Do T-6 FAIPs go onto heavies now, or is it where they could track T-38s after their FAIP tour? Civilian here, just pure curiosity as to how assignments work currently out of USAF UPT.

brabus Posted June 29 Posted June 29 Makes sense they wouldn’t have a releasable AIB for security reasons in some cases.

AMC has had SIB’s the AMC/CC elected to have a CDI instead of an AIB because they didn’t want certain “evidence” to become public.

I do have some inside info, a sim site manager is being hired at the end of this year, instructors spinning up in 2026, and they should start getting their jets around then. Look at UPT drops to be 2029-2030 (I thought it would be less than that). 1

March, MacDill, and Selfridge are the near rocks.

He may not be happy but at least he'll have a few hours in a jet prior to learning to fly an air force mission. Besides; it could be worse, he could have dropped a UAV or KC-46.

Ok, Thank You! On the heavy side of the house, do T-6 FAIPs that are assigned directly from the T-6 training go onto the T-1 sim then to their FAIP assignment, or is it straight UPT>IP Training>FAIP Assignment?

Yes it's the latter, non-T38 T6 FAIPS go from UPT T6s -> PIT -> FAIP tour -> straight to heavy FTU. No kind of T1 training exists for anyone anymore And everything is still the same for T38-trained T6 FAIPs going to fighters. Since IFF is going away, new ones will do UPT T6s -> FBF (combined T38 UPT & IFF) -> T6 PIT -> T6 FAIP tour -> short T38 spinup -> B-Course Edited July 7 by Punk Spelling, clarification 1
