No. 561st does tactics (AFTTP 3-1 and 3-3). This is the flight manuals. Dash 1, Dash 34, etc.

Lockheed Martin is hiring an F-16 Flight Manual Manager to the team at Hill AFB. If you or anyone you know might be interested, and you aren't going to the airlines, please consider applying! LM Aero is a great company to work for and the work environment and team at the F-16 SPO are top notch! PM me if you have any questions. You don't need to have F-16 experience (though it would be great if you did!), but you do have to be aircrew. https://www.lockheedmartinjobs.com/job/hill-air-force-base/f-16-flight-manual-manager/694/14369192?fbclid=IwAR1NKFDcEoO-0cWDep4KYV8TuXhqkCg2GYQK2__08C1VKRUUZHFO4yOCiAw

there's already a program of record called Gray Wolf. I'm sure there will be no confusion there...

the track surface at COTA looked atrocious on TV. Hopefully they started the resurfacing effort about an hour after the F1 race ended... Hamilton's my boy, I think Ferrari are idiots with how the run their drivers and suck at strategy, I hope Albon does well at Red Bull, I feel sorry for Ricciardo and hope Renault make a good show next year, and WTF happened to Williams in the last few years? Oh, and I don't think Nico Rosberg is a great driver - he only won because of the superior Merc equipment and some unluckiness on Lewis' part. I also think Haas made a mistake in keeping Grosjean in a seat. He needs to go.

It was only for 24 hrs. Yawn.

@Skitzo, don't cross train to helos, it'll make the back and neck issues worse due to the poor ergonomics + NVGs + body armor.

can confirm. Had numbness in little and ring finger of left hand for about 6 weeks after dislocating my left elbow. I don't recommend dislocating your elbow.

@PilotWife2 how are refi rates looking on 15 yr VA loans? I'm currently 2.7 yrs into a 30 yr VA loan from you at 3.75%. Wondering if it makes more sense to refi on a 15 yr vs sell back the 2.7 yrs I'm already into the 30 yr.

I have KIO and RTB at least four times in my career due to environmental conditions, during training. So our ORM went high, and we decided it wasn't worth the squeeze. One time it was about 3 minutes after takeoff, with the SQ/DO sitting in the other seat. In combat, I've definitely upchanneled things due to High ORM to get approval to launch, or in one case, approval to continue after launching.

As the F-16 FMM and TOMA, the answer is no. 😉

check out Cevians, their VKK filter is bonded to the screen (but it's pricey).

I also had a great experience 2 years ago with Amy at NBKC. No hiccups at all moving to Utah.

I'm sure the entire Fighter/Bomber Directorate is being told to evaluate it. I can't speak to trainers, but yes, that reasoning would make sense, since the MAF pilots would theoretically PCS in without bags.

I can report that it's being evaluated for airworthiness in at least one ejection seat MDS.

Dothan is the biggest town in the area, but it's a half hour away. Most folks live in Enterprise. I've lived in both Ozark and Enterprise, and would put Enterprise above any other nearby surrounding towns.

according to this article, all their remaining Block 15s are MLU (except for the Jordanian once they recently acquired). https://www.f-16.net/f-16_users_article14.html

what defines a "certified" sim? Certified in the eyes of the FAA? Level D only? ? ? ? In my MDS, our sims were not Level D, not certified by the FAA, even though two of the three have motion.

vis only down to 1/4 mi here. cough...cough...

typically, you'll stay in a flying gig until you hit your gate months. Then it's a crap shoot.

60s are at Moody, Nellis, DM, Kadena, Aviano, and Kirtland (Kirtland being the schoolhouse). ANG opportinuties in CA, AK, NM, and NY. AFRES opportunities at DM and Patrick. DM = Davis-Monthan AFB. SOS (Squadron Officers School) is for Capts. ACSC (Air Command and Staff College) is for Majs. AWC (Air War College) is for LtCols. They are either accomplished via corresponence, or at Maxwell (and there are some joint opportunities).

I think you're mis-reading. He's talking about the companion/adversary jets at certain bases (T-38As). U-2, B-2, and F-22 bases all have these aircraft for different functions (I think it's companion for U-2/B-2 and adversary for F-22).

At least, within 3500 ft... Too soon?

We were in AFSOC before. Sort of. The reason we left was because of the CSAR-X shit hook debacle, essentially Gen Brown tried to hijack us and drive the selection to the shit hook. COMACC saw the writing on the wall and yanked us back to ACC. But, the 55 SOS existed in AFSOC ok.

Wow. Damn.

@17D_guy, since AMRDEC just bit it, are there any AF solutions out there which can be leveraged to share large files across to users around the world securely? Also, someone needs to un-fuck the PII tool so that it doesn't think attached emails have SSNs in them! It also keys on aircraft part numbers with long strings of alpha-numeric characters. When the tool runs, there needs to be a way for us to tell said tool that no, those part numbers are NOT PII. This is a huge issue now that AMRDEC is down and may never come back up.
