How many 11Fs are still in AFSOC?

The “Afghanistan Security Forces Funds” is really just our taxpayer dollars which means it is a DoD acquisition program...so probably like 20 airplanes.

It’s SOF airlift...not much of a secret. If you’re wanting to know more, find someone in the squadron and talk offline.

Quick thread revival, get em while they are hot... https://www.tee-amazing.com/toyotee-2

...or the SOF CAS mission.

20 is better than 0. You know damn well that small fleet doesn’t mean small global impact.

T-38 drop was same as previous — substitute 38 FAIP for T-6 FAIP.

So the FAA is removing centerline thrust restrictions for mil pilots (every AF pilot in recent history save for UPT-H) while the Air Force has imposed ADSC sanctions for things like in-unit requals? How much clearer can the writing on the wall get... Thanks for posting!

Link is broken for me on mobile. Also, the google machine didn’t return any 2018 results with title similarity.

Wouldn’t be an aviation forum without people going full rage mode with notional or incomplete data.

SOS = bqzip’s mom?

For fvcks sake, quit with the melodramatic bullshit. You act like the end of modern aviation is at hand because an experiment in training modernization is ongoing. Have some faith in the FTU IPs to keep these dudes safe and provide them the instruction they need.

Unnecessary, extraneous interplane chatter as far as I’m concerned. I’d rather spend that dead-air time talking about something meaningful like what kind of hot pockets the crew is whipping up.

Memes. Not that anybody gives a shit about my opinion, but I think a space force is appropriate. The future will be interesting, better to get our force structured now than to be reactive after the fact.

Memes.

We will just ignore the entire AC-130/KC-130 mission as well as the MQ-1 and MQ-9.

AAT mainly, but I revert to other “inside the jet” crutches like heading bug when it’s inop.

Teaching T-38 students tactical formation even though I’m not an 11F. It is either that or airborne quarterbacking closehold missions in places that Americans don’t belong at.

Copy, 11F not required to instruct T-38s.

Who gives a shit what you flew before? T-38 tac form has probably been the same for two decades. It doesn’t take an 11F to teach what LAB, 4-6k and stack level looks like. I think some 11F representation in the SUPT T-38 squadron is valuable, but why not drop those guys into IFF instructor seats or B course billets?

Let’s not get carried away now. The AF controls your destiny, you only think you do.

Can’t disagree with you there either, cheers.

...but who in their right mind would throw away the opportunity to fly the T-38 when the drop pool increases? I am not the type of dude to bag on the T-1, but I’m SURE it’s not nearly as fun or rewarding to fly. Don’t listen to people who tell you to track T-1 regardless of intent...you will most likely regret it in the future and spend every waking moment telling your friends/family how you could have gone T-38 if you wanted but chose not to even though you are a young Bob Hoover.

Regardless of the flavor of pilot training, try to end up in the T-38. If you go to Sheppard, this obviously happens automatically. Regarding ENJJPT vs SUPT for AFSOC follow- on: I wouldn’t focus on that aspect exclusively at this point because either one can take you to that promise land.

Article must be fake news, he doesn’t look like Magic.
