F-16 Co-designer's take on the F-35
Come on Brecky, 15% of what? Full AB time or loiter time. I can fly a single bag Viper for over 2.5 if I wanted, 15% would be huge.

Checkride Scoring
09-15 was one of my classes, I only gave them their grade book. The ANG low balling is a shame, too bad. I never did it.

Checkride Scoring
You don't or shouldn't know your flight commander ranking. I'm guessing it's pure speciation on everyone's part.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
I've been in both, pluses and minuses to both. A lot stronger "band of brothers" in active duty, miss it a bit, see it on squadron TDYs sometimes. There is more opportunity in the ANG to venture outside the military but still stick around, more family time, more leaving the job at home. There is queep, just like AD, so don't think you are leaving that. Sqwatch had it right from the AD standpoint. As for flying, I think the ANG is mostly better, more flying and continuity, I average more than 10 a month in a Viper unit. However, the silverbacks can drag you down.

F-16 Co-designer's take on the F-35
The Block 50 F-16 wasn't designed to super cruise but it will do it. I think GE is ready to pounce, have multiple engines isn't a problem at all. Post block 30 F-16 had common engine bays, would accept either engine. I bet the GE engine has a non lift fan compromised model as well, that would fix the power problem right there.

Aviation Continuation Pay (ACP - The Bonus)
2016 is the new rumor in ANG land, which if you look at the airline retirements, makes sense.

Checkride Scoring
It doesn't matter between bases, you are racked within your class, so if you all have the same check IPs it doesn't matter. Plus, with PCSs this years hookie monster check flight is next years Santa Clause. Get over it and do your best......F'ing snaps.

What's wrong with the Air Force?
It's how they judge you on looks without saying it. My former Chief of Safety was a Generals whipping boy and he was at a corona when they all decided about blues Monday, it wasn't about heritage, it was about getting eyes on "bigger" people, they decided ABUs can hide a lot.

F-16 Co-designer's take on the F-35
Could happen on any Ps curve, you are forgetting about the vertical though. That being said, I've heard its a pig, still waiting on the GE fix, much like the block 40 F-16. They came to the rescue once before.

Any Columbus AFB guys out there? Request
They did it at Laughlin 4+ years ago! called them a fire hazard. A lot of the willie tiles are at the Dayton F-16 sims.
