Fixed Wing Qualification for Army Pilots to become USAF pilots?
As stated above FWQ is gone. You will need an age waiver which is probly not an issue in the guard.. You will not need an ARB to convert army to AF wings since you will be attending SUPT in a non rated status(u can still wear army wings though). ARB is only needed if you're going AF helos. You'll do the traditional UPT syllabus. Which -130 hired you?

HC-130/MC-130
Ok. That's kinda what I was told but I don't understand the MC-130Ps at Moffet. They're a rescue squadron but use an MC platform instead of HC's? Are they not special ops anymore? I'm curious did their mission change or just the MAJCOM?

Fighters to Helos
Is this the right thread?.... I have a Ferrari I'd like to trade/sell. It looks too awesome and It's too fast and I've been picking up too many chicks. I'm looking for an early 80's Datsun or Peugeot. Preferably an automatic. Thanks

Flying VFR
Lets just keep splitting this thread... Poll: "what is the highest you have ever been?". Even if it wasn't legal. To include civilian time. Choice wording free of charge.

Good military/aviation books
Anyone know of any good reads or articles on the history of aircraft performance planning? Kinda wondering what it was like in the WW2 era. I can't imagine they had 200pgs of spaghetti charts to run before their B-17 took off. That era of aviation always seemed like it would be quite enjoyable to have experienced so I can't imagine there was any TOLD around to spoil the fun.

Curious, FTU, RTU, IQT "schoolhouse" RAG, navy, etc...Whats the difference? Are the titles airplane specific or something? Are there other names? Which one is currently used?

T-6 Study/Gouge sources
Looking for current T-6 bolface/ops for Laughlin, anyone have a link? I understand the repercussions of potentially outdated material. Will use at own risk. I just want something to start with. T-6Driver did not seem to have the latest update. Thanks
