USAF Civil Path to Wings
For the experienced civilian aviators in the community exploring Air Force options, have you heard about the Civil Path to Wings (CPW) program?
This program was introduced a few years ago, but rumor has it they're still taking applicants! FAA- highly qualified pilots can compete for selection to an accelerated Air Force pilot training pipeline leading to Mobility, Special Operations (fixed wing), or Reconnaissance aircraft opportunities.
Selected candidates validate their skills through written, oral, and simulator evaluations. They can obtain Air Force wings in as little as 3 months through a T-1 Jayhawk sim-only syllabus before heading off to their assigned aircraft.
Reach out if you have any questions!

I've had a few people reach out on this under the impression this program is no longer enrolling STUDs. I can confirm it is still very much operating. DM me if you have any interest, and I'll get you in contact with the right people!
CHAOS Hey CHAOS, I came across your post about Civil Path to Wings and saw your comment confirming the program is still active. I’m a currently commissioned Air National Guard officer with prior pilot-training experience, and I’m seriously interested in exploring CPW.
I’m looking at completing my civilian FAA qualifications and wanted to connect with someone directly involved in the program before making that investment.
Would you be able to point me toward the right person? I’d really appreciate any guidance. Thanks!
