CBM B-52 from T1s was a special situation mil-mil marriage that had to go wayyyy up the chain to get approved, but it shows they are willing to start considering that. 

I think one of the FAIPs was T-1s.

Was a pretty good drop overall, seriously nothing to complain about from any of those studs.

FWIW: IFF just graduated the largest class ever (15) yesterday, and there are two more classes right behind them the same size. While this should have happened a long time ago, change is happening.

They need it. The latest rumor is all 38 trained FAIPs will see a pointy nose, no bombers for those guys.

I heard all 38 FAIPs were getting Bombers to help out that community so that the younger FreshoutaUPT kids still have 10 year sentences...er... commitments in fighters...

What were they thinking?  T-1s are no place to prepare new pilots for a large airplane or the CRM that goes with it.

I agree that bombers should come out of the T-1 pipeline as well, I'd imagine they would be fought over.  I bet big blue just sees the T-38 grads as future T-38 instructors though, just my view from the peanut gallery.

Buff FAIP drop? Geez, did that guy/gal piss off leadership?  

Why would they give him a bomber when we're desperate to fill fighter cockpits?

any rumors/explanations on why he got the shaft?   This doesn't sound like "luck of the draw"

I'm sure the blue talking point will be somewhere along the line of, "We need good dudes in every community."  This is true, but if he was such a good dude, there is a skeleton there somewhere not many know about, thats usually how it works.

Not sure about this particular guy but "We need good dudes in every community." has been the prevailing excuse from the 3 Star. One of the WG/CVs called up and asked why so many bombers for FAIPs if we are so short of 11Fs and every student with a pulse is getting a Viper.

It's better to know when your younger how fvcked up AF people management is rather than after you've invested considerable time.

No skeletons. If that were the case i could understand it. 

Even back to pilot training class, yes, I've seen it go that far.
