Interesting that the KC-46 is starting to drop out of UPT when it’s not out of IOT&E yet and won’t be for a few years.

[Guest PeggyDriver46]

KC-46 driver here. That program is nowhere near ready for any sort of Initial Qual. We’ve been screaming this for years and it’s falling on deaf ears.

Any recent drop nights to speak of? It's been quite dry in here

[Standby]

If you’re a T-1 stud: 69% chance of a C-17 then rest is 1-2 AFSOC, couple wide body ISR, rest tankers. 
 

If you’re a T-38 stud with a pulse (even if it’s faint) probably a Viper but 33.3% repeating chance of a 5th gen; the other 1-3 studs will get a bomber. If you’re at Laughlin, 87% chance you get FAIPd. Better yet, if you’re at Vance or Columbus...you could FAIP to XL!

EA-18G is a Growler! Rare, but cool drop.

[herkbier]

Copy.. am surprised to see it in an AF drop, twice. 
 

Found this article, should’ve googled before I posted..

In the previous EA-6B Joint/mixed/whatever Prowler squadron, it meant boat qualification.

Same for this?  Cool, yet not. 

[JimNtexas]

We have had crews in Prowlers and Growlers since the Sparkvark phased out in 1998!
 

In recent years training command has not sent any electronic warfare officers and certainly no pilots who know anything about electronica warfare to growlers.

 

Perhaps they are putting the Air Force crews through the full Navy EW training school.  

 

In any case these two lieutenants are far from the first growler pilots the Air Force has ever had. And I assume by ‘pilots’ they mean pilot and electronic warfare officer.

USAF bros doing an exchange tour with the navy do not get carrier qual’d, whether they’re taking a job at the RAG or Whidbey. I’ve asked that question in regards to an exchange tour and been given the same answer multiple times.

[LiquidSky]

Multiple B2 drops. Are these similar to the U2 drops? Fly as a 38 ip for a few years then have the opportunity to apply/graduate into the B2 or something different?

They use to up until around 2014. We had a F-15C dude in my fleet sqdn who got to go to the boat. The F-16 and F-15E guys who followed him didn't get to since we weren't a boat sqdn. Neither were very happy.
