That’s great Air Force PR kool aid which, as usual, doesn’t have much to do with reality. Those pilots still need to be requal’d on ordinance delivery which will take much longer than 72 hours.

Look at my post #520 again. Where does it say the pilots are combat-ready in less than 72 hours?

"If required, the team's personnel and aircraft can be rapidly integrated into a fighter unit at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev. Since the aircraft are only slightly modified, they can be made combat-ready in less than 72 hours."

Well at least this time you didn't confuse the "Blues" with the Thunderbirds.
