We certainly have always had plenty of volunteers to fly. The (USAF) pilot shortage you hear about sometimes is actually this super wonky programmatic problem.
Just one opinion. I think fighter pilot billets (the number of pilots we need) are stable for the next decade. But production will struggle a bit until the T-7a arrives in force.

No laser for now. We’ll have to keep working on that gun mech.

The Self-Protect High-Energy Laser Demonstrator, or SHiELD, was envisioned as a laser weapon mounted on fighter jets such as the F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II that would neutralize incoming missiles.

Tell me about a time…disagreement or failure
Tell me about a time…

Sometimes it’s a challenge to hold down conversation at the bar during the social. Here’s one article that sums up a lot of fighter pilot opinions and may help the banter. I’ll post more as they pop up.

The U.S. Air Force today is the oldest and smallest in its history. Consequently, it's experiencing a severe fighter gap between what it has and what it requires.

Howdy back. Bottom Line Up Front: Rushing a fighter ANG and a USAFR fighter is same-same.
There’s some difference when we talk about big wing aircraft and the AFRC UPT program, but that doesn’t apply to fighter strongly.
The big difference is titles, authorities and chains of command. Here’s a diagram. There won’t be a test.
