The running joke about the Super Hornet is that it is a “jack of all trades, and master of none”. The truth is that the Hornet and specifically the Super Hornet has been required to replace the F-14 Tomcat, the S-3 Viking and the A-6 Intruder. That required the Super Hornet to effectively satisfy the mission sets of three aircraft. Boeing was responsible for ensuring that the airframe could handle that challenge, and succeeded in most cases. What Boeing was not contracted to solve, however, was how to ensure aircrew maintained proficiency in the required mission sets. Exacerbating the issue are the resource and hour limitations that fleet squadrons are currently experiencing. Hazard Reports (HAZREPs) and Safety Investigation Reports (SIRs)…

Attaining a squadron competitive advantage is not possible; however, pursuing excellence is. Consequently, the squadron is reliant on people and…

The reason why the squadron is, in General Goldfein’s words “the beating heart of the United States Air Force,” is simply because much like the heart without it the life blood would not be able to pump in order for the body to function as needed. Now the life blood of the Air Force is our ability to Fly, Fight, and Win, but that is the big Air Force answer. The life blood of the squadron is morale, and bad morale is like leukemia. Firsthand experience has shown what good morale can do in places…

to a space station. Ender was very surprised about some things when he got sent to the space station. Ender was the smartest kid in his class but after meeting the other recruits, he was surprised to learn that the recruits were not even the same ballpark has him.
