CSO drop nights


Recommended Posts

No -135 navs, either RCs or KCs.  Interesting.  A good drop, though!


A friend of mine that is a KC-135 NAV says they don't have intentions of taking on any more NAVs from Pensacola since they are closing shop here soon.

Not surprising.  Wonder when we'll start seeing the same from the AWACS community?

Given the pace of DRAGON installation... Probably not for a while. I'm pretty sure the 40/45 mod (separate program, but further along than DRAGON) isn't even funded for the entire E-3 fleet yet. Guessing the E-3 nav has at least another 4-5 years of life.

It was a U model. We have only seen one student drop the J model so far (and that was some months ago now) 

Might be a placeholder the.  U-boats aren't using the "CSO" nomenclature.

The people making the slides are why it says Nav vs CSO. Probably an oversight on their part.

What do most CSO students these days want?  Is it pretty spread out or is there a general consensus towards certain missions/airframes?

 

The most popular airframes (No.1 choice) students want these days are mostly F-15s, RC-135s and EC-130s, with a few AFSOC sprinkled in there. These seem to be the most popular lately. Classes are usually quite evenly split with 50% wanting EWO/Nav type stuff and 50% wanting WSO/AFSOC.

7 BUFFS....Wow!

The Buff drops are probably driven by our cyclical FTU.  We only do three classes per year.  Seems like PCola gets a couple of Buff-heavy drops to fill them out.   I'm a current FTU instructor; if they have questions I can pass my email to your or they can PM me on here.
