Yeah I meant more, what's the Tyndall F-22 joke? I'm a little out of the loop

Asking for a friend. What's the current availability/probability for tracking TH-1's for someone that wants to go the helo route on the active side? 

[mcbush]

Always a crapshoot. It probably depends as much on your classmates' preferences as anything else. You could easily be the only one looking for helos in a class that drops a couple of them, or you could be the #2/4 in a class that drops one. Just boils down to luck and timing, like everything else. That said, finishing highly in the rack-and-stack can only help.

The Canadians are back in Wichita Falls, eh?  When did they start sending students again?

According to a handful of Canadians at an ex, Trudeau has been decimating their military and training resources so they are trying to send some of their studs here.  

[FUSEPLUG]

Air Canada must not be hiring.

Best description: after spending 2 years flying T-38s in Northern California he gets to decide whether he’d like to pursue a U-2 assignment or some other path in life. CTP-only guys have a lot of street cred amongst the U-2 bros and are fully supported in whatever they want to do afterwards, especially if they want to try out for the U-2. They still have to complete the traditional interview process, but they’re all great pilots and already have the community’s respect. Maybe Huggy knows of a CTP a guy that didn’t get hired from a U-2 interview; if it’s ever happened it would’ve been many moons ago.

Anyone have an intel on what the H-1 drops have been like lately? Haven't seen one on here in a while.  Obviously only three options but curious what the ratio is like and how big the drops are these days.

The drops are consistently varied and highly tailored to the class (benefits of the community and the CC/FTU support to the GSU). If you get on the 23d FTS facebook page you can look through all the prior drops. I don't have them handy but they have been averaging (for the past 2 years ish) roughly 1/3 H-1s, 1/3 H-60s, and maybe one or two CV's (or in some cases just more H-1's). Bottom line, the commander will fight for the student's dreamsheets. Standard rules apply: lowest guy gets Huey's to Minot, best guy gets first choice or voluntold to H-60's or CV's, top studs will usually be asked to FAIP but it's low pressure (they want you to want it, benefits are different than a T-6 FAIP).
