So Gringo, does the AF have a track just for heavy Navs? I ask because I've never heard of anyone "starting" training knowingly limited to non-ejection seat acft? It usually happens after wings when something physical happens to a flyer...

Someone who's not going to bore the crowd to suicidetalking about reduction gearboxes, reversing cams, beta blade angles and the subtitles of how the world will actually freaking fall apart at the seams if a pilot writes "Throttles -idle." versus "Throttles-IDLE" on his or her closed book exam (no seriously, I got marked down by a P-3 NATOPS officer for NOT capitalizing my action item on an closed book).... "Get a life homo..." Not you. heynowlookout, the NATOPS officer.
My advice... don't ever be THAT guy.
Will there be power available? I may need to bring my laptop and a portable projector and set up a prop system lecture

If you apply to C-130 reserve/guard units as a nav, they will guarantee their specific airframe out of pilot/nav school for their direct-to-OTS hires. IIRC the only ejection seat track out of Randolph is B-52s anyway. There was an AF SWSO at Pcola a while ago working on waivers for DQing back problems; the personnel folks here were kicking around the idea of sending him to Randolph at one point.
Yeah i have a T-6, T-1 and a T-44 lined up along with a P-3 and EA-6b, 130, 135 and a B-52. I'm having trouble getting fighters in. We have a few other aircraft that just haven't confirmed yet either. I just want to get the word out to any one that might be from the burgh or may be interested.
Yes thet do have a track for heavy Navs. Not sure exactly how they get sorted out through all the commissioning sources but depending on class rank from OTS you go stike/heavy. The strike Navs go through P'cola and the heavies go through Randolph.
You got to sell this right...do you really think someone is going to schedule a XC with atactical jet as a result of this post.
I can just imagine the conversation witheir OPS or CO.
"Can I go on a XC to Pittsburg, some guy on the internet said I'd get free beer and parties each night."
"Who is he???I don't know...some guy."
That doesn't work these days? When I was in the fleet we would have gotten the green light on the free beer alone. If that doesn't work anymore then the enterprising JO should be able to repackage it for "retail" sale to the skipper. Useful references were provided above.

What day and what time? I haven't been to one of those since I was studying for my E-5 exam. I'd like to see how much I can remember.
I'll be at this airshow, I go every year. They are having it kind of early this year. Wings Over Pittsburgh usually isn't until July.
