You flyin the Col's bird?

Other than printed name, it has no other significance.  That person will fly 'his' jet only by chance as when you step to a jet, tail numbers are given and not asked for.

I finished Phase 2.  I'm T-6 complete.  Next week there is track select and I'll find out what next training aircraft I'll be flying in.

~100 hours in T-6. 50hrs  sim time.




Picture after my final flight.

Drop me a line next time I was out of the area when you dropped in the last time. Give me a day or so heads up when you come to BHM and the lunch will be paid for. Time for a taxpayer to do something other than spring for your training.

WTG Russian. 

What A/C are you hoping for?  Have they given you any idea, and have you been able to express a preference?

Student places 3 top preferences out of 4 airframes USAF uses to train. But to get one of them (T-38), scores in Phase 2 have to be very high.

So what is your first choice and how long to find out what you get?

My next training airframe is T-1. By the end of phase 3, I will have 190 hrs in it.





Tomorrow bright and early academics start for 4 weeks straight before we hit flightline.
