Ah, the ol' Cooper-Harper scale...

When we were staffing the program recommendation for the TR-1 (U-2 airframes for EUCOM's tactical mission) back in the late 70s/early 80s we had quite a bit of coordination effort related to this. Eventually we had to get a waiver from the Secretary of the Air Force to allow the TR-1 program to proceed. If I recall correctly, the U-2 is a 7 or 8 on the scale, thus technically not acceptable to produce or fly operationally. I recall a couple of days when I agreed with that assessment!!

I think we should bring this program back!

Which one:

1. U-2s on a carrier?

2. Or keeping an eye on the French?

I've heard rumors that they are going to get a different A/C to stay current due to the aging T38As. Any truth to this?

I heard that since companion trainers are so old and expensive, they'll just log currency recce hours in the co-located RQ-4.

No.

Put yourself in timeout.

I've heard that they're going to start flying gliders and doing aerobatics in IMC, to make their resumes more legit.

I heard that since your mom is so old and expensive, your dad just logs currency hours in the co-located pool boy.

My old college friend is an editor at Motor Trend and they are interested in doing a story on the new Camaro chase cars Beale is purchasing. He was wondering if you guys have any contacts for this that could get the ball rolling. He says, and I quote "If it helps, the video host we'd send is hot."

If you don't want to post the info publicly, you can PM me.

Man or woman?

Huggy's a good place to start.

If a FAIP was picked up to fly the Duece, is it possible to make a career out of it and remain in the community? Or is it more likely he would have to find another MWS after 3 years?

Absolutely you can make a career out of it. I'm a former T-38 FAIP doing just that. And I am not alone. There are quite a few of us, Huggy included.

Possibly, you could stay.

However, we have a requirement that you can spell "U", "two", and "deuce" correctly.

You too. Is that right?

Good thing the A-10 community has no such rule.

But that's because A-10 community is ridiculed around the globe for being the worst in the world at their job...so the standards can stay pretty low.

"Me also" works too, as an alternative.

For the A-10 community, is it "Hog", "Hawg", or "Jahgg"?

Well that certainly explains why the Army thinks they should own them.

Ouch.

If you're truly interested, then I recommend you read the previous 16 pages of posts. AFTER you read those, and go here: https://www.beale.af....eet.asp?id=5077, PM me or Huggy if you still have questions.

" AFPC will not allow us to interview any fighter/bomber coded pilots for the time being."

Is this still the case?

So far, yes. AFPC will not entertain fighter pilots, B-2 and B-52 pilots, AFSOC (possibly some exceptions here), and no Guard/Reserve.

I'll post when/if it changes.

Just remember that the "J" is silent...

Really? I would think that quite a few fighter dudes make up a decent portion of the U-2 cadre...I guess that's not the case? Any reason in particular these guys can't apply right now?
