Wing Sweep Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Are there IP's at Sheppard that instruct T-38s that were prior bomber guys or are they only allowed to instruct in T-6s? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetail Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 As of Jan 08 the only bomber IPs in the 90th FTS were the old F117 guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 As of Jan 08 the only bomber IPs in the 90th FTS were the old F117 guys. ...all of whom were former fighter guys. There are plenty of bomber bros in the 89th flying Tweets and Texans, but none in the 90th. I'm not sure if there's a reason/reg out there for that.

onetail Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 ...all of whom were former fighter guys. Sorry, I give them bomber credit considering the mission and lack of forward firing ordnance. They're still the closest thing to a bomber pilot in the 90th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Container STS Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 In the last assignment cycle, we had 2 -38's and 1 -6 from bombers...it happens, but most bomber guys get ALO'd for an ALFA because we are a smaller community (sometimes...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys would not be at Sheppard though. At ENJJPT, Bomber guys are only allowed to instruct in Phase II (T-37/T-6). At other UPT bases, Bomber guys can perform IP duties in the T-38. -Dewey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have flown the T-37 there but got a T-38 slot elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
