akscott60 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 So I've been reading a lot of these threads and I'll be at Rucker in July and I'm curious. Why does everyone want the 47 so badly? I would figure more would want the 64... Because its awesome. It drives like a sports car and has literally unlimited power. We stay retarded busy in garrison, and the flight hours are still great. I am flying 10 hours a week if not more here at Bragg. The range of missions we do keep you busy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could get an AQC and on active duty, I'd take it... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without getting on any test flights I can go from 2 to 4, 6 if I'm really lucky. However didn't get to fly the last two weeks though on any training flights. Someone's gotta do the additional duties I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, no significant changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01CelicaGTS Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Maybe someone finally realized that the Army is in fact not going to be fielding M models to all units as quickly as they had predicted. Most of my class from flight school went to units with L or A+ Models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsey Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 The hell? They are giving out A/L slots? Then why am I going to an A/L unit, or is that the reason, for these cases? Very interesting. Oh and a Mike is like an A/L, except with a metric f*ckton of magic fairy dust and six cubic loads of Epic. Moving maps and FMS calculations are worth their weight in gold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
