A-10 STL, what am I missing?

Reserves at whiteman...close enough i guess

[Guest]

It’s possible, but probably not. There have been an uptick of 38 studs to ACC heavies. Why do you ask?

Thought those used to be sourced with IFF washouts. Has that program lost its teeth?

No, there is an ANG unit in STL that used to fly F-15C's, so your statement isn't just inaccurate , it's confusing.

Whiteman = SZL...... maybe a typo on the initial post?

To clarify, there no longer is an ANG unit in STL. The 131 FW which used to operate F-15s out of STL became the 131 BW and moved to Whiteman as an associate unit. They now operate the B-2 as a conventional bombing wing.

As far as I know. I know a few IFF washouts that went to AMC heavies. We were told it was to alleviate the bottleneck at the fighter FTUs. We were told not to expect AMC, only ACC heavies or AFSOC for the FY18 drops. The first few classes felt it the hardest and it’s been a sprinkling here and here the entire year so far. RUMINT machine said to not expect AMC since they’re more reluctant to send their 38-trained dudes back to AETC.

Yet another reason to return to old school UPT.

Actual B-2 or T-38 with possible B-2 follow on?

They are actual B-2's but they fly the T-38 for about 1.5 to 2 years before they start B-2 training.

I'm gonna take a swing at this and guess that we're loading the dugout so that the shiny pennies can go to the new hotness in the next 3-5 years.

There has been a rumor that they'll be on the next drop since I was in UPT back in 2013, so your guess is as good as anyones.

[Yeetmcgeet]

Anyone hear the UPT Next drops from last friday? Rumor is 4 F-16s and 2 F-35s for the ACC guys

[skibum]

What gives on the E-3 in 38s? There's got to be a story behind that one.

CAF heavy planes drop to T-38s. Some people are unlucky, some didn't do well enough.

Heavy in CAF has been around a while, but an E-3 is a bit of a kick in the nuts. Unlucky is an understatement. I'm thinking multiple DUIs and caught with a tranny prostitute.
