The comparison doesn't work, as the dolphin doesn't have to cycle power to its sonar when it malfunctions.

Valid, a dolphin's advertised capabilities are much more reliable and effective.

Yeah but sometimes they try to screw the human that's working with them.

No different than a room full of LockMart engineers.

I know C model drops don't happen too often for AD guys, but when they do, what are the PCS options? I know of the Oki/LN squadrons, but nothing beyond that on the Active side of the house. IP back at Klamath Falls? Attachment to Guard/Reserve components? Just a noob trying to gain some SA.

Out of Klamath you'll go to either Lakenheath or Kadena (haven't heard of any TFI to a Guard unit that Viper guys get occasionally).  After that, most of my bros either IPCOT (stayed out in Kadena and switched squadrons), went to Lakenheath, or went to another airframe (Raptor, IFF/UPT, etc).  However, a couple guys did go to Klamath to be IP's as they now have an AD Det there.

Perfect! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the info!

I know a couple of C model guys that are TFI to guard units. The word I got from one of the dudes is that the TFI gig may become more commonplace. Whether that's accurate or not idk.

Saw that an F-35 dropped at Vance this past Friday

END 16-08

T-38s:

F-16 x2

That would make two because DLF dropped one as well.

Yup, F-35 out of Vance.  Had General Pleus here recently and he mentioned that there would be a few in upcoming drops.  It's interesting to see them dropping finally.  Rumor has it the first F-35 B-Course will be 4 FAIP's and 4 UPT grads, so I guess that leaves Sheppard left to drop theirs.

The KC-135 (March Reserves) was an old troop of mine (former -135 Boom). Congrats!

I am afraid my memory drops off beyond that.

 

Rough drop for the T-38 studs this time around it seems, considering the 'fighter pilot shortage'. Likely any shortage that exists will only get worse.
