Yes.
It depends if it's still under warranty... Also, did you pay extra for the rental insurance? That matters too.
A lengthy investigation followed by an change of the MSR or EAOS to 30 years in the future for the guilty party to pay it back. Ever wonder why so many senior leaders have a "back when I was a JO, you could really screw things up and survive!" story? There's your answer.
Gotta get that GAP protection for the F-35s, too. Don't forget that. What if you total it during acceptance flights?
Operational necessity brooks no delay.

True but you have to check the insurance box in the air craft log book.
Other wise your on the hook for it and have to get a second job.
Don't let these guys mess with you. There's no need for a new plane when they always give you a turning spare for really important missions. You might owe the maintainers a case of beer if you destroy one of their jets, but they're used that kind of thing...happens all the time.
The real trick is to know which side number to pick on airplane selection day. You don't wanna get stuck with a shitty ride your whole time in the squadron. Again, a case of beer to the maintainers might get you a peek at the ADB beforehand (think CarFax for airplanes).
Plus, you don't even have to bother going through maintenance control after you crash. No MAF's to write, no codes, no engine numbers.
In the Navy we have to roll by the geedunk and fill out a few forms. If you've been working hard on your qualifications you may have had upgraded missiles, radar, or motors on your jet. The most important is the ID One Zero Tango...that's your request to get back in the air, even if it's only been a few days.
Don't forget those "special" weapons you get your CO likes you.
I guess I've never thought about this. Do you fly the same aircraft your entire tour? I'm used to the flight school/FRS method of taking whatever is available, so I was under the impression that's how it would always be.
