I start T6’s in March 2021 at CAFB. I’m nervous but excited as hell... can’t wait to get back up in the air after they teased with the DA-20. It looks hella fun!

Good luck. Learned to fly at CAFB myself. Class 12-12. Read “Boyd.” A phenomenal student once recommended this book to me and it changed my perspective on everything Air Force. Ask yourself, “To be, or to do?” Be humble and you’ll be alright.

This plane seems so special flying a raptor is cool and all but something about this little t6 seems so fun to fly. It kinda reminds me of a atv or dirt bike when they get too big it's just not as enjoyable because you can never push it to the max. Or if you can its just for a few secs especially on a trail but you hop on a 250 and you can WOT the entire time and have a blast

Joy of flying. Joy of freedom not being grounded any more. Perfect mix of images and music give me exactly those feelings I even do not tried to understand just enjoyed savagely, truly, wildly! Thank you Hopefully no war, no invasion

Update: Never took the exam. The day before I was supposed to take it, the HOTAS they had broke and I couldn't take the test. It was futile anyway because I injured my knee a couple of days later... Dream ain't dead but sure as hell it's in a coma.
Air Force specific: Need to become an officer. Either the academy, ROTC, or OTS. Recommend Academy since they are allotted more pilot slots. I’m from ROTC and getting a pilot slot was about a 10% chance in 2010, at my unit. If you want to fly fighters, recommend rushing a guard or reserve unit.

@@theSWAGflyer Great flight sir. You got to do what I dreamed of the whole time I was growing up but the dream ended when I had to get glasses in highschool. I have been a Private Pilot for 41 years now and I love to fly aerobatics. Sure would like to have flown the F-16 though. You and your cohorts are the only men in the world that I envy.
