In 1980's those without flight experience went to Hondo TX and got some time in a C172. How times have changed. I was stationed at Laughling AFB in Del Rio and back then everyone started UPT in a T-37 "Tweet". A lot of AF Academy grads went through and those who washed out were mostly sent to Navigator School.
FSPOT at Hondo in a T-41 was not training. It was Flight Screening. 2 guys “washed out” in my class. I have no idea what these butter bars are training for. This is no UPT/JSUPT I’ve ever seen. Looks way too easy and relaxed.
Chillax fellas, we all know UPT was a pressure cooker/meatgrinder…. Let them enjoy their accomplishments! I’m sure when it comes time to meet the challenges of UPT they’ll do just fine. Pretty sure they are showing up with way more applicable skills and knowledge than all of us coming out of Hondo. All I remembered from FSPOT was that my instructor looked just like Roy Orbison (dark glasses and all) and the dang sky tractor that kept busting across our patterns when he came back to tank up… 😂. Welcome to the fraternity folks! Study hard and earn those coveted silver wings, do us old farts proud!
Who’s bashing anybody? I’ve never seen this Ab initio training for the USAF UPT pipeline. Good time to be a 2nd Lt in the pilot pipeline. Easy no pressure flying and no one washes out since we’re short of pilots. And “UPT” is only a few months and not a year. Just fly the magenta line like an airline pilot. Nice.
Very cool edit! For me emotional. Being a Airforce Cadet is a dream since I was a kid. When I see this I could start crying. I´ll never experience this because I am not an US Citizen.
I am currently enlisted and plan to put in an OTS package in for 24OT02. My question is, do those who attend the USAFA intend to be lifers? Also, I am looking for a rated pilot slot too, CONGRATS!
Thank you & best of luck! To answer your question, no. While some may plan to serve 20+ years, many also just intend to serve their initial commitment (though they may change their mind along the way)
How many cadets will be an aviators/pilots? How is specialization in fight pilots, transport pilots, patrol pilots, ground attack pilots, helicopter pilots, bomber pilots etc.etc. ? How many cadets will be part of infantry, suport, maintenance and engineering, etc. etc.?
Of the 921 graduates of the Class of 2023, 419 went Rated. Pilot - 398 RPA - 12 ABM - 4 CSO - 5 Individuals selected for pilot won’t know their airframe until completing UPT & earning their wings!
Thank you for showing the lighter side of the AFA and all the fun times with other cadets and family! And congrats on graduation! However, I know how hard you had to work academically, mentally, and physically to make it to graduation - I hope viewers of your videos understand and appreciate your hard work and dedication! I live in Old Colorado City and enjoy the frequent flyovers of different Air Force aircraft. My dog likes it too and whenever she hears the sound of military power aircraft she wants to go outside and see! My son served 5 years in the AF as a F-16 crew chief in Korea and on the agressor squadron at Nellis. Good luck with your career and thank you for your service!
Congratulations on graduation and getting selected for pilot! Remember the most important thing in training: Always have working markers in all four colors. Just kidding...kind of...
Yes it’s hard, but it’s also so achievable!! Be intentional, work hard, & don’t give up if this is the path you want to take! If I can do it, so can you😊
I genuinely got goosebumps, life was very exciting and took up a lot more space, then when you showed the clip of the Coronavirus, it's like a flip just switched.
