As the T-7 grows closer to being in the active pipeline of UPT, IPT, UPT 2.5…… what ever they decide to call it, there are growing concerns with the capability it was promised to bring. These changes are already in affect with T-38 squadrons at such locations as Columbus being shut down and the “IFF” being the only game in town there. The T-7…

What is TFOT/OTS like?

The first week will feel like you’ve just enlisted at the normal USAF basic training. You’ll learn what the military is all about, how to mark, customers and courtesies, and more. No need to try and prep for all this as you’ll get anything you need there. After that the weeks are filled with classes, papers, and tests.…

Rockets and guns until Winchester! Type 3, cleared to engage! Great video on the OA-1K Sykraider II. If you have time, check out some other pieces by the author at the Warzone, Jaime Hunter. He is a Brit that enjoys unparalleled access to fighter aviation across the world. Then, check out “Rescue Dawn”, a movie based on the A-1 Skyraider…

OA-1K Arrives!

The delivery rate on these is pretty agrressive – I expect the OK ANG to be hiring pretty hard for the foreseeable future.

Can’t wait to see them in the stack. This will be Type 3, rockets and guns until Winchester.…

USAF announces IPT!

I think we knew the broad outline but here are quotes from the officials. Looks like TX, or two Arizona locations for now with potentially more in the future. I’m also hearing Pueblo from other sources.

Rumors elsewhere that the T-38 and IFF syllabus will be combined. Frankly, that makes sense to me – the T-38/IFF split…

Hello everyone! I was selected for a pilot slot on the most recent active duty board and wanted to share some stats that I have for anyone who’s interested.

I don’t know how many people applied, but there are 82 people in a group chat of all the rated selects (Pilot, CSO, AMB, & RPA) and 49 in a group chat of the pilot selects, so I’d…
