Are you flying Cobra's out of MCAS Camp Pendleton? Seen the Cobra in your sig., just curious..Did 2 1/2yrs at the control tower there, loved it. Now I'm up here on the civilian side dealing with the Air Force. We see a guy about once a month or so fly in with a T-6 and usually a newbie on board, I believe he said from Beeville? Comes up to visit and get the flight time. Gotta love those Carrier Breaks..:rockon:FLYIN said:Good deal. They have any T-6's up at Whiting yet? I know they got them for the NFO's at NAS Pensacola. I did my primary out at Vance AFB in the T-37 Tweet. I think they have completely transitioned to T-6's now. I don't think the JSF is coming anytime too soon. I am sure your selection sheet options if you go strike pipeline will be Harriers, Prowlers, and Hornets. As far as Hornets out of flight school you don't find out if you fly Deltas or Charlies until you complete the RAG. Enjoy flight school though, it was a great time for me. Definately though good luck with the grades and flights. I think as long as you get the required NSS they still have plenty of jet slots to go around. Hope your in Meridian or Kingsville soon.

thats a pretty old sidewinder there, most likely an aim9m, not the new aim9x's which are the badboys, they need to get with the program!
F-15 Crew Chief here, been working on them 10 years stationed down here at Eglin, in the SQ that got the most air to air kills in the 1st Gulf War. Some of those jets are still here but most have been transfered.
Ive rode in a F-15 and can honestly say the acceleration is nothing crazy, the G's on the otherhand are another story, hold the Fugg on hahah. I think I handled 8.3G's....
Best part of my day when I can do something like this, which I am qualified to do wooohoooooo, this is a video from my buddy back in alaska, which i was stationed there. E-Model with Pratt Whitney 229's....

FACs rock! Pendleton was cool. i was stationed there right around the 2003 time frame. 22 area, right across from MAG-39 which i assume you were in.FLYIN said:Haven't flown since last August (I was out of Pendleton, will be again next Fall), I am doing my ground tour right now as a Forward Air Controller (FAC).
twstdsvt said:Idk about that, both my grandparents flew fighters in WWII, jets > helos unless I get to fly a commanche :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
What squadrons were you guys with at Camp Pendleton? I like that National Guard video, sounds like they enjoyed the show..customperforman said:FACs rock! Pendleton was cool. i was stationed there right around the 2003 time frame. 22 area, right across from MAG-39 which i assume you were in.

The JSF which is the X-35 will be coming to Eglin it will a joint base involving navy, marines, airforce, all the vertical takeoff models, carrier based and land based will be stationed here, the 1st deployable JSF SQ's will be from Eglin, as well as all the training sq's will be located here. The pensacola/Destin/Crestview infastructure needs to get with the program so that the local community can support the influx of personel that will be stationed here.
The F-22 is a bad mofo, few have lost in air/air combat during training, one has been gunned down that is about it.
Nice pics!
