The US Air Force's first F-16, a YF-16 prototype (#72-1567), was delivered to Edwards AFB on January 8th, 1974. In October of 1974, Defense Secretary James R. Schlesinger announced that the Pentagon was considering production of the winner of the ACF contest to satisfy USAF, Navy, and export requirements. The requirement explicitly called for a multirole fighter, so production ACF aircraft were to be fitted with a radar to give them a limited BVR capability. The multirole requirement also differentiated the ACF from the F-15 Eagle's pure air superiority role, easing Air Force fears that the ACF would sidetrack the F-15 program.\n\nOn January 13th, 1975, Air Force Secretary John McLucas announced that the YF-16 had been selected as the winner of the ACF contest. The Air Force placed a contract for fifteen FSD (Full-Scale Development) airframes, a number that was later reduced to 8 (6 F-16A/FSD's and 2 F-16B/FSD's). The first F-16A/FSD, #50745, was flown on December 8th, 1976.

The cutoff age for the Air Force is 28.  Believe me this I know for sure.  My husband joined at 27 and had to attend basic before he turned 28. The AF Reserves enlist until the age of 35.  I believe the Army and Navy Cutoff is 35, as well.  The Army and Nacy both offer the Montgomery GI Bill.  You can't use it for one year after enlisting.  You have to pay $100 per month for one year to be eligible for the GI BIll.  After the first year you can take classes up to a certain dollar amount per semester.

I went thru basic training at Lackland AFB on Oct 23,1983 the day after the Marines were bombed in Beruit. So there was stuff going on in the world then too. I went in with a guaranteed contract to go to Kessler AFB for air traffic control and the day my orders were cut graduation day I was wisked away from flight and put on a bus with no one else from my flight to a Top Secret base. The time I spent was great and the USAF is the way to go. If you think your a hero and want combat training join the Marines or Army.

Uh, a Boeing DID  crash into the Pentagon.  My sisters' friend's uncle had just left that part of the Pentagon to get coffee (or something) when the plane hit.  He's was lucky.

No offense. F-22 Raptor, capabilities classified of course.\nStick jockeys not engaging in "dogfights" today son; stand off aerial combat. Weapons specialists are now TOP GUNS.\nRussians also way ahead in ground/low orbit satellite laser technology.\nTo answer your real ?. F-14 more aerodynamically suited for "balls to the wall" showdown.

I'm in the Air Force, but I dont understand your question.  What exactly are you asking?

Hey Congratulations. I myself leave for USAF BMT August 1st, 2006. I will be seeing you a week later I guess. I have done a whole lot of research on the Air Force, and lifestyles and such. It seems to be an awesome program to go into, as long as yyou don't mind always being under other people's command, but you will get that with any branch. You made a smart decision, but remember, the USAF is not right for everyone, you will determine that maybe within your first year to year and a half. I am also DEP commander for my unit in Eastpointe, MI. If you need to know ANYTHING about the Air Force, contact me, and I guarantee I will get you an honest answer. Til then, I'll probably see your Rainbow Flight at Lackland when you get there.
