Not true Rickair.
If he did one tour in 16's then an exchange in 18's and subsequently back to the USAF/ANG/Res, he could then be flying 22's in one of three units by now (Tyndal, Langley or Elmendorf). All three of those units have some sort of associate ANG/Reserve component so our theoretical pilot could be AD or Total-Force.
Probable; No. Possible; yes.
That's what Moose meant

If the guy does exist and is flying Raptors my guess would be this: AF AD flying Vipers as a youngster with a tour in Test either at China Lake or Pax(non deploying exchange-we send Navy guys to WPAFB and Edwards Test) and now flying Raptors.
True you don't need to fly OPFOR if you're Navy and have time in the F-16, but if you're Navy and didn't do an exchange, the only way you flew F-16s was as an Adversary or as a Test Pilot flying at Edwards. Our F-16s are now in Fallon, they used to be at Oceana and Key West a few years back.

Think he's at Pinnacle, all of his posts are in the regional forum. He said he stood up an interview at Piedmont but "that's ok, Im going to Pinnacle anyway." I just wouldn't think a guy with those 'supposed' qualifications would go to a regional... but each to their own I suppose. If you ask me, I think he is full of ****...
I've never been in the military, but I have the highest respect for you guys that serve our country and keep us safe. Thank you guys and gals for all that you do. You definitely have a right to confront this guy about his listed experience.

Suprisingly, the PROPER words to Mary Anne Burns are not.
You are correct that concievably a former Navy/Marine guy hired by the VANG could be now flying F-22's. That's a pretty small pool of dudes.
Still makes me wonder why he would be posting in the Regional Section and not haunting the military section. Somebody with that type of experience is probably not looking at getting a job in the regionals.

I've know guys that flew a variety of military high performance aircraft. All were test pilots; the F-16/F-18/F-22 pilot is "spoofing" us. I wonder if he has taken time off from his regional FO job to fly the F-35 demo at the Paris Air SHow ?

He said he was offered the F-35 demo slot but he is to busy in his spare time getting ready to fly this....
