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…

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…

As an A-10 bubba, I have been told since the beginning of my career that the A-10 was “going away”, but this time seems different. The closure of the 25th Fighter Squadron in Korea will be the second active duty (AD) Fighter Squadron to divest their A-10s following ANG’s Fort Wayne last year. It seems this might actually be the end of an era…
