Thanks Hal...I'll put it on my list.

 

[MasterBates]

In short, Hummer/Orion guys need not apply.

 

[Harrier Dude]

Thanks, HAL.

Not sure I would want to live in a world where MB was "training" SNFOs.

 

[Uncle Fester]

Interesting that they're still bringing T-39 pilots aboard. I thought that sundown was fast approaching...? No?

 

[MasterBates]

Why not? Somebody has to fly the plane. I'm not going to work oil rigs forever.

How many people in the navy really have much turbojet time, or does turbofan time count, too?

That was my thought as well.

I'm gonna go with "yes;" I'm pretty sure it means turbojet in the Part 61 (pilot certification)* sense of the word.

In short, Hummer/Orion guys need not apply.

Nor helo bubbas... it's not already bad enough that I'll never make CAG



* This part came out sounding clumsy... but the point is in there somewhere.

By the strictest definition, Prowler pilots have lots of turbojet time. Good 'ole J-52 turbojet.


Anyone have any idea what the pay is like?

Last I knew, it was supposed to happens around 2015, but while the SNFO VT squadrons are still awaiting the T-45D VMTS, that date may slide to the right as with all new programs in the Navy.

Means probably far less than it used to, but there is still a tiny little bit of "being a CAG" that requires leading from the front...on the first strike of the first day (or night) of the campaign.

If that's the case.. Why are there E-2 CAGs?

I had a definite more "tip of the spear" feeling flying helos than Hummers. Both jobs are needed, vital, and I enjoyed both thoroughly.

But I had Torpedos, Missiles and Guns in a Helo. In the Hummer I could run, and try to hide.

"Command and Control" ...from a real-time "big picture/multi-source platform perspective" is a not insignificant part of air wing leadership.
Other than that, you and I are both out of it...so...peace.
