That's a fast-evolving program that's been realigned more times than I can count.
Isn't there a fleet of planes sitting rotting at Hondo, or are those the old Air Force Academy planes with the unknown engine problems?
I think in the mid 2000s they had a program where a candidate would train at their home of record with a local flight school for 25 hours, but after a while I believe they went back to a centralized screening school, possibly at Hondo again.
I saw advertisements in recent years for instructors to work in Colorado Springs as part of a GA initial training/screening operation. I got interest, but at the time I didn't want to move across the country for GA aircraft. That salary was pretty comfortable....
