The head of the Air Force Reserve, Lt. Gen. John Bradley now can claim a feat rarely accomplished by career fighter pilots, he has accumulated 7,000 flying hours. An Air Force Reserve Command release says Bradley’s feat is nearly twice the hours that an average career fighter pilot accumulates. And, Bradley intends to keep flying F-16s until his retirement in summer 2008.
The last remaining T-1 Jayhawk at JBSA-Randolph, Texas, took its final flight to the "Boneyard" at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., on July 15. The 99th Flying Training Squadron will train pilots using T-6 and simulator until it gets T-7 Red Hawk in fiscal 2026.
