I will caveat this with I did not do T-1s. However, the military will teach you everything you need to know. Even if you went T-6s first, you will still get to T-1s without the multi-engine knowledge. I would save your money and let them teach you what you need to know. Going straight to T-1s will actually probably help you as a lot of…
JVestal8 and JohnooloHey y’all, got a question for the group. Can anyone speak to joining a heavy unit and going to UPT only doing the T-1 track and skipping T-6 altogether? What is that like and how difficult is it?
I am currently applying to some heavy units and have heard that this is happening in certain situations. My concern is that all of my flight time is…

I had a similar experience in UPT. We had a dude with like 2,000+ hours, MEII. And he was good in (ahem) T-37s, but could not handle the T-38 and actually dropped out (before washing out). It was crazy to see how little total hours mattered in the end.

Cruise Video!
In honor of our Navy aspirants here’s the best/shortest/best music and editing cruise video I could find. Note the St Elmo’s fire at the 3minute-ish mark. Yikes!

Spooky In the Stack
I have a love/hate relationship with the AC-130. Because when you show up in the CAS stack and they AC-130 is on station. You’re not getting any of the fun stuff. Sure, go look at this road and report, mabye keep and eye on the LZ but nothing important. Because it’s got all that way handled.
I think the thing I’m most…

Most are likely familiar with the F-35, but if you don’t follow it to deeply a lot of civilian and political authorities do not like the program for budget overruns. The platform is capable but Lockheed hasn’t delivered what was promised on day 1 the jet started flying. Happy the DOD is finally holding these contractors accountable! My…

The F-35 delivery delays due to upgrade problems have slowed down the Air Force's deployment of jets to England, among other consequences.

Reply to Congress Asks ICAO to Increase Pilot Retirement Age
The rumors when I’m at my airline job is that they want to push it from 65 to 67 so a pretty small change. There’s precedent for it, in 2007 the age went from 60 to 65.
While the overall effect won’t be huge. It’s generally considered a ‘bad deal’ for the young pilots because it causes a two year plateau when seniority doesn’t move much. But…
