Interesting post from our friends over at The Merge.

“A recent study found that 83% of F-35 fighter pilots reported a negative impact on flight performance due to back and neck pain—much of it linked to heavy helmet-mounted equipment and flight maneuvers.” -The Merge

To pile-on to Huskys great advice, here is the most common refrain I have heard from units regarding informal/formal events with UPT candidates: “This dude just wasn’t authentic”. A crowd like you’re describing isn’t really out to evaluate you, but get to know you a bit. Don’t tell people what you think they want to hear, just be yourself.…

OA-1K Arrives!

The delivery rate on these is pretty agrressive – I expect the OK ANG to be hiring pretty hard for the foreseeable future.

Can’t wait to see them in the stack. This will be Type 3, rockets and guns until Winchester.…

Took the AFOQT this morning, here are my takeaways:

Verbal Analogies – easier words than any of the practice tests, but difficult to find relationships between. Some analogies were comprised of simple words, like clock or door, but I couldn’t find the relationship between them (function, synonym, rhyme).

Arithmetic Reasoning – short questions,…

I think the BogiDope community is officially on a hot streak! Congrats to Vidur @vidur-thukral , who teamed up with us to prepare for multiple interviews. Vidur had been selected as an alternate at multiple fighter units and kept pushing. His most recent interview was with Portland, and this time he hit the bullseye! He has been selected as…

Well, as the layout plan becomes more clear about which ANG unit they will go to…you might change your mind!

The divesting of A-10s will shake our world….and frankly I do hope they change their mind on that.
A-10s have an amazing capability, and none of the other production fighters can match that with its titanium covered parts, being low…

EX has become my favorite, I’m probably going to go Navy but I’d adore to go to an Eagle unit after that. It’s a beautiful machine, simple and powerful. I wish we’d buy more of them honestly; I can tell they’re going to become a workhorse for the USAF in the future as the capabilities grow more and more.

F-15EX

F-15EX tail 008 flew into Klamath Falls last week. Pics to follow.

Fresno is another unit slated to get the Eagle.

Anyone interested in the flying Boeing’s (McDonnell Douglas) newest bird?

Just fun

T-38 max effort takeoff.

Did you know a T-38 can outrun an F-16 (with tanks)?

The 38 can mil power cruise at 620 KCAS at 300’. The F-16 is limited to 600 with tanks. In max AB the talon can do 680 easy. Skulls up, that trick gets sporty if only one lights, but that’s a story for another time.
