But his O-6+ sponsor said he was “a good dude” I bet…🙄

Something something, Kobyashi Maru, something.... Break, break: I knew the Air Force could go full tilt stupid sometimes....but substituting an actual flying airplane for a damn Redbird is about the most AF stupid type of stupid thing I've heard in a VERY long time.

I still don’t understand the Navy/Marine logic behind the C/D and E/F model Hornets. Honestly seemed like a way to keep NFOs employed following the retirement of the F-14, A-6 and S-3.

Sucks to suck…

As a GA CFII who has taught a good bit in Redbirds…I cannot believe that’s the decision the AF made… …oh wait, yeah I can, because leave it to the AF to do the absolute most dumb fuck thing possible…

Why not just replace the T-1 with a COT solution like a CJ3?

Minot just fired the Comm Sq/CC. SSDD…”loss of confidence“

You can Skillbridge for up to six months. I chose to do four. On Skillbridge you’re essentially PTDY still making all your AD pay and benefits while working as an unpaid intern at whatever company you’re Skillbridging with. I got my ATP out of it, paid for by the company I was working with, and I’m working full time for them now after leaving AD. https://skillbridge.osd.mil

If I can offer you one word… Skillbridge, my dude…there aren’t a shit ton of pilot focused Skillbridge opportunities out there, but there are some. Seems like most are in the 135 world. I did it, and it almost felt like cheating…almost…to be making AD pay for four months while going to a job where I literally just had to fly.

Here’s a thought on the topic of hypocrisy…this individual, who claims to be so pious and devout, has her head shoved completely up the ass of a man who is both a wanton misogynist and an adulterer…but you could say the same for the majority of the evangelical right.

I thought the Phantom was deemed so ugly, the ground just decided when to repel it.

Which is tone deaf and stupid, since Easter is one of the most religiously steeped holidays of the year.

They just reactivated one of the Aggressor squadrons with early block F-35s, IIRC. Might as well throw in the early block Raptors to that bag and have all kind of LO mischief and mayhem reeked upon poor WUGs and RF Msn/CCs

I see even more finger pointing and “oh that’s not our job, that’s xyz’s job”

But hey, at least the DM Hogs going away means plenty of 11Fs to fill those T-38 spots, right, right??

“Possibly PCS”…hell no. Also, imagine just how little effort is going into that OPB.

Damn…writing this one down for future use!

FFS…I have zero confidence in any Boeing aircraft that was built post, say, Reagan presidency.

How the hell are these our only choices? Seriously, this is the best we can do??

FAA’s DEI Hiring initiative Suck it up for 6.9 seconds and read what the FAA, mandated by the Secretary of Transportation, is actively recruiting.

RUMINT in the bomber community is a very serious EP (jet on fire) prior to the approach. Weather was an eyelash above ILS mins. First day back flying after Christmas/New Years. Helluva first day back…

Nick Saban Retiring In what amounts to perhaps one of the most seismic of shifts in the college football landscape in recent memory....Nick Saban retiring at Bama.

KBAD about to lose it’s golf course because…DEI?

Weather was dogshit from Canada to Arkansas yesterday.

I never got to go to UPT. Did the CSO thing, and had a good time in the Buff for over a decade. Covered most the Pacific, sent some ISIS goons to goat paradise. You can still fly and have a good career. Or… I got my CFI, taught on the side and built hours. Now I’ve got my ATP and I’m flying charter, building lots of time and trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up 😂 You’re going to have opportunities, no matter what.
