what the page looked like right before the election. https://web.archive.org/web/20241007193219/https://www.af.mil/Diversity/

It will be tested above 1.0 but the USAF didn’t pay for it to be certified so the placard limit will be below it. it was a desired not required part of the contract. If we pay Boeing they will magic wand make it supersonic.

I mean I appreciate Clark’s engagement; however, his MO is these kind of proposals.

The whole everyone flying T-7s is a long way out. T-1 IPs will not fly T-7s because it makes absolutely no sense and no one will be in a T-1 billet by the time it’s opened to non-T-38 trained pilots. Not to mention it’s a type 1 high G aircraft so it needs a full up fuge profile and people are going to be going night night. Other than AFOTEC folks: the 19 AF IOT&E initial cadre are all fighter bubbas because that’s what’s needed. Edit 2: And yes there will eventually be some T-1 trained pilots in the 99th and other places. But that will be rarity. It will be for shiny pennies or test cases

It’s called IPT and is part of FUPT which is the AETC/a5/8s brain child. It’s the whole plan of t-7s for everyone col or general leard

There’s a huge bill to recapitalize the T-6. its not going to happen.

Clark, I’ve always wondered, what is your background and were you a pilot?

Post T-6, UPTs are recored to 11T1x with the x being t-1, t-7, t-38, th-1

The T-38 like it did for decades

Holloman is a train wreck for manpower and maintenance, who would have thought.
