It’s called IPT and is part of FUPT which is the AETC/a5/8s brain child. It’s the whole plan of t-7s for everyone

 

col or general leard

Are they really trying to have everyone go T-7s? So it’s back to how it used to be then. Are they going to take T-6/T-1 IPs and eventually train them on the T-7 as well?

The whole everyone flying T-7s is a long way out. 
 

T-1 IPs will not fly T-7s because it makes absolutely no sense and no one will be in a T-1 billet by the time it’s opened to non-T-38 trained pilots.

 

Not to mention it’s a type 1 high G aircraft so it needs a full up fuge profile and people are going to be going night night.

 

 

Other than AFOTEC folks: the 19 AF IOT&E initial cadre are all fighter bubbas because that’s what’s needed.

 

Edit 2: And yes there will eventually be some T-1 trained pilots in the 99th and other places. But that will be rarity. It will be for shiny pennies or test cases

Thanks for the explanation! Definitely interesting to see what happens with all this.

Mostly gee-whiz/thread derail, but:

Any reason why the T-7 is subsonic?  Is there still DT/OT wickets to clear?

It will be tested above 1.0 but the USAF didn’t pay for it to be certified so the placard limit will be below it.

 

it was a desired not required part of the contract.

 

If we pay Boeing they will magic wand make it supersonic.
