    Classic Associate unit? Is it as bad as it sounds?

    Did a search and only came up with discussions about active associate units. Any Guard/Reserve bubbas gone through the transition to a classic associate? The TFI sh$t sandwich has finally knocked on my door and it smells rancid from where I sit, so I'm trying to get a feel from those BTDT about...

    Flight time and bum question.. what to do

    As a low-time dude, I was wondering what you folks consider a nominal amount of flight time a year (or monthly however you want to look at it) as a bum before you'd consider a regional job. Reason I ask is we got a 2 yr upgrade at the unit (presently flight time independent), so depending on...

    Hi, I was wondering if anybody could provide me some intel about the LATECH flight department. Do they have full-time jobs or is it all part-time? Salaried or hourly? (if so, how much). General atmosphere, faculty attitudes, Guard/Reserve friendly? Thank you for the feedback. You can PM...

    Reserve and regional: how does mil drops work?

    Hi folks, Did a search and came up with a lot of good advice regarding waggin' a reserve gig and a regional gig for a junior co. A lot of references were made about mil leave (which implies getting a chunk of orders), but I wonder for those of us without orders, traditional bums who plan on...

    T-67 Firefly in the US? Or an acro option for the poor masses?

    Hi folks, Still doing some research and I started reading up on the Firefly. It is my understanding that they are common in the UK and that the USAF purchased a bunch of them for the IFT program (re-named it the T-3). I know a couple of them crashed in the mid-90's, eventually halting the...

    Zlin 142 questions

    Anybody have experience with these? I figure the insurance is much more affordable and acquirable than for a Pitts S-2A, particularly for somebody like me without tailwheel time. What is the going cost for Zlin 142s these days? Any hope of getting one for under 65K? I figure they aren't like the...

    T-38 IP currency Q's

    I didn't want to hijack the Foregin Air Force thread, it seems to be headed for greatness already, but the few responses made me think of a question I was pondering about the other day. For these Reserve -38 IP positions, do they always go to fighter frame folks or do B-1/B-2/B-52 pilots have...

    AC upgrade times in the Guard?

    Hi folks, I was doing some diggin' regarding upgrade time to aircraft commander while flying heavies for the Guard. Particularly -130 upgrade times. So far I've found one must have 1000tt/800herc to be eligible. Since AD flying and Guard flying can be different, I was wondering if anybody...
