F-22; F-15 C/D; F-15E; F-16 C/D; A-10C; HH-60G; B-1B; B-2; B-52; E-3B/C/G; SE-4B; EC-130H; OC-135B; RC-135S; RC-135U; RC-135V/W; TC-135W; WC-135C/W

Not one UAV (sorry RPA...I think), tanker, or slick transport type listed. Does that mean modern air combat is now favoring these types of aircraft?

Please don't take it personal if you have flown/are flying these types. I'm just asking a big picture question. Things are changing. The latest issue of Naval Aviation News reports X-47 carrier deck handling tests, an old sister squadron of mine now flying P-8's, and the "Big E" has decommissioned.

Civil Air Patrol has a new program called, "Cyberpatriot". 20 years ago, I soloed a CAP Cessna during a solo orientation camp. Today, the organization is focused on: "CyberPatriot is the premier national high school cyber defense competition that is designed to give hands on exposure to the foundations of cyber security."

We are now living yesterday's future.
