  1. https://www.defensenews.com/news/your-military/2019/10/11/f-15s-air-defense-systems-and-thousands-of-us-troops-heading-to-saudi-arabia/ Cliffs: An Air Expeditionary Wing, 2 Fighter Squadrons, 2 Patriot Batteries, and a THAAD battery. Got to make some more 179s/365s/2 year accompanied requirements
  2. Yes that’s possible, although unlikely. A T-38 stud is most likely to get fighters, FAIP, then bombers, and finally a CAF heavy ISR asset.
  3. House for rent. https://www.ahrn.com/military-housing/House-4-bed-2-bath-Enid-OK-73703_1_12782616?fbclid=IwAR3A_tfUZfuKO9rjOUvV0gvrO1jsVY68lDV_pipRA3baqPv_17o7sbJ00DA
  4. All these UPT IPs will be great at teaching C-172 and C-208s in Afghanistan again.
  5. The T-6A added ADS-B out that integrates with existing avionics. Nothing else was updated. T-6As have all been modded for years with TAS (TA only, no RA) which displays on the VVI instrument display. NACWS went the way of the DODO. T-38Cs are being modded with ADS-B with a WAAS GPS that is additive to the EGI solution. No idea if Boeing will add LPV capes. As for the hardware though, it isn’t certified by the FAA yet so they currently are required to be turned off.
  6. Yes you do. It’s on the course entry requirements for the T-38 PIT syllabus. The only exception is if you are a T-6 IP. T-38 SUPT/ENJJPT/FWQ graduate and have fighter / bomber experience or have previous T-38 IP experience. (a) Single pilot aircraft candidates must have achieved mission-qualified and certified as at least a two- ship lead in that aircraft. Note: Candidates with a previous T-6A UPT/PIT IP tour meet this requirement. (b) Those candidates from other aircraft must have achieved aircraft commander (AC) status with a minimum of 100 hours as primary AC. Note: Candidates with a previous T-6A UPT/PIT IP tour meet this requirement.
  7. LM is trying to sell the MRTT to the US. https://news.lockheedmartin.com/2019-06-20-Lockheed-Martin-and-Airbus-reaffirm-tanker-partnership-at-2019-Paris-Air-Show
  8. I don't PA my students in T-38s, I know T-6s waive/PA post T-38 track select formation sorties all the time. Even then, we still get the studs late.
  9. Randolph has B models for Det 24. The AF borrowed them saying they would fix them.
  10. When incidents in a GA airplane that's part of an aero club counts against the wing commander's safety record.
  11. It won't. There's a drop-down for your rater to sign for you that says member refused to sign
  12. Yes. They are denying waivers for non-fighter/bomber now. It's happened to at least one person who was pulled after starting sims
  13. There is an AD FTU squadron attached as an active associate.
  14. I would also like a $150K per year bonus tax free that only drives a 1 year ADSC. I could get a lot of a certain Ford pick up truck for that amount of cash.
  15. PV promotions have to be leveled based off overgrades on the UMD and they are based off billet type, AGR/TR/ART, etc... Early pin on is something that still has to be requested from ARPC/whoever, but it's usually approved
  16. For what it's worth, an IP going off the runway in a T-6 after taking the aircraft from a SP on a TG happened at CBM in 2015ish. I don't know if he was Q3'd. Unfortunately it sounds like you have a new frame of reference. SP does anything wrong, take the aircraft. You'll be the IP no student wants to fly with, but you won't get another Q3.
  17. Keep it going, the descent into madness is beginning!
  18. Was Slife the pilot on the CV-22?
  19. This seems pretty small potatoes especially in the world of "fly what you can, log what you need."
  20. It has to be Rand. He brought the 4th star from AETC
  21. I don't think getting rid of 4th Gen assets meets the intent of The Air Force We Need.
  22. You can only log PIC during UPT if you are solo. This is in relation to airlines, which is the only reason you would need pic
