Dutch F-35 Receives Drone Kill Marking

Following the Russian drone incursion in Poland, a RNLAF F-35A has received a drone kill marking below the canopy rail. A Royal Netherlands Air Force

As much as we like to think that winning wars starts and ends with tactical avaiation, the reality is that command and control (C2) is an integral part of the fight. Without it, we all fly blind, get surprised by bad hombres, or never find the tanker. There is a concerted effort across the coalition force to modernize C2. I have worked with…

These competitions are comprised of 3 sequences: one that you can practice (known), one that you get about 24 hours prior (unknown), and one you create (free). He flies for Metro State College in…

Home - TBAS Test Prep Tools

Ditch the flash cards, flight simiulators, and random internet forums. The TBAS Test Prep Tools are by far the best way to prepare yourself for the grueling

So you’re not from around here….

Up front a local tie-in is always a plus. But…you can’t be from everywhere so lets talk about that.

Why does a board care? Welp what they really want to know is ‘do you have a plan to thrive here?’

Some red flags:

-You’re interviewing at Duluth but hail from Florida – how is that first winter going to…

You don’t have to bat a 1000

Let’s be real – public speaking is difficult. We do a great job here of getting you prepped for the rush and interview but I’m much rather face Flankers than small talk.

It can be helpful to turn off that part of your brain that is evaluating your performance. Easier said than done. Perhaps a more realistic tool is…

I’m 32 in the Air Force reserves as an IMA. Am I too old for pilot training?

My favorite thing to post!

Big shout out to Rayyan M., who recently got hired to be the next great KC-135 Co-Pilot out in OKC!

Congrats Rayyan, and looking forward to big things from you!

Just finished my first AFOQT book and have another to read, planning on taking the test in a month or two. This will be my second attempt so it has to be PERFECT! If anyone has any wisdom about taking the exam, or strategies that helped you improve, I am all ears. Thank you! 😀

Attention to detail is a key component in the military and being a military aviator. So hopefully you’ll experience it in UPT once selected; you’ll be jugged on how you fill out your caps, down to the period usage is scrutinized. One little slip up and you could find yourself in a world of hurt. 

Being in the guard and even reserve you may find…
