EX has become my favorite, I’m probably going to go Navy but I’d adore to go to an Eagle unit after that. It’s a beautiful machine, simple and powerful. I wish we’d buy more of them honestly; I can tell they’re going to become a workhorse for the USAF in the future as the capabilities grow more and more.

That’s the number one fighter I want to fly! However due to already having a family and also the fact that we don’t really want to move to either Oregon or California. I have decided to stick to my states ANG. But man what a beautiful aircraft! Hope to see in person one day.

I am currently 22 years old, so I’m not worried about exceeding the age limitations for several years. My bachelor’s in science – aviation degree will be complete in October of this year, and…

Fantastic! They will bring much to the mission, here’s hoping more than 26 make it to the active side!

@C.J. I am not sure, but for us Strike Eagle babies, we hope so. The banter is get enough to replace the 26 that have the 220 motors (20,000 pounds of thrust per side for 40,000 pounds total) in them. That gives you a thrust to weight ratio of 1:2 when heavyweight. Max takeoff weight 81,000 pounds.
These oldest F-15E tails I think are from 1987.…

F-15EX tail 008 flew into Klamath Falls last week. Pics to follow.
Fresno is another unit slated to get the Eagle.
Anyone interested in the flying Boeing’s (McDonnell Douglas) newest bird?

Heard that the McEntire unit cancelled their UPT hiring board?
Any truth to this rumor for the SCANG?

All recruiters, despite the commissioning source you are going through, have to attend the same training. The recruiting school house is in San Antonio and is quite in depth. If you ever have questions about this…or about what a recruiter can and should do for you, please reach out. Remember that in general 70% of applicants can’t meet…

FOLLOW UP NOTES:
Nola was a blast. The whole unit is a tightly knit community and all of the people there were very welcoming. Having talked to other applicants before applying helped to take some of the awkwardness out of having to get to know 50+ candidates, pilots, etc. My biggest piece of advice is to be humble and be yourself. I hope to…
