Flight Lessons

I'm curious how Air Force/Navy pilots get their wings? Do they go to some place like Emory-Riddle and fly Cessna 172s. Do they get
instrument ratings in these 172s? What's the transition to 'real iron'?

Basically, what's a newly minted Air Force/Navy pilot's logbook look like and where did he got those hours?

This page is a good example of ROTC training

Much Thanks. Did you notice the picture is a C-152 and the text says everyone train in a C-172?

USN gets about 60 hours primary training in T-34C (or USAF T-37 ... its a
joint world). If he's a strike student, he continues with intermediate in
the T-2 and advanced in the T-45 OR just a combined strike syllabus in T-45
only. (T-2 will retire next year.) He'll accumulate maybe 275 hours in the
primary/intermediate/advanced syllabus ... about 250 or so in the T-45 only
program.

Students may have prior time (I've seen 'em with up to 1500 hours civilian
time) but its not required. Previous experience usually helps until about
half way through. All the Cessna time in the world won't matter when they
start doing formation, tac forms, weaps, acm, etc.

You're choosing to focus on aspects that YOU happen to be familiar
with

That is totaly true. But this would be a better NG if everyone else did the
same.

Thanks for brightening my morning.

all the best -- Dan Ford

What's this, a drive-by shooting after I tore your argument apart

Murphy attacks, things break, power supplies don't..
Try 14+ hours McChord to HI, daylight, nothing worked, even the sextant had a
split bubble, it is too late to get out the book and read. You better have
learned it in training, whatever crew position you hold.

And it was a FREAKING check ride!

Lol....

Give me a chart/map, water compass and a watch and I'll manage.

I never ceased to be amazed at the panic that sets in when a guy loses
his navaids.

Maybe good old-fashioned dead reckoning is becoming a lost art.....
