di1630 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 There are no more form t/o and landings in 38’s correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyPilot Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Form t/o is still a thing. No more form landings...low approach only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckHunter Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 So tired of this. This week sucks for the Red Bulls, and that was true prior to today. Prayers for all involved. But let’s keep cutting training and delaying acquisitions of new stuff…seems to be working. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomer6 Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Almost 2 years to the day we lost two bros on a formation landing at END. I guess we have to lose ppl before we can cut syllabus items that are is irrelevant in the CAF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that I'm of the opinion that your comment is misplaced, not well thought out, unprofessional and poorly timed. But we can discuss it in the future when we actually have some facts about what happened, rather than hashing out opinions and speculation before we even know the names of those involved... people we share the uniform with... in this tragic and unfortunate mishap.

You’re right. I shouldn’t have posted it. Not an excuse, but I’m tired of losing good friends and students to accidents because the syllabus requires an event that’s no longer done in the CAF.

DEVIL Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 A friend of mine in white jets told me DLF is at 75% or more FAIPs…is this true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 87th was about ~65% FAIP when I went TDY there back in 2020 to help augment their manning for a few weeks…so it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s accurate, especially now with the airlines hiring again.

M2 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/43357/t-38-jets-in-recent-fatal-crash-were-executing-a-formation-approach-report "Two T-38 Talon jet trainers that were involved in a fatal accident last month at Laughlin Air Force Base in Texas were performing a formation approach at the time, according to a report from the San Antonio Express-News newspaper. The Air Force has also now confirmed to The War Zone that Colonel Nathan Thompson, the second in command of the 47th Flying Training Wing, the main unit at Laughlin, was in one of the jets at the time. T-38 pilots assigned to Air Education and Training Command units, such as the 47th, have been banned from conducting formation landings, a similar maneuver, in virtually all situations in the wake of a different deadly mishap two years ago."
