Nineline Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 UPT 2.5 will be taught by the PIT squadrons. PTN is taught by Det 24 on the T-6 side.Is Det 24 still at KAUS or has it moved? If one were to PCS to RND for T-6s, who decides whether they go to the 559th or Det 24?-9-Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea who owns the billets for PTN, whether AFPC/White jets or AETC/Illuminati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 For those of us that didn’t do Air Force UPT, how fast is this in comparison to non-PTN?I wouldn’t bother trying to compare. A UPT student would still be in the academic phase on training day 25...wouldn’t even have touch an airplane yet.~Bendy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeHoler Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Im guessing that is training days since hitting the line not since starting academics. But I could be wrong. Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile appThat can’t be right because when I went through I did my $ ride then like the next week was X Mas Break and then I soloed at like the end of January so that would have been like 20 days on the flight line.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachbar Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I think this is comparable to the old initial solo, but keep in mind the legacy initial solo was a 0.3 sortie of 2, maybe 3 normal landings. And you were only cleared for that after you demonstrated the fact that you wouldn’t kill yourself to an IP in the same aircraft in the same exact conditions. You wouldn’t even get out of the plane. The IP would hop out, shake your hand, and watch you taxi back out. Now the initial solo is closer to the area solo of yesteryear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurelySerious Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Not UPT but I heard rumor of some contract fliers at KRND for IFFThere are contract civilians teaching in the IFF squadron, but not the contracted out UPT referenced above. The IFF guys are previous fighter IPs and function in the IFF squadron like a normal IP, just with beards and/or long hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WheelsOff Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Contractors have been flying with IFF at Columbus for at least a year now. Most were former 49th IPs who either retired or separated and just put on the tan bag and grew a beard. Last I’d heard, the idea of a contractor gig on the UPT side has pretty much died in the water…I guess 19th still thinks “we got this!” 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
