Do the Number!
Supersonic overland commercial flight might be a thing again!
Sounds like I’m approved supersonic in my Viper. That’s what I heard.

Reattack.
Some folks will skip the part-time + regionals and just stay full time.
Advantages
- more flying, competitive for weapons school, probably better cash flow initially
- Higher value pension (ANG or Regular)
Disadvantages
- Get to the airlines later.
- You’ll likely make less money over the course of your aviation career (maybe 5-10% less)

Absolutely. Most guardsmen and reservists have multiple seasons of part-time and full-time.
The classic ANG-Airlines flow is.
Full-time to get to 750 hours and IP. Apply to the regionals.
Part-time at the regionals to get to 2,000 TT and Captain. Apply to the majors.
- Fly a lot with the unit to stay tactical and make money
Part-time with the…

I had one of the moments during my topography checks. “Huh. I’ll have to send this one off to get reviewed”
Ended up being nothing but the waiting was stressful. It sucks and we’ve all been there. Wishing you good luck!
Cheers

More B course metal.
Rolling this iron into the now combined F-15E/EX b course (hopefully) means more slots and faster timelines for aspiring fighter pilots.

F-15E Strike Eagles To Leave England For Good
Exactly what will replace the forward-deployed F-15Es, which are some of the most in-demand aircraft in the USAF, at RAF Lakenheath isn't clear. The Air Force plans look likely to see RAF Lakenheath become an all-F-35 base.

Just say the word! The thought of dropping on a liquid natural gas tanker….think of those secondaries.

So…about those Michigan F-15EXs…
According to the article below those tails were promised elsewhere.
My best guess….the representatives from CA, LA and MI add extra F-15EXs to the budget.

Broadly I would say. Realize you will have to close any door you open.
When describing your health history stick to confirmed diagnosis. It’s not the time to story tell about every sniffle you had.
Also, realize that doctors make mistakes and that sometimes that diagnosis of asthma was just a bad pollen season. If that happens it is fine to…

In the recent past it seems (anecdotally) that most younger fighter pilots stay full-time. They usually want to complete their instructor upgrade and have too few hours to join an airline.
That said, individual results vary. Some folks are eager to go part-time and sometimes a unit runs out of resources.
If I had to throw out a number…75% stay full-time.
