  1. In current UPT: Sim Check, Trans Check, Nav Check T-38 tracked studs do a form check T-38s: Trans, Nav, Form No idea for Toners Legacy syllabus had a: Mid-Phase, Final Contact, Inst, Form. So only T-1 studs get less T-6 checkrides
  2. Do a PALACE Acquire program.
  3. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/coronavirus-wuhan-lab-china-compete-us-sources Cliffs: China was experimenting on SARS-CoV-2 for research not as a bioweapon. It escaped containment at the Wuhan Lab. The Chinese went full Chinese and lied and covered it up so it spread.
  4. So what is the desired outcome now that we’ve ramped medical supply production and flattened the curve? We don’t have a vaccine. That means at least 80%* of the population needs to become infected to develop her immunity. Places that don’t have subways or huge events like Mardi Gras are less likely to spread. *Unsure if 80% is the precise number.
  5. You’re both talking about the same area.
  6. Name that commander.
  7. On another note, I want to get into GA this year. I’m eagerly watching the market this fall especially if MOSAIC is put into rules.
  8. Thought of building a Sling TSi?
  9. And just a reminder you are just an expendable number.
  10. Good luck to all. It seems like only yesterday you were debriefing me on TP stalls and poor tac turns.
  11. And? As long as there aren’t training camps
  12. Det 24 is at Randolph. No idea who owns the billets for PTN, whether AFPC/White jets or AETC/Illuminati.
  13. This is based off everything I’ve read; but, a mistake isn’t an intentional deviation. And yes, that is worthy of firing a commander, because if it’s kosher to lie to your boss’s boss about your intentions then you have a problem. The big gotcha here is the alleged briefing. If it was “just do a flyby” there would be shades od gray. This wasnt.
  14. If the 350 kt and 600’ briefing is true, I can completely understand the firing. A 150kt and 400’ delta is a big ass intentional deviation. The former CO also didn’t do himself any favors with this comment. Now I’ve never done a Marine flyover but Id imagine tower/rapcon deconflicts traffic. Not to mention when I have a traffic conflict my first thought is, yea I’ll speed up a 100+ kts and drop to the deck. “ “We had landing traffic,” Featherstone said. “We had to de-conflict from that and felt sandwiched in a little bit.” According to Featherstone, who was in the rear seat and not flying the aircraft, his attention was on the aircraft that was landing and not on where his pilot was flying. “I can’t tell you why the pilot descended.” he said. “Obviously I’m unhappy with the way this turned out, but, as commander I’m ultimately responsible. If deemed outside the box, I’m responsible.” https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/military/story/2020-01-31/video-this-f-a-18-flyover-cost-a-miramar-squadron-commander-his-job-and-likely-his-career
  15. More like 20% UPT at worst
  16. UPT 2.5 will be taught by the PIT squadrons. PTN is taught by Det 24 on the T-6 side.
  17. https://www.columbus.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/1577434/colonel-derek-s-stuart/ Colonel Stuart is a Command Pilot with more than 3,200 flying hours in the C-17, C-141, T-6, and T-37. He has flown combat missions in operations Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, Northern Watch, Southern Watch and Allied Force.
  18. More of a fan of 7-77 months
  19. Edit: So is the 150 SOW/CC saying that fancy box checking does not actually make the best qualified? I ask because her bio makes it seem like she was a DSG at Moffett.
  20. Or 8-7 months ago?
  21. A toast
  22. All the innovations/best practices from PTN/UPT bases will be baked into the syllabus. It won’t be an ad hoc construct and things won’t be waived for timeline.
  23. Free because AFE buys them
