    Hundreds of Army aviation officers who were set to leave the military are being held to another three years of service after they say the branch quietly reinterpreted part of their contract amid retention and recruitment issues.

    The shift has sparked an uproar among the more than 600 affected active-duty commissioned officers, including some who say their plans to start families, launch businesses and begin their civilian lives have been suddenly derailed.
     
    Meanwhile, another issue with Army aviators:

    On Friday, the Army’s top officer ordered a safety stand-down and grounded all non-critical helicopter units.

    AP reports, “The suspension of air operations was effective immediately, with units grounded until they complete the training, said Lt. Col. Terence Kelley, an Army spokesperson. For active-duty units, the training is to take place between May 1 and 5. Army National Guard and Reserve units will have until May 31 to complete.”

    On a brighter note, the new T-7A Red Hawk trainer has been delayed.


    Apparently, the new aircraft, designed to better accommodate women and a wider range of body types, is having difficulty with the ejection seat...

    men, we aren't saying you CAN'T fly the F35; we are saying, that you are above the 5'5 height requirement in order for you to fit in the seat.

    Because when they hear the word "seat" they automatically want to use the word "injection".

    Buncha fart knocking rump rangers.

    Interesting. I guess Carson didn't get the memo. Steady flow of Blackhawks and chinooks through the canyon hasn't stopped.

    As usual performative taskers to help us feel like we‘re doing something to address the cause of the accidents. Newsflash, RTAG and the commercial airline world have made it too sweet a deal to leave active duty by any means. Better pay and you know when you’re going to be gone? Nice. The lack of experience within our RW fleet is showing. We’ve been here before. Just look at the accident rate after the early-mid 90’s drawdown. Sad.

    Boeing partnered with SAAB and getting parts is a big part of the delay. Remember that time in 20/21 everyone decided to shut down their economies over the bat virus. That is bitting them in the ass here.

    I wonder and this is pure speculation, that the F-35 sucking up potential Gripen sales is one of the reasons for the partnership. There are already US partner nations that have the T-50( South Korea ) and Aermacchi M-346(Italy) which do basically the same thing and are already mature designs. Its just a trainer, it doesn't need to be ground breaking. Being as we are stepping on Saab dick big time they are kicking this project back to the Swedes to pacify them, as the F-35 basically killed billions in Gripen sales.

    I think the "its for the women" ejection seat thing is fluff. The stated issue is the deceleration parachute on the seat pulls too many G for a light person, potentially causing a conlcussion. I here rumors its not a seat problem but was a sensor issue in the test dummy.

    But it sounds really progressive... we are making it safe... you know, for the women. In a jet that got its name from the Tuskegee airmen.
     
    The Tuskegee airmen coined the term “F-35” way back in the ’40’s? Next thing you know your revisionist history will show only colored aces in WWII.

    Those airmen were good Pilots.

    Just like to add my grandpa was army aircore, from a small podunk town not far from Tuskegee, grew up picking peanuts and cotton. He was also pushed out of the airforce in 57 for canvassing predominantly black neighborhoods, to get them to vote.

    Air Force is definitely trying to revision their racist roots.

    You can fight and die… but you’s aints allowed to vote.
