The fact is that his 2000 hours of UAV operation is minimal
How does my "2000+ hours" of UAV experience compare to the Unit, USAF, or Contractor average?

Son, 2000+ hours, with 350+ LR events Commanding a Detachment on a Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan equates to over four years of RPA "experience". Again, how does that time, & experience compare to the normal 2nd LT, 1st LT, or Captain in the Air Force performing the mission?

Please refrain from stating your "facts", that are not "factually correct".

only be remotely possible for him to have a "career event" during that short time.
I've just returned from Afghanistan & am personally responsible for recovering ELEVEN (11) "career events", without loss to AF assets.

Next, "made-up" fact please?


A high cycle UAV running an airline schedule WILL have these issues on an incredibly higher basis.
These "high cycle" UAV's that the airlines use, I guarantee you wouldn't be operated at the hours the military demands from them.

Do you even have a guess at how many hours the AF puts on these airframes, or is speculation turned into "fact" in your mind?

Have a nice day,
