Great point I agree

SOCOM. Not AFSOC. SOCOM.

Knowing a deficiency exists does not equal wanting to fix it. Big blue has already fucked it up. We should have had this a decade ago.

The actions I’ve seen do not back up what you’re saying.

Tank I disagree. The gunship guys running afsoc do not like or want light attack. Ac-130J with lasers is the savior.

That is the real solution. Tribalism hinders effectiveness and “innovation”

It’s cause AFSOC/acc/Air Force doesn’t really want it. AFSOC blows their load on gunships. ACC is fighter mafia. And the Air Force is incompetent. Look at the history and and origin of the U-28. It wasn’t any Air Force types pushing that rope. And look how AFSOC/Air Force treat that platform. There’s your answer for light attack. Itll continue to be the red-headed step child

Shocking

chang entertained me

pretty cool. standing by for Guardian to tell us how much he hates Fingers in 3, 2, 1....

He may very well be a good guy. I fell for that w the previous CCAF. I give zero fucks anymore about the “good guy” card. Maybe we need a real asshole to call a spade and tell the emperor he has no fucking clothes.

no answers? No. No leadership.

Fuck this shit

Two piece much more comfy deployed

Quibbling

This.

underrated post

confirm BASIC fighter fundamentals? also confirm INTRODUCTION to fighter fundamentals? not some super secret spec ops 5th gen fighter pilot shit? basic right? like bedrock fundamental principles that have probably applied since eddie rickenbacker? lead, lag, angles, energy management, station keeping, bombing range patterns? if kids do IFF in a 50+ year old jet i'm sure they can get the required learning points out of a T-6 im willing to give it a chance and see the results. some of you guys sound like the navy telling billy Mitchell he could never sink their battleship from the air. rickenbacker and mitchell in one post...my history teacher would be proud.

Wow. I guess my pending adsc removal ticket ain’t gonna happen...

PTN's greatest fruit will be lighting a fire under UPT's ass to innovate and incorporate some of this VR tech into UPT syllabi i think the concerns are valid about sending kids w 30 t-6 hours to fighters. how bad or good will it be? we're about to find out!

pilot flying pilot talking. it's the way god intended.

Not scared. Aware. Both I’d say

hacker i hope you're right. but every time the private sector gets pushed against a wall what do they do? innovate. technology is moving way faster than it was even 10 years ago. now that being said would i take a job at fedex in two years? hell yeah lol maybe im a hypocrite but i honestly worry about automation during my 30 year airline career. I don't think its that far fetched.

I’ll be looking at the jump to airline world in two years. Only long term concern about FedEx/UPS is the move to unmanned ops. Im thinking long term here over the course of a 30 year career. That concern alone makes pax more appealing in my mind.
