Has anyone ever heard of this? Know where to go to find info? Thanks.

Nope!

55,

I've been in the AF for 10 years and never heard of this. Ususally because the fighter community is in need of pilots or can't afford to let theirs go. I have heard of heavy to fighter crossflow but never the other way.

Try going to AFPC and look in the fighter (spit) area.

Good luck, I had 8 great years in the C-17!

I've seen "fighter to heavy" crossflow from a small jet to the
B-2. There's also a flow for guys DQ'd from ejection seat aircraft. I know a couple of guys who flew fighters active duty and went into a reserve heavy unit. Both guys hated it because it's a different mentality.
I don't know that many fighter dudes that want to...and if they do, they keep it to themselves.
If a fighter dude wants a heavy, it's usually a 767 out of ATL or 737 out of PHX.

No Chance

...at least not while you're on active duty. Unless you're medically disqualified from ejection seats. Once a fighter asset, always a fighter asset.

You may find a Guard unit willing to spend the $$$ to send you to school.

Just out of curiousity, what kind of things can disqualify you from an ejection seat equipped aircraft?

I've seen it happen a few of times. Usually because of back problems, especally problems that require surgery.
