Reply to Civil Path to Wings in Air National Guard
As of right now, there is no program to “Skip B-course” and go straight to your aircraft. Everybody goes to UPT (which form varies) unless you transfer from a different branch of service, and even then you go to their version of UPT. No one knows what pilot training will look like in 4 years when you’re a senior in college so its a real 🤷♀️…

Good morning BogiDope! I will be on alert today and on the app quite a bit! As always if you have any burning questions shoot me a DM!
I am sure most, if not all of you, have seen the UAP videos over NJ. Still a lot of unanswered questions across the board. This sparked my thoughts on cruise missiles as in a simple sense, they are drone that…

New tech and other factors make defending against cruise missiles a hard problem to solve, as a recent conference explored.

Hey, Max! Nice to see a fellow Gamecock interested in some Guard flying. If you’re interested in heading back to the Palmetto State, SC Air Guard has a fighter unit right outside of Columbia: the 169th Fighter Wing. I was a ‘traditional Guardsman’ there while attending UofSC, and it was a great unit. Thought I should throw that out there.
Cheers!🍻

Reply to Single Pilot Airliners one step closer
Agreed DJ, the fact that normal citizens aren’t in an uproar about this is mind boggling. Maybe it is just not all over the mainstream media to cause a stir. I wouldn’t set foot on an airline that was solely single pilot. Yes I know AF aircraft are “single” pilot but flying as elements offsets that. There have been accidents where both…

Tankers are the backbone to keeping the fight at the enemies doorstep! In any large exercise or scenario all aircraft types need gas to perform the J.O.B. Over the years I’ve had the opportunity to tank off KC-10s, KC-135s, and the KC-46. For those of you looking to get into the tanker community, unfortunately you’ll never set foot in the…

Some of you may not have been in the military yet but in 2016 a coup was attempted in Turkey to overthrow the current regime. It ultimately did not work and had several consequences. Side note, I actually flew with 3 Turks in my UPT class at ENJJPT but one major effect was the US cancelling the sale of F-35s to the NATO nation after they bought…
