CFI (Certified Flight Instructor) info
$200? Seems pretty high. Maybe I don't understand the issue, but at some point, you'll leave military flying and might have to take the CFI refresher every 2 years. Just sign up now, and do the American Flyers. It's a one time fee of $99, and you're done. Additionally, they will do your renewal for $25... not $200. I live 30 miles from my FSDO. The 60 mile roundtrip... have to make an appointment.... do the paperwork... etc... makes this $25 fee a no-brainer. So sure... you can go through the thrash of using your military IP creds to renew... or save yourself a lot of time and effort and just do it online.

Fighter Aces Awarded Congressional Gold Medal
https://www.militarytimes.com/story/veterans/2015/05/21/fighter-aces-awarded-congressional-gold-medal/27702791/ I went to DC for this, and ended up flying two Navy Aces to the event. It was an incredible 3 days. The stories were fantastic. And a few of them stayed in the bar late with me. Every penny of my bar tab was well spent.

U-2 Dragonlady info
El piloto, 3 years from your U-2 qual. Which is about 8 months after you arrive at Beale. So, based on what you have typed, you will extend your ADSC by about 2 years. Most of these questions can be answered by the U-2 Recruiting office: 530.634.4447.

Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate
I believe it is a poor idea not to get your ATP. It is a professional credential. Professional pilots should have these type of credentials. There are many other flying jobs out there besides the airlines where having an ATP will help. Plus... $1500 really isn't that much money in the big scheme of things. And maybe you'll actually enjoy the flying to get the ATP.

If you spoke to Beale (Shooter, probably) and AFPC, there is no one on this forum that is going to give you any better updates.

Why don't you call Beale and ask?

Not to worry, Karl. I've black-balled you.

Oshkosh 2015
Apologies. I came across as a rude. That year was a significant change for military displays, and I know most everyone was caught up in it.

You do recall there was this thing call "sequestration" last year, right?

Shhhh...Don't talk about the A-10
For a brief time around 2004, this was the plan being strongly considered by AETC HQ.

Steve, Didn't the early prototypes have Douglas seats? I doubt those were M-Bs.

Replacement to the T-38
I've known a few guys that successfully did the crossflow. But I'm guessing I'm missing your point. I applied to the crossflow but lost out to a B-52 guy. He went to Strike Eagles, and did quite well.

I believe your plan is pretty solid. Now, you just need to execute it.
