VERY true. More are coming to AFSOC to fly little planes, more UAV tours, more non-traditional fighter assignments than ever before...

When I went through UPT, height of the bank, no fighters and happy to get a plane. It wasn't instant, but I fell in love with the Herk mission. Not quite as sexy as the fast-jet boys (I really wanted A10s), but a versatile mission done every day. Then when I got the chance to come to AFSOC, it was even better.

I understand the little AFSOC planes will begin crossing guys into MC/AC variants soon...might be an option for a young fighter guy to consider.
