Buddy Spike Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 In how the Viper is being used in today's war, I'll use the capes of Link/CCIP long before I'll ever use the ability to track an enemy a/c under my pipper, and I'd much rather train in the same aircraft I'm going to fly if I make it to the CAF. You disagree? I do disagree somewhat, but my original comment was just a friendly jab at how the mighty Block 42 is keeping you guys on the timeline. As for Link/CCIP. That's great, but it's nice having the basic foundations set without dependence on that stuff. Having to actually look outside may suck at first, but I think it'll pay dividends later with overall SA (or when the link fails). It's like a lot of things we do that we may not get to use. Hell, the new syllabus gets rid of pops/conventional deliveries in the SAT phase and makes it exclusively GBU-12/38 work. It may be more realistic to what we do now, but I'm glad I got that basic foundation first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EN_GRAD Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Does anyone from Luke know what is causing the delay in the training pipeline for students waiting to start RTU? I graduated from pilot training in April 08 and don’t start at Luke until Sep 09. Holy balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brabus Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Just got a RIP to start May 09...graduated Jan 08. Yeah it sucks, but as long as I make it to Luke and get to fly a Viper, I'll still be pretty damn happy. A lot better than other alternatives if you ask me.
