  1. The jet has been impounded at least, I know that.
  2. Ah yes, being in Germany and Japan since 1941 really helped till 2001.
  3. 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.
  4. Does he have a high performance sign off?
  5. Airlines don’t view it that way. the only PIC time he will have is solo time.
  6. 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.
  7. No, they just can’t wear faip flags every day like a bunch of dorks.
  8. Some will do R-IFT and fly contract helo first and some will fly only TH-1s.
  9. AMF will prob be T-1 sim and ITD (VR Sim)
  10. They are GS-2181-13s, so civil service yea.
  11. 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.
  12. T-7 has det coord because the side opening canopy cant just blow away.
  13. You can take leave during Christmas. For covid right now anywhere outside 150 mi is leave
  14. 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.
  15. See how that works?
  16. Are you at Vance? UPT 2.5 is at Vance because it was developed from Banzai
  17. And all that’s needed to get this from vaporware to prototype is a cool $50M courtesy of US taxpayers.
  18. 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.”
  19. 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.
  20. The students can find out now. When the flight commander submits OP4418 it’s supposed to have a fighter recommendation if they didn’t get a fighter assignment.
  21. Hope the pilot made it.
  22. You won’t get full meal rate on the weekends. You are”able” to utilize the DFAC on the weekends.
  23. Because the Central School Selection Board (CSSB) just picks you up for school. Your DT (MAF/CAF/SOF) then vectors you to a specific school and that gets sent to the AFPC or A1 Bobs to sort out.
  24. So the implication is that they didn’t know the basics? Not that Lts can’t be interested in more advanced tactics. I just want to make sure I understand your intent.
  25. Clarification for Bashi: A lot of the 560th is populated with IPs who never taught T-38s in UPT. They were T-6 UPT/UCT IPs and then went to be a T-38 PIT IP later.
