Lockjaw, could you please cite where you read that there was a CSAR replacement study coming out in September. I'm sure I'm not the only one on this forum who would be interested in following that up. Thanks.

Fat and loud with 3 hard shafts hanging off her?

XL 10-03 It wasn't clear if anybody was guard or reserve, but this is how it went down. 5x T-38 5x T-44 1x UH-1 Rest T-1 I guess we know where all of the 44's went.

A buddy of mine was getting away with being a backup linebacker for the Miami hurricanes for a few hours while bar hopping in Austin a few years back...until we ran into the REAL University of Texas Defense in a bar and a chick asked if them if we knew each other. We left that bar quickly. But remember, if you're ever backed into a corner, "SpecOps fighter pilot" always gets the job done.

So how do you guys interpret Gates' comments about a "joint" solution. Do you think that he is hoping to strip the AF of it's CSAR capabilities or rather to find an airframe that all the services can use, like the F-35? It is sounding a bit to me like he wants to give all SAR missions to the Army. Also, what is the story with the HH-60M? Is this a viable replacement for the G models assuming that we're allowed to keep the rescue mission?

XL 10-02 (my class) 4 x T-38 (plus one international) 2 x T-44 1 x UH-1 ( plus one ANG ) 11 x T-1 (plus one reserve)

This quote stuck out to me. A true example of service above self. In 1963, Novosel was working as a commercial airline pilot when a deep sense of patriotism called him to return to active military duty. By then, he was 42 and the Air Force did not have space for any more officers in the upper ranks. It was then that Novosel made the decision to give up his rank of lieutenant colonel in the Air Force to join the Army and fly helicopters as a chief warrant officer with the elite Special Forces Aviation Section. He served his first tour in Vietnam flying medevac helicopters (Dustoff) with the 283rd Medical Detachment. His second tour in Vietnam was with the 82nd Medical Detachment. During that war, Novosel flew 2,543 missions and extracted 5,589 wounded personnel

Threat revival for a quick question. What are the deployments looking like for the '60s these days? I'm tracking in a few days and still making up my mind.

Not my class but since nobody else has posted. XL 10-01 Active Duty 4 T-38s 2 T-44s (one reserve) 1 UH-1 Rest tones.

Yeah, probably shouldn't have let them land in retrospect.

Discovered by the Germans in 1903...I believe it translates roughly to "A whale's Vagina".

XL 09-15 Track Select Active Duty T-38 - 3 T-44 - 3 UH-1 - 1 The rest were T-1s and guard and reserve. Overall a pretty good track. Most people got first or second choices. Congrats guys.

"and unlike the A380, there are no restrictions on what goes on in your cabin." WTF?

XL 09-14 Active Duty 3 T-44 2 T-38 2 UH-1 The rest were Tones

I have a theory that just about everybody flying for the AF has thought that they wanted fighters at one point or another. Phase 2 does a great job of making up your mind one way or the other. I personally was very gung ho fighters for YEARS, but now that i'm a few weeks away from track I want to fly herks. Funny how that happens. The story is the same for most of my class. Those that still want fighters have always wanted them, those that don't probably did at one point along the way. Granted there are a few that will tell you that they're heavy dudes through and through and that they've never wanted to fly anything pointy, but in my limited experience they're somewhat rare. Just do your best, keep your options open and don't decide anything until after formation solo. Good luck.

I was shown this trailer today. It looks like it could be a worthwhile movie.

Actually...It has to do with the desire to EXPRESS yourself. You DO want to express yourself don't you? Brian over there, has on THIRTY SEVEN pieces of flare, and a great smile to boot....

Maybe I spoke too soon. It looks like it works for this dude... and these two are sporting something similar as well...

I would advise against doing any such thing, and instead recommend that you take the time you've spent seeking an answer online to either: A) Go buy a new pair of pants B) Ask a friend to borrow a pair of pants C) Do anything BUT wear your horrible polyester blue things in public in anything other than a complete uniform Just my opinion.

XL 09-04 Didn't keep good track of the list, but I can report that there was nothing pointy. 2 FAIPs, 2 NSA, a MC-12 and maybe a pred from the '38 side. As a current phase II student, I can report that I'm witnessing a rapid decrease in the T-38 appeal across the board.

Second hand info, but...I know of a guy who swtiched from C-17s to B-2s. Apparently it can happen. B-2's seem to be a special case. I'm certain somebody on this forum knows more about this than I do.

Are those SPWINGS I see? Yep... that sounds about right. Swallow my balls douchehat spwings.bmp

I just read the wikipedia article on "AFGSC". Sounds like they will control all Buffs and B-2's. I didn't see it explained how these assets would be tasked for conventional sorties (seem much more likely). It also didn't mention the Bone. How does it fit into all of this?
