What FW airframes does the Army Guard offer?
-
So for National Guard, each state looks a little different. The workhorse is the C-12, which most states have. Several states have the C-26 but it is much less common.
It’s worth noting that in the vast majority of cases, the Guard will hire you into a rotary wing platform to grow you as an aviator in their primary mission set (lift, attack, etc). Then, after you’ve “paid your dues” for a while, transitions to FW become available. But nothing is impossible; I know of at lease one WO1 who went straight to C-12s after flight school. Also, the Army Reserve tends to be a little more flexible with their fixed-wing slots than Guard units.
Hope that helps!
