I was under the impression VT-2 was the only one sending CCX's to Oshkosh. Or you profile is out of dateI will be there....gotta love a ccx at the right place/right time.
So let me get this straight...you've flown jets in a demonstration squadron, and the air force, in its infinite wisdom, decides to make you a NAV?!
Cool story otherwise, man. Best of luck in nav school.
Centennial T-45 from TW2 should be there. If you hear a stud's head exploding somewhere over Fond Du Lac on the radios....
Interesting. I was just reading an old IFS thread and came across this:Hardly anyone in the AF knows or cares what an L-39 is (or any warbird for that matter), I'm getting old...and the AF made a big push for CSOs/Navs in my particular OTS board - if I didn't take it, I would be too old by the next board. I got a 96 on the pilot portion of thr AFOQT, but was arrested when I was 18 for a "potato gun incident"....so maybe that had something to do with it....either way I'm pretty fortunate to get to serve in a flying capacity... And definitely looking forward to all the training. We'll see what the future brings... The old company just acquired about 10 A-4s... So it'll be exciting either way.
not trying to be a super duper internet sleuth, just curious why your stories dont seem to matchDude - forget the civie time, you should consider not doing the accel course. I have pretty much most Commercial fixed wing rating MEL,MES,SEL,SES with a fair amount of acro/warbird/ tailwheel time, blah blah... And I just got my ass kicked by the T-38 sim. Take EVERY study/training advantage you can - seriously! It's different
I'd be curious to hear from those that have flown in to Oshkosh to see if it's the same, and I know Sun 'n Fun is smaller, but...
I've flown into Sun 'n Fun both on the civilian side and on the military side (both the Wiener and the -60). It was far less hectic bringing a military aircraft in as there is different course rules and they just bring you directly in.
Yet another great visit to KLAL.

Like I said, I was just curious, not accusing him of anything. Perhaps I could have worded it a bit betterHuh? I am pretty slow, but failing to see the inconsistency. He said that the T-38 sim kicked his ass, he didn't say that he was in the sim on a pilot syllabus hop. Plenty of people climb in the sim, to include parents, friends, and kids.
Granted, I don't really know this guy, or care for that matter, just don't see it based on what you posted.
I'd be curious to hear from those that have flown in to Oshkosh...
I've flown the T-38 into Oshkosh in '97, '99, and 2002-2010 (save for 2007, when I flew the U-2 in; and 2008 when I flew the U-2 back to Beale... joined up on a Cessna on that one, and made the cover of Flying Magazine, March 2009).
We always get an "IFR slot time". Despite that,... it can get "sporty".
