No. Never have. Never will. As for inter-service transfers to the U-2, yes,... we've had a few in the last 6 months.

On the contrary. Mr Armstrong was simply an introvert.

So, do any of you have "the list" of approved green flight boots? Is Converse ok? Tactical Research? And do any of you have recent experience and preferences with any of the approved flight boots that haven't been discussed on this thread?

It's kind of like having that weird uncle in your family. You don't want anyone to know you're actually related to them.

Yes, we have a fair number of former fighter/attack/bomber pilots... as well as every other community. However, the wheels fell of the bus, with respect to fighter pilot manning,... and the fighter porch says they need every single body. I have received a lot of calls from 11F's that are trying to get to the U-2, but cannot do it. A brief list of the pilot backgrounds we have is as follows: A-10, F-14, F-15C, F-15E, F-16, F-18, F-117, B-1, B-2, B-52, S-3, KC-135, RC-135, C-5, C-9, C-12, MC-12, C-17, C-21, C-130, E-3, P-3, E-8, RQ-4, U-28, T-1, TA-4, T-6, T-34, T-37, T/AT-38, T-45, Cobra, Huey, Phrog, Blackhawk. What?? I thought the 'J' makes a 'hhh' sound,... and a 'H' is silent. Very confusing.

So far, yes. AFPC will not entertain fighter pilots, B-2 and B-52 pilots, AFSOC (possibly some exceptions here), and no Guard/Reserve. I'll post when/if it changes.

You sound surprised. Haven't you ever gone to the Wing Staff Meeting? Or quarterly FOD council?

What?? I thought it was Aviation Induced Divorce Syndrome. That's the disease I've been fighting.

Coming from someone named "Spoo", this is quite funny.

Give it <72 more hours. Just the start. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I believe things are about to get ugly... in the very near future.

"Me also" works too, as an alternative. For the A-10 community, is it "Hog", "Hawg", or "Jahgg"?

Possibly, you could stay. However, we have a requirement that you can spell "U", "two", and "deuce" correctly.

Really? Were you an English major?

Which base?

That's a lot of detail you have there. Do you know there's a Shift key?

Whatever. I'll tell you this: she's no Kuma.

When she earned her wings, she was already in the rotor phase. So, I'm guessing #1 (of 5??) in her student-helo-UPT class.

Hip. Cobalt-chromium.

This still hasn't happened for me. It's part of the reason I left the airlines, and returned to active duty. My loss, I guess.

Yes there are! First time I saw one fly was Pt Mugu Airshow in 2010. Watching it crank up to leave was cool. It's a Wright piston engine that powers it. A great piece of history.

No. Put yourself in timeout.

Cap-10, The OP was referring to the glider aerobatics, not powered.

You don't necessarily need the flight time to get a high AFOQT score. I took ground school my senior year in high school (it was actually a class taught at my high school), and despite no flying time, I scored a 99 on both the pilot and nav portion. But seeing as you are an Aggie,... - I recommend you take ground school twice. - See if Gleim on King has a study workbook that you can color.
