Title: The USAF is recalling up to 1000 retired pilots
Post by: DaveBB on October 20, 2017, 11:32:12 PM: The USAF is short 1,500 pilots. As of right now, they are only recalling 25 pilots. President Trump signed an order allowing them to recall 1,000 retired pilots.

It sounds good but, .......

And, oh by the way, there’s no more boot polishing going on. They wear low profile boots, no polished required. :rofl

I’d much more prefer to use ‘em for flying. Less blisters that way and a whole lot more fun.
