Another article released by the Air & Spaces Forces Magazine regarding the pilot shortage across the AF. This is clearly at the forefront of the minds of leadership in the Air Force right now. It is a good time to be current and qualified and an even better time to be looking to get into the Air Force in any capacity. My personal opinions…

Will require not only new pilots, but the ability to retain those already trained and skilled.

Reply to Rush Event Networking
Candidates,
BogiDope wants your opinions!
Just out of curiosity, if there was a central rush event hosted by BogiDope say twice a year at a location of our choosing, how many of you would show up?
The vision is a weekend conference at a new cool city every year. Say a Friday optional social at a bar/restaurant with all of the candidates,…

Reply to Any insight on 144th FW (Fresno) UPT board timeline?
aviationenthusiast8,
I know the 144th is going through a transition period (again) as they figure out what will come after the C-Model. There is a lot of talk of EX going to Fresno but I don’t think anything is set in stone with the C-Model divesting. This is going to affect their hiring plans. Give this one some time to dope out…

Not going to lie, as a CAS player this one stings just a bit. Unreal opportunity though for the AFSOC dudes and absolutely critical to SPECOPs and support of their mission. Anyone want to fly a Skyraider!? This thing is awesome…

NJCS13,
I would reach out to Frances “Tigger” Burress @Tigger for specifics on waiver info. She is one of the BogiDope coaches and a physician assistant in the ANG. Would for sure be able to answer this for you!
Cheers

One of the most memorable moments of my life was my T-38 dollar ride. Selecting AB on takeoff and feeling that jet kick me into the back of my seat was one of the coolest experiences of my life.
Check out this article on the history of the Dollar Ride and keep watching the BogiDope Activity Feed for opportunities to improve your…

Friends,
Last month I posted about an article by the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies regarding the overwhelming pilot shortage in the Air Force, particularly with regard to fighter pilots.
The Mitchell Institute recently released a 56 page document explaining why the fighter pilot shortage exists, what consequence this shortage has on…

Where can we go to listen to the podcast? Definitely intrigued by the conversation, as the Navy is having similar issues across the enterprise. Thanks!

A Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Studies report released last month examined pilot shortages in 2024. The report found that the Air Force is approximately 1,850 pilots short of their overall goal and of those, 1,142 were fighter pilots.
We, as a community of warriors need to identify and address the root cause of fighter pilot shortages…

Air Force needs more fighter pilots for more airpower, report says
The number of fighter pilots is decreasing. But a Washington think tank has an idea for how to stem the tide and bring seasoned airmen back into the fold.

I’m ready to make that 1,141 pilots short, put me in coach!

I think it always goes back to, everyone wants to become a fighter pilot, and not enough want to stay. I wonder though if there were more fighter slots in the guard and reserve. If pilots would be willing to stay instead of jump to the airlines.

As an Air National Guard (ANG) or Air Force Reserve (USAFR) pilot, there are many opportunities to sharpen your skills, fly more and go TDY. The 419th Fighter Wing is a Total Force Integration (TFI) Classic Associate Unit. These Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) units are attached to Active Duty Fighter Wings (in this case the 388th FW), and…
