The hotrod of fighter jets. Go fast and turn fast. It is cool as heck that you flew that many different block numbers of the F-16. Did they ever resolve the lack luster rudder control performance when in a vertical? I knew a few elite active component Navy reserve pilots (NSAWC pilots) that said once you got the Falcon into a vertical that rudder control was pretty much gone. They loved forcing the Falcons into a vertical because they were pretty much a sitting duck then. With then vert stab and rudder being so small, that was a lot of the problem. The closest I ever got was taking a F/A-18 to the high power pad with nothing more than a 50,000 lb thrust rated chain holding me in place. I got to do it on the ship a few times also.

Well just met my solo cross country minimum hour requirement! I did the 3 cross countries, but finished them in 6.3 hours and I needed 8.5 I believe. So did my last one from KAUO-KCTJ-KSCD-KAUO.
I now have two more lessons to review all my maneuvers and I'm in for my checkride!!!

If your are dumb enough to get slow vs a Hornet then you deserve to die(simulated of course). I have fought countless hornets and if you stay above about 300KIAS and flare off their AIM-9 shots then you know when they are slow and when you have exclusive use of the vertical. I.E. beat them down on airspeed then climb in full AB to about 10,000 above them. Pirouette down from on high and they will lose every time. Its the young guys who get impatient and get slow vs a Hornet that get their asses handed to them. I learned early on not to do that!

Tcat it seems you've done your homework. Hopefully the airline industry will start to rebound and start sucking up more pilots. As long as gas prices stay where they are its going to be tough. I've noticed that most of the flights I've been on in the last couple years are almost always completely full. So they must be making some money.
Something I forgot about is that the military is keeping pilots longer. Whenever the industry picks back up some of them will be jumping ship. Unfortunately, they have the advantage over those of us that had to pay our way. Everyday I wish I could have passed the Air Force flight physical, but its something us civilian pilots have to deal with.
