BD Fam,
Check out this article from the AF times for the latest on the challenges with B-52 sustainability.
The Buff has long been the backbone of our Global Strike capabilities, and keeping it on the front lines/cutting edge will be essential to air power projection for the forseeable future.
Cheers!

Pro/Elite Member Exclusive Webinar (7-8pm EST): Excited to have Husky Martin back on the call where he will discuss strategies for your path and pivots based on statistics. Like most things in life, having an intentional plan and tangible goals will make you more successful!
As with any conflict, during operations you must learn, adapt, and overall adjust doctrine if needed. With that comes weapons and what works and doesn’t. Surface threats far outpace air as they are cheaper and faster to build and test. With that we need to side step and make changes quickly and that’s where the JDAM-LR comes in. I no doubt expect future Bogidope selects to be flying with these but could even see these on my jet!

Well, the BD community will officially never fly the T-1. More importantly, the BD community will also never get the challenge of mixing it up in the pattern with T-6s, T-38s, aaaand T-1s slowing it down. A true test of UPT skills.

Question for the group: With so many different units and boards, how do you track deadlines in your application process? How do you avoid missing deadlines and keep it all straight?
If you're anything like me, I need to see things laid out in front of me for peace of mind. I used an Excel spreadsheet with tabs for each board, then transferred to my Google calendar.
So, show of hands: How do you track your deadlines? If you have a new or different way, put it in the comments so we all get better!
BD Fam,
Here's the latest and greatest from the AF Times on the F-47 timeline.
We may see this beast clearing the picture sooner than you think. I'll bet we have a few future NGAD Drivers amongst us!
Cheers!

The 442d Wing (AFRC) at Whiteman AFB, MO secured follow-on iron after the A-10 divests. The KC Hawgs will be transitioning to the F-15E Strike Eagle at sometime in the future! This is a huge win for the 442d and presents a great opportunity for all you BogiDopers looking to fly Strikes in the Air Force Reserve Command. Keep this on your radar!

BD Fam,
Here's the latest and greatest from the AF Times on when we may see B-21s blasting off operationally from Ellsworth.
This will certainly strike fear into the adversaries as we get closer to them joining the inventory.
Cheers!

For those who've rushed a unit - what actually made the difference between a good visit and a forgettable one?
