    Interesting “atmospherics” from our Army aviation counterparts.

    “So, we are short pilots, just candidly speaking,” he said. “I mean, we are under our authorization for aviators, most predominantly seen in the AH-64community.”

    For the past year and a half, flight school has upped the number of training spots to meet the shortfall, he said

    But, he added, “you can’t fill the void with just accessions because then six, eight years later you would have a relatively inexperienced force.”

    So the Army can see the problem with producing away the shortfall... huh.

    In the same vein as Lawman's post:

    1.  If KPAM is a write-off - buildings, sims, etc., does it make sense to A) rebuild it?  B) Move it?

    If B) to where and why?

    Separate but definitely related to B) is where politically does it make sense for the F-22/ABM schoolhouse/other KPAM missions to go?

    I throw the political card because the spoils for rebuilding/moving are going to benefit someone's state/districts.  So who wins and why?

    The F-22 was initially supposed to go to Holloman and NM politics got AFSOC into Cannon. With the airspace available out here I wouldn’t be surprised if something ends up in the land of entrapment.
