Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm looking into the reserve aggressor squadron suggestions. Not sure if that's possible for me as a Hawkeye guy. Can't complain at all since flying the T 45 is a blast. Just trying to see if fighters operationally would be possible.

So my background is I am a Navy E2 Hawkeye pilot that got picked up as a full time reservist flight instructor in the strike pipeline flying t45 goshawks. I plan on finishing my career in the Navy but am wondering if it's possible to get hired by the ANG after. By then I'll be 42, have about 3500 + total time. I've always wanted to fly fighters, would it be possible to get hired at my age? If so, how would that affect my pension which would kick in at 42?

I'm an E-2C Hawkeye pilot, currently in a nonflying duty as an ROTC instructor and want to fly fighters for the Air Force. The two main things I think that are against me are coming from a non-fighter background and I am 32 years old. I do have over 1100 hours and 100 hours in the T-45 Goshawk. I also have a Masters in Business Admin (I know, big deal, but hey) and was number one coming out of my fleet squadron. Anybody know what my chances are of getting picked up by ANG or AD Air Force for a fighter slot? I started pursuing the ANG angle near where I am currently and it seems possible but hard to do. Anybody have an opinion or someone with experience who has done this?
