How do you feel about your airframe and mission?
Still somewhat early but are there any F-35 pilots or folks in the know here that can speak to life in that jet? This forum has been awesome, especially for another fresh UPT stud.

Single Seat or Strike Eagle?
Thank you all for the insight and opinion, it's been entertaining and quite informative. I look forward to learning more and more as I advance through the program, I'm pumped to have the opportunity! Another question I've thought of during this discussion is what are the likes/dislikes you have about the A/A and A/G missions?

Single Seat or Strike Eagle?
Hello, I am very green here and am looking for advice on the topic subject everywhere I can find it. I was hoping to gain insight from those with experience in/retired from the CAF about the pro/cons of flying a single seat fighter vs. the Strike Eagle, specifically on the individual vs. crew aircaft aspect. I've been able to get small bits and pieces of opinion from people around base, but nothing polarizing for either option. I am a UPT student and realize this may be moot as needs of the air force will ultimately be the deciding factor in the assignment I receive, but if granted the opportunity to choose, I'd like to be as informed as possible. Thank you in advance for your time.

Track Selects and Assignment Nights
Rumor has it that due to the transfers from other bases, T-6 scores here at Sheppard are going to be disregarded due to the difference in Syllabi... purely rumor at this point though.
