New fighter weapons – SiAW!
Getting closer on fielding the new Stand in Attack Weapon. What is it? It appears to be a thirteen foot missile so who cares, shoot that thing and try not to giggle!
So what is this about? Well for those of you interested in fighters we’re really in a paradigm shift of weapons. It used to be that only bombers…

Welcome Edward! Great to have you join. Ya the OA-1K looks like a hoot to fly, and you get to shoot rockets! With a degree in fire science are you looking to do the fire suppression mission? You can do it both in the USAF (CO, CA, and WY) or be a guard OA-1K pilot by night and the OV-10 firefighter by day.

We’ve been working hard to get more data from the field but the bottom line is that flying training is really in a state of flux right now. If you feel like it’s rapidly changing and different base to base – I would say you pretty well understand it.
XPW is a pretty small program – you can search for it on the main page. You need quite a…

Found some interesting gouge on the internet that shed some light (see attached). It’s the USAF request for bids for IPT and it pretty well lays out what they’re looking for. Enjoy at your leisure.
Bottom Line: Sounds like a pretty fun flying summer camp. Looks like they’re trying to take you from 0 hours to multiengine + instrument in about…

Reply to UPT With Past Flying Experience
I had a similar experience in UPT. We had a dude with like 2,000+ hours, MEII. And he was good in (ahem) T-37s, but could not handle the T-38 and actually dropped out (before washing out). It was crazy to see how little total hours mattered in the end.

Cruise Video!
In honor of our Navy aspirants here’s the best/shortest/best music and editing cruise video I could find. Note the St Elmo’s fire at the 3minute-ish mark. Yikes!

Spooky In the Stack
I have a love/hate relationship with the AC-130. Because when you show up in the CAS stack and they AC-130 is on station. You’re not getting any of the fun stuff. Sure, go look at this road and report, mabye keep and eye on the LZ but nothing important. Because it’s got all that way handled.
I think the thing I’m most…

Reply to Congress Asks ICAO to Increase Pilot Retirement Age
The rumors when I’m at my airline job is that they want to push it from 65 to 67 so a pretty small change. There’s precedent for it, in 2007 the age went from 60 to 65.
While the overall effect won’t be huge. It’s generally considered a ‘bad deal’ for the young pilots because it causes a two year plateau when seniority doesn’t move much. But…
