T-6s? They are allowed non-towered ops. Although it has to have an “authorized” list.
-
Well what was the specific reason given? It depends on that answer. DLF is the only base that doesn’t have a runway suitable for T-38s next door.

This is a terrible speech. edit: VEEP rolled her eyes and looked down when POTUS went off script and said “look, mumble mumble mumble”

From what I remember, he started good anti trump piece after he didn’t get the SECAF job. https://www.defensenews.com/congress/2019/04/27/rep-adam-kinzinger-says-hes-open-to-air-force-secretary-job/

What a shit show
-
Ah yes, they are going to review the takeoff decision when the crew landed and were overrun. i also hope the AFCENT commander is being investigated for allowing a strat asset go to an overrun airfield.
-
The jet has been impounded at least, I know that.
-
Ah yes, being in Germany and Japan since 1941 really helped till 2001.

I don’t buy into the fight them over there ideology. I’ve never seen any empirical proof. There have been plenty of threats that have emerged in the states (not to be scale of 9/11) that have emerged from other places. Not to mention our Saudi “friends” have more responsibility in 9/11 than merely the geography of Afghanistan. The fight them over there so we don’t fight them here seems to be a justification for a sunk cost.

Does he have a high performance sign off?
-
Airlines don’t view it that way. the only PIC time he will have is solo time.
-
Vance or Randolph syllabus? Randolph from what I know is AMF aka ITD/sim only. It is the step towards having no T-1s. Fighter/bomber bound will still get T-38 eventually T-7 time.

No, they just can’t wear faip flags every day like a bunch of dorks.

Any new info on Helo only track in AF SUPT?
LookieRookie replied to alwyn2d's topic in General Discussion
Some will do R-IFT and fly contract helo first and some will fly only TH-1s. -
AMF will prob be T-1 sim and ITD (VR Sim)
-
They are GS-2181-13s, so civil service yea.
-
Probably the whole ANG. But those slots can be built in the QMW if needed. T-38 transition is for people who flew toners in Phase III or have been out of a T-38 for a while. It’s to enable success at IFF and is at Randolph. It’s a “TX” course that doesn’t result in a qual.

T-7 has det coord because the side opening canopy cant just blow away.

Information on PIT (Pilot Instructor Training)
LookieRookie replied to a topic in General Discussion
You can take leave during Christmas. For covid right now anywhere outside 150 mi is leave -
I wonder what people in the 90s said about T-1 training when everyone had only gone through T-38s. The point is, pilot training changes.
-
See how that works?
-
Are you at Vance? UPT 2.5 is at Vance because it was developed from Banzai
-
And all that’s needed to get this from vaporware to prototype is a cool $50M courtesy of US taxpayers.
-
Thankfully the pilot is fine. standby for a safety down day? “ A U.S. Air Force F-16 Viper assigned to the 49th Wing crashed during landing at Holloman AFB at approximately 1800 MDT today. The sole pilot on board successfully ejected and is currently being treated for minor injuries. Emergency responders are on scene; additional details will be released as they become available.”

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
LookieRookie replied to Toro's topic in General Discussion
Meet the new bonus, it's like the old bonus of 25K, except it says FY21. I have no idea, but I have the pitchfork and torch market cornered.
