Its one thing to say its happened. (damn near everything under the sun has happened at one time or another) I was wondering more along the lines of is it done. (like 2 out of the last 5 strike transitions were helo guys, vice "yea we had someone do it back in '94). And if I remember correctly MB put in for tacair and E2/C2. They gave him E2/C2. So is it an extremely rare thing or more along the lines of "its done but not all that common"?
Well transitions are pretty rare in and of themselves (check the board results yourself) so it's hard to say if helos to jets is any harder. I doubt the difference is really significant. A transition is a transition (for the most part) so if a P-3 guy or a helo guy goes to jets is probably not AS significant to the boards, as say... if he's a hard worker and good performer. But then again, I don't actually know anything, so there's THAT.....
