TheyJammedKenny! Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 From the looks of the parts, it appears the cabin floor stretches back beyond the door threshold and includes both a cabin partition and an observer's / student's seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheyJammedKenny! Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 "LOBO FAIP." How cute. For the uninitiated, FAIP = "first assignment instructor pilot," in other words, one risk of doing well in undergraduate pilot training is being called upon to be an instructor pilot for one's first flying assignment. This is not a coveted position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter O Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) I'll definitely be getting the LOBO FAIP. I photographed that aircraft at the 2021 Pease ANGB airshow. (I tried to attach a photo, but I get "The link could not be embedded because of an unexpected error: Forbidden: "Something went wrong. Please try again.".") I'm surprised the pilot was a FAIP though, since the name under the cockpit is Capt Jarod Washington. I would think a FAIP would be a 2Lt or 1Lt. As a USAF vet I hate to say this, but it looks very USN with the black tail and skull and crossbones.

Totally agree! This is a Squid thing. LOL! As for FAIPs, they come in all shapes and sizes. You normally pin-on captain at your four-year point from date of rank (DOR). Depending on the amount of time you spent on "casual" status between commissioning and your first report, the USAF picks an arbitrary date somewhere in between, and that becomes the DOR. UPT lasts 12 months. It is possible that someone would enter UPT after crossing over from another career track. I knew non-rated officers who "put in their papers" after four years and became pilots. They were highly motivated in a way I was not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Some further research shows that the FAIP scheme doesn't denote an actual FAIP pilot/instructor. Apparently each FTS has one Jayhawk painted in a commemorative or special scheme, and this one is from the 86th FTS at Laughlin AFB, TX. This scheme was from 2021/2022, and has been changed this year. There are also at least two OD over Neutral Gray aircraft, one with invasion stripes, as well as overall AMC Gray. Caracal will have plenty of choices for their upcoming set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
