[@Eternal1811]

The “claiming disability” part killed me LOLLLL. Congrats to everyone :)

[@HoopesJohnC]

Poor Koki ast 23:30 has no idea what he'll be flying. :P

[@areyousure4777]

Lol so this is the airbase where they train the people piloting planes to refuel or carry equipment and personnel

[@lokilovestergaming9510]

Lots of them are electronic warfare and there was 1 gunship

[@ztriplex]

lol nobody is stoked to fly a C17

[@KC-UT4rmAZ]

I’d be pissed.

[@Jagers_propeller]

"snub-nosed C-5"

[@MBsmores]

I see so many hating on the cargo planes, like man it’s a plane, it can fly, it’s in the air. it’s not supersonic but it’s super epic

[@tristenparker6785]

Did they get a t6, do they have to go back to training?

[@oppotato5440]

They become a First Assignment Instructor Pilot

[@blackwatch6649]

They have to get trained as an instructor before actually teaching students.

[@geremi9656]

But if you what a fighter jet and you get a C17 or T6 is depressing no ?

[@jehusturbo]

​@geremi9656 After basic training they'll be graded and assigned to either fast jet or multi engine aircraft. So they have some sort of idea of what aircraft they get at drop night

[@alexanderwilliams1307]

Do they know ahead of time if they are going as a fighter pilot? I imagine training would be very different for an f15 vs c17 pilots

[@Simon_D01]

After flying T6s (Phase 2 of UPT), students select Tracks ( e.g T38 (Fighter/Bomber), T1 (Heavies) etc) which determine the aircraft group they will specialize in. So to answer your question, yeah they somewhat have an idea, preferences are considered but from my knowledge it mostly depends on their class ranking upon graduation and aircraft availability, in other words, needs of Air Force, that ultimately determine what they will fly.

[@Boujiehoodrat]

Imagine getting AC-130

[@nicholasploumis]

Personally I love the c-130 ig it’s the person

[@nicholasploumis]

Ac-130*

[@dehydratedwat3r]

what are these guys stoked about? is flying a transport plane like the easiest safest gig or something?

[@petechmielecki8496]

Some of those were special mission aircraft, a couple of them were Air Guard sponsored, so their type was determined by what their ANG squadron flew. The others, not so much the airframe, but the duty station.

[@YoSoyFefo]

So do you get to choose your plane? Or is it a roulette.

[@joserodrigo5595]

i think you are assigned one depending on your performance

[@Rook986]

You're assigned to either a fast jet or multi engine; you put in your top three preferences but no guarantee what you get. Its based on current operational needs.
