The only thing better than that is flying the C-40 out here at Hickam Our mins our MDS IP and about 1500 hrs. Should be a spot or 2 opening up in the Spring. We are short on pilots in the C-40 also, as is Andrews, a bunch of their IPs just took the VSP and left for SWA.

If that doesn't tell you how bad things have gotten in the AF, out of 9 pilots in our jet, 5 applied for VSP, 2 got picked up, one of which a year before his commitment ended. One ended up Palace Chasing only a year after he got here! Two of them went to SWA, one to KC-135 ANG, the other to C-17 AFRC. So even in Hawaii flying a BBJ and not deployed...a dream assignment for most...guys are still sick of putting up with the way things are in the AF and punching. Not quite sure when the clue bug is gonna bite?
