Where are the Os? Have they gone to the FTU yet?

On the fighter side, I think two went to the F-35 and two went Vipers at Kelly, numbers might be slightly off.  I think the Kelly FTU course started in August.  Unsure about any thing on the heavy side of the house.

Do you Viper guys land out of SFO’s? Just curious.

Viper Guy currently in the B Course. We train to it and it's on the Form 8 check.  Can't land out of it per the regs but low approach to 50-100 feet.

Holloman isn't backed up right? 

Anyone know if the UPT next kids have started yet?
