If I PM you, will you be their?

You must be pretty bored, huh?

Not really. 20 years ago, I saw video of the F-22 beating the crap out of a runway, now you're determining that only eagle guys are good enough to fly it.

Meanwhile, Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit Two sits waiting...

I never said only eagle guys are good enough to fly the F-22. The point of my post is that far as I know currently only F-15 pilots are being put into the F-22s, and I was saying they probably have quite a bit of experience under their belts.

I can dig it.

You've really got me stumped, FN. I have no idea why you seem to have an obsession with Navy divers.

Men of Honor was a good flick though.

Not only was it a great flick, but I personally met Carl Brashear, the black master diver featured in that film. In addition, another master diver that I worked with in the navy had three cameo appearances in that movie and was a technical advisor to the producers. His name was Richard Radecki...the "rag man".

Both of which will kick your ass in a spelling bee.

In case you're wondering, it's not your spelling that ticks me off. It's that after 20 years of watching the F-22 project on television, it finally becomes an "airshow" recruiting poster child.

Good thing we didn't need it 15 years ago to actually do something.

aw man i wish i was there. Who gets to fly the F-22s as of right now anyway? are they all F-15 guys moved up to the 22 or do new guys out of UPT get to fly it as well.

I need to see that! Ok , let's call a student to see if he wants to do a XC to LAL, Eheheh...I'm sure I'll find one!

 

[JimNtexas]

I'm sure their flown by well experienced Eagle drivers. I kinda doubt theyd let newbies fly that ridiculously expensive airplane.

They'll have new UPT grads very soon. The Squadron Commanders love young guys who can be molded into images of themselves. And someone has to run the snack bar.

Common sense would say restrict the F-22 pilot force to senior Captains and Majors with over 1000 fighter hours.

But we're talking Air Force fighter pilots, not common sense.
