I'm afraid that buy the time you get to be a pilot in the USAF most (if not all) of the F-16 will be rotting away in the Davis-Monthan "storage" facility or being shot at as targets. At least if you do become a pilot you'll be flying the bigger and better F-35 Lightning II.

However given his age, he could be piloting for the military in 10 years or less. If all goes as planned, the F 35 is due to begin replacing the F-16s, AV-8s and earlier model F-18s in 2011. I look for Congress to mess this up. If they don't, with these going to each branch, I would imagine the phase in/out will take 10 years.

RE: Very Bad Luck
after reading these posts all i can say is wow, i am 16 and i wish people (parents) would show more support for my hobby. i started out at 14 with a hobbico nexstar. after it suffered from several unplaned impacts i started building spads www.spadworld.net , last year i took an intrest in 3d and as a result destroyed 2 spa3ds. i can now fly 3d with the best pilots in our club. i am no longer interested in 3d and am currently building a giant scale aerobat. in my opinion it doesn't matter what types of planes that they fly, it is just a blessing to see more young people involved in this hobby.
i wish you good maiden flight, and i would like to thank all of you that helped tony out.

. Even if it doesn't go to plan (which it probably wont) They would be recruiting JSF pilots in ten years from now.

Tony,
My oldest son flies F-16's for the USAF. He loves the aircraft. You can send me a PM and I'll get you in touch with him to answer all of your questions. Keep after your private ticket. Your new R/C aircraft looks great. Good Luck.

RE: Very Bad Luck
I have been watching this thread since the start and I would like to say that those of you that contributed are the true examples of what we all should be like. If you have the means to help someone in need then step up and help them. I salute all of you.
Tony, always remember this when you come across someone in need and you have the means to help them.
I salute you as well for your enthusiasm and gratitude towards flying and the people that have helped you.
I would like to offer you some advice. If flying in the military is what you want, then go for it! I was 16 when I started flying full scale aircraft, but I gave it up after I graduated high school. (I went to military high school and they had a flight program and owned their own airplane) I didn't pursue my dream and now, twenty years later, every time I see an airplane-I wish I had. Just don't lose sight of what you really want, like I did!
Congrats on your new plane, and may God bless all of you.
Jason

What Date you asked??? Simple........The Year,month, day,hour and second that that bird is going to die!!! It's a sad truth, I know.......but thats the way it is...........
So if you really want to enjoy that new bird of yours, you have to........
FLY IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT!!!!!

RE: Very Bad Luck
Great news. After a couple of flights youll probably get your confidence back and be flying better than ever. I know how you feel about flying with so many other people. On sat I was flying my PC-9 along with 8 others! Almost everyone was running out of fuel and whenever someone did land they did it hard killed the engine and we all had to wait until the runway was clear. Eventually my engine died but considering at that time there were still about 6 people flying i couldn't hear it and only noticed when my nose started to drop at full throttle [X(]. At least then I had priority to land and i got it back safely.

RE: Very Bad Luck
Congratulations Tony! Enjoy the plane. You have accomplished every goal set out for you and finally, IMHO, you should be able to enjoy the plane without feeling the pressure of posting pictures. Have fun and keep up the good work. One of the many things which can be learned throughout all of this is that there are still good people in the world. Many, many good people. I sincerely wish you luck in your journey towards becoming an Air Force Pilot. Someday, when you are thinking about what a bad day it was, think back on this and remember that it's not always the big things that matter. Sometimes it's the little stuff.

Tony if you want to be a real pilot join the Marines and fly the FA-18 A much better plane and in the corps you get a call sign the AirFarce doesn't do that. Great with the plane enjoy it and not to worry about the pics.

RE: Very Bad Luck
Rcpwnage,
I am so glad to hear it! Keep recruiting because you can rest assured that at some point, you will have the opportunity to work with a pilot like Tony. Responsible, mature, driven, goal oriented and actually quite a nice young person. By helping to instruct new people and make them feel welcome, you will be doing more than you realize. Once people are bitten by the bug, it will last a lifetime. If you take the time to ask around, you will be suprised how many people wanted to do this when they were younger and actually had or saw an R/C plane or even a C/L plane and were fascinated by it. The spark is there in many younger people. The key is not to let it go out. In our hustle and bustle world we often forget the benifits of being able to relax and forget the stress. This hobby provides all of us, young and old, with an absolute release for stress as well a chance to meet new people. Keep up the good work and let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Eric

RE: Very Bad Luck
I was referring to the part where you said most or all of the F-16s would be on the scrap pile. There will be a need for moe F-16 pilots if the phase process is interrupted as was the A-2, the B-1, the B-70 and so on.
ORIGINAL: Trundle
Yes that is true but if the phase in/out process takes 10 years and it starts in 2011 and Tony starts flying in 10 years time they will already be half way thorough the phase in/out process so I doubt they will be recruiting any more F-16 pilots. Besides who is gonna be stupid enough to want to fly one of those if you could hop in a F-35 . Even if it doesn't go to plan (which it probably wont) They would be recruiting JSF pilots in ten years from now.

RE: Very Bad Luck
Air Force Fighter Pilots have "Call Signs". I don't believe the F-18 is superior to the F-16, as I know of a couple of occassions where a USAF pilot came out on top with his F-16 over a US Marine/Navy pilot and his F-18. While both aircraft are top notch, each has its role and often the pilot is the determining factor in which aircraft is better. Sea duty can be long and frustrating for USMC/Naval Aviators. USAF pilots are back on Terra Firma after a mission. What one becomes depends on the life style they prefer. No matter which branch one is in, the hours are long and grueling. Flying is just a small part of a day in a fighter pilot's life.

Rcpwnage,
I am so glad to hear it! Keep recruiting because you can rest assured that at some point, you will have the opportunity to work with a pilot like Tony. Responsible, mature, driven, goal oriented and actually quite a nice young person. By helping to instruct new people and make them feel welcome, you will be doing more than you realize. Once people are bitten by the bug, it will last a lifetime. If you take the time to ask around, you will be suprised how many people wanted to do this when they were younger and actually had or saw an R/C plane or even a C/L plane and were fascinated by it. The spark is there in many younger people. The key is not to let it go out. In our hustle and bustle world we often forget the benifits of being able to relax and forget the stress. This hobby provides all of us, young and old, with an absolute release for stress as well a chance to meet new people. Keep up the good work and let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
