Champ Kind Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Revival: Anyone have an updated listing of exchange pilot opportunities? Previously mentioned links/sites are outdated. Thanks!

Fighter porch gets the list...but I was also able to look on AMS several months out to see what types are out there...doesn't mean that it will show up on the VML however. I know of the following F-16 PEP (exchange jobs) in Europe: Holland/Denmark/Italy/Portugal/Norway....I might have missed a couple. Of course there are other jobs that are open to other airframes (i.e. UK harrier/French Mirage/German Tornado, etc)

Dupe Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 One PEP trend I've noticed: Every exchange RAF guy over here in the states purchases a two ton or greater pick-up truck.
Homestar Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 AMS lists 11M positions at RAAF Amberley (A330) and Ottawa City (A330). I've been trying to figure out what the 11M exchange is in Zaragoza, Spain. 1

Phil Ken Sebben Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Zaragoza, Spain is a Herk exchange.

ziploc158 Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 Does anyone know how to go about getting an exchange with the Canadians flying herks? Or knows anyone that has done it?
Boxhead Posted September 29, 2011 Posted September 29, 2011 There was an American at the 17 Sq in Winnipeg back in 2001 when I toured that place. Now who they were, where they were form/how to get it, I have no idea, but I do know that there was an American USAF member, flying C-130s in Canada.

Their jets, their rules. Our jets, our rules. Simple.
Thor Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Another revival... I'm still a cadet so I don't have .mil access. Is there an updated list of exchange possibilities? Thanks!

For C-17s we have had exchanges with the Canadians, Aussies and UK. There are NATO C-17s in Hungary. I recall there being a German C-17 pilot when I was at Chucktown, though they don't have any C-17s (maybe there will be an opportunity to fly the A400M with them?). There have also been opportunities to go TDY to train the UAE C-17 pilots in Abu Dhabi and I believe the Kuwaitis as well. This may taper off once they build up their experience.

matmacwc Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 By my math you have 3-4 years to worry about that and the landscape will change completely. So.....huh?
