You know what's funny? When I was flying KC135's there in 1984, they were talking about a replacement and the 767 was mentioned. I was hoping it would happen before I got out.

Who knew it would only take another 35 years to find a replacement for jets built in...1956!

Hey, if they fly a KC135 out to Osh Kosh, do they get to park it in the Antique area?

Everyone is desperate for pilots now. Hell my unit figured out my DSJA had a private license and was within waivable age and tried to pull him over to the ops group. A few years ago AFRC realized how many UPT slots they were losing because units could not fill them and started its own unsponsored board so AFRC sends you to OTS and UPT and you are assigned to a unit by track select. If you want info on that program pm me. If it were my kid I would be sending them to a unit to rush though.

Homestead has Vipers as well if he's looking to stay in FL. Guardreservejobs has some postings, but most units just seem to advertise on their unit website or some not at all. Try putting this into google:

site:af.mil UPT 2016

Units currently hiring that I can think of off the top of my head (only really know about fighter units though, sorry):
Oregon (Eagles)
South Dakota (Vipers)
Fresno (Eagles)
South Carolina (Vipers)
Missouri AFRC (A-10's)

Having open app windows soon:
Duluth (Vipers)
Madison (Vipers)
Vermont (Vipers)

I just spent a couple years going through the process of getting hired so if you have any questions feel free to shoot me a PM if you'd like.

baseops.net might be a good source as well!

For finding what aircraft are at what bases, yet it would be.
(BTW... "Oshkosh" is one word. It's a city, not a children's clothing brand)

The Air Force Association recently put the magazine out for free online viewing to all, regardless of membership. The annual almanac issue in May has the most complete listing of AF installations for active, guard and reserve

Oh yeah, that's right!

I have 4 kids and they did wear some of that stuff, no wonder I got confused!

(well, that, and old age!)

Also look into baseops.net think there's a jobs section that units post openings.
