Tell that to the old USMC guys that use to get OV-10s out of the Strike pipeline!Originally Posted by 4 Fan Trashcan
This is true, they have dropped a few U-28's out of the -38 track. I've wondered the same thing myself, as there are more than a few bubbas from my Herk squadron down who've left to go fly it too. I can only guess that the mission is evolving, and that is driving the need for guys right out of UPT with single-seat experience. One can only wonder if that helps in the decision process come track select time...hmmm, go -38's these days and you have a good chance of not getting a fighter.
Oh well....at least it had some great missions and the guys flying it had a blast. there are even some on APC here that might chime in.USMCFLYR
PS. And don't forget the E-6A guys that come out of the strike pipeline either. Now that has to be a change in training.
