The aircraft listed were: T-6, T-38, F-16, F-15, F-18, B-2, U-2, and SU-30. Obviously that list depends on the type of airframe/unit you're applying for, but generally speaking, if you can identify all current US fighters/bombers, USAF trainers, and 5-6 foreign aircraft, you'll be just fine. As a sidenote, that slideshow also included Robin Olds. I'd be able to identify him and John Boyd. Thank you! This is a great rundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burger Posted February 4, 2020 Share Posted February 4, 2020 Anyone know if any Guard/Reserve squadrons hire civilian UPT applicants for the CV-22? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Boy Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Thought I’d give everyone a heads up. It sounds like the 107th at Selfridge will likely have a board in April with a meet and greet during our March drill (07/08 March 2020). Nothings 100% confirmed yet but I’ll keep you guys posted. I’ve heard this from the new OG, FS commander, and several others higher up in the chain of command.So get your applications ready!Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna shoot for the 158th in Savannah to break the ice. Tricky thing about my situation is that I'm currently AD assigned to Andersen AFB in Guam so I'm not sure how that's gonna work with my DEROS. If anyone has any insight on the 158th, it would be much appreciated. PM me. Long time ANG C-130 Nav with lots of insights on how the hiring process goes for fully qualified bubbas.

The post you commented on meant recognition so when they show you a picture of an aircraft at the interview you should be able to state what aircraft it is. And based on his comment, there aren't a lot of of units who would do that to you in an interview. So, you may not want to waste too many brain bytes on it but it still will be a good thing to work on as you proceed into your budding AF career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the Missouri B-2s they just had a UPT board but it was open to only for folks who were currently in the Missouri Air National Guard. The POC said they occasionally will recruit UPT from the outside but it depends on the year. Hope this helps some folks. For you young Bomber wannabee pilots, I suggest scratching the B-1 off the list. It is on the retirement chopping block. Not a done deal but I wouldn't go to Vegas or even Atlantic City and put any money on any future new Reserve B-1 pilots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know an ANG pilot who got a VC-### (737) position at Andrews recently so probably has the inside scoop on who they look for. Likely only current Rated bubbas need apply (he was long time 130 guy who was at NGB on staff for awhile). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understood things correctly after last weekend, interview notifications may go out a bit later than the given date (today) but the board dates (April) will remain unchanged.

Nova1976 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I just rushed Tulsa this past weekend. They plan on notifying interview selectees the first weekend of march due to the email address mix up. Board is still planned to be in April. If anything, calling the squadron and talking to a pilot is usually the best source of accurate info. 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
