I'm guessing a LOX retrofit will be a lot harder than on the Hornets.

In the original two-seat BAe Hawk there is a large oxygen bottle mounted vertically behind the aft pressure bulkhead on the left side. Think about two feet behind the rear-seater's left shoulder blade. I believe this would be late 70s vintage. There are multiple safe, relatively quick and inexpensive solutions to get the a/c flying again until a final fix is implemented - which most likely will not involve OBOGS.

Any goshawk instructor: what's the current timeline on basic IUT completion for mod 0-1? The guidance published online states about 70 calendar days for TW-1, 68 for TW-2. If the jets weren't all down/restricted, how long is the typical IUT in calendar days?
My two year obligation would start one I qualify. I want to get out as soon as possible.
What's your opinion regarding heading to training command to rack up flight time before applying for a major? Is it worth adding 6-8 months to my commitment to get time in Meridian, or get out without currency and only 1350 total hous?

FWIW - I'm a desk jockey staff guy that sits through daily briefings on this subject. I'm not in the squadrons but I'm probably seeing the info long before they get briefed.
