I can't remember that happening in quite a while. Gucci assignment, hopefully they get a good follow on.

That slides title font is really something to behold; I’m surprised they didn’t use Wingdings...

How do drops work these days with the new class structure?

Anybody have access to old UPT syllabi? Trying to track down a copy of the one that would have been in place when I went through KCBM as a student in 2011-2012.

Question for the audience from a lowly T-1 stud - are the last drops of the year better or worse on average? FAIPs are saying it’s gonna be fire. Last drop of FY20 scheduled to be Aug 20 for classes 20-22/23

They're average.  Personally never noticed any big swing one way or the other.

My class was the last of the fiscal year, and I remember us frantically trying to figure out what exactly that meant.  Our's wasn't great in the T-38 side, but the T-1 guys got a fair number of good deals.  After watching drops at a UPT base for five years, it doesn't matter, it's all smoke and mirrors.   We've tried to look at it from every angle, to include some guys with PhDs from Rand with a little too much time on their hands trying to crack the code if you will, and the only trend is a the lack of a trend.  Some classes have a great drop, others are terrible three weeks later. All luck and timing.  Prepare for every flight like it'll make the difference, throw in your dream sheet and see what happens.

Are T-38s and T-1s dropping together or separate now?

I’d be hard pressed to find a T-1 stud that tracked a F-35 or F-15E in those drops 😉

Yeah...but 2 fighters (well, kind of) over 2 classes and 2 bases...ouch.

Guys at Randolph are your best bet, but in case no one else answers, here's one from 2004. https://web.archive.org/web/20120329111254/https://www.t6driver.com/jsupt/jppt_jsupt_syllabus.pdf

If CBM has a historian he/she should be able to track it down.

Not sure if bases are keeping historians around anymore or not.

38s at Vance have been dropping with the T-1s in an 'on again, off again' fashion.  Just depends on how far behind they are at any given point in time.

Slightly off topic question, are zaps still a thing? I feel like I don't see too many new ones around in the last few years.

I once put a sticker on a random, abandoned, small end table in the T6/T38 squadron building. About 4 months later they created a some kind of waiting room in the sim building and used that table. Our SRO got a talking for people vandalizing and zapping inappropriate locations. Seems like it isn't really worth dealing with the hassle anymore .

F that keep zapping shit
