brabus Posted July 12 Posted July 12 Apparently not in that class, but the Viper will be a thing for 20 more years, as of current plans.

Willing to bet they’ll find their ops unit after they finish initial qual. We started doing the same thing at Kirtland. We did it because practically nobody wants to go to Cannon, so students were shying away from those drops. No idea if it’s a similar thought process, or it some staff Bob decided it would somehow promote synergistic effects in a perfect world.

I could understand the -135 since who wants to go to McConnnell? In the C-17 world Altus is the worst base for that community, flying wise. They have Hickman, Charleston, McChord, Travis, Elmendorf, McGuire, Dover, etc. Edited 4 hours ago by Sua Sponte 1

Flying a hands-on aircraft for a few years then switching to another MWS (assuming they cancel the mission) doesn't sound too bad (once again if the Lt doesn't care about making rank).
Arkbird Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Yeah they're making the heavy guys find out their ops unit after the FTU now. Recent change.
Magic24 Posted 32 minutes ago Posted 32 minutes ago OA-1K drops are to OKANG studs so they know what they’re getting! Not available to AD yet.
