  • How often do you fly in ANG

    Posted by Caasi on May 5, 2024 at 11:13 pm

    This is just a random question I’ve been thinking of and can’t really find an answer too. How often do ANG pilots fly? I assume it’s less than active duty. I do know you need to maintain currency in your airframe, and I’m sure heavies/fighters are different. Is it a couple times a week or more like a month?

    It depends! But in general, I fly 6-12 times a month.

    The most important factors:

    1) Type of aircraft (fighters, heavy, help)

    2) Sorites available (# of healthy jets vs # of pilots)

    3) You!

    As a full time IP in a fighter unit 12 was normal; I had a couple of months with 20.

    As a part-timer I averaged 7.

    It’s so variable from unit to unit that it’s a great question to ask any place you visit.

    Get those counters!
