@aviationman212 No. You have to be fighter qualified to get fighters. You need to do certain things like the 7.5 G centrifuge profile...and complete T-38 training to be fighter qual'ed.
The point of these videos is to highlight those facets of " the life" one would find enviable by others. T-1 track videos focus on places and activities accomplished above and beyond the act of flying, whereas T-38 dudes focus exclusively on highlighting the act of flying a sonic afterburning trainer and tactical formation flying. I can't help but think that trend can't be very complimentary to T-1 flying. If I wanted Texas BBQ that bad, i can just go on delta.com. What's enviable about that?
@Shinkajo I have seen women handle more Gs than men so you cant say that they shouldnt be allowed to fly. If they worked hard and got the spot they obviously deserved it over the man..
@Shinkajo pretty sexist hey?. you get beat by a girl or a guy, you just don't have the stuff doesn't matter if its a guy or girl. id rather have a good pilot whose a girl on my wing than a guy who cant fly for shit.
@MrGoojoo It depends on if you are in the top of your class in pilot training. The top of the class gets fighter pilot spots and the lower gets whatever is left...
i want to be a fighter pilot when im older. just wondering what kind of grades did you make in high school? i make a's and b's but some one told me all a's can only get you there. is that true?
its got nothing to do with high school man. i don't know which way you're planning on going, but i'm in rotc and there it is a lot about your grades. you have to compete with your peers for a pilot slot, and college gpa is a big deal. your commander's ranking of you is the largest percentage, but he's gonna look at your grades anyways. just work hard in college.
Study aeronautics. But fighter pilots are all military trained. Apply to a military academy or join ROTC in college. Flight is one of the most desired and therefore one of the most competitive fields. If you're serious about doing it good luck.
Take your math courses seriously. Go to college and get into a good aeronautical program. Or a better way (in my opinion) apply for the Naval academy. As long as you pass the flight physical and aptitude test you'll be on track.
I hope all the UAV drops are done by the time I get through with UPT.
But all three videos very nice. I got my slot for FY 10 and I can't stop watching all of these videos online. Damn I keep getting distracted from my HW because of these...
sorry you did not get jets

Girls shouldn't be allowed to become pilots, they are weaker and steal men's places.
