Ever wonder what it takes to become an F-22 Raptor pilot? This video focuses on the incredible journey of Lt. Col. Clayton Percle as he goes from civilian to the first pilot in the US Air Force to achieve 1000 hours flying the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. Hear how Lt. Col. Percle overcame injury and the odds to achieve his dreams of becoming a fighter pilot!

Amazing story! The clip from assignment night when he received an F-15 pilot training slot was super cool. I can't imagine how great the feeling would be to finish all that work in ROTC and then also find out you're going to be a fighter pilot.

That is exactly what the 95% of the guys who don't get fighter slots say too.

" they think their right." If you can't handle basic grammar on KZfaq, you think the USAF will let you play with a $339 million jet?

Is it possibly to start UPT after age 30, specifically for prior military?
@Megalodon64 7 жыл бұрын
You must be in UPT by the time you are 29. You can waiver it though.
@keymind117 6 жыл бұрын
Always remember there is a waiver for everything in the military, a B-52 pilot who also specializes in flight medicine told me this, but remember that since the Air Force might go a little out of their way for you, be prepared to bust your ass working for that slot.

In the Army yes, Air Force no...
@mississippirebel1409 5 жыл бұрын
NO! The only thing a Warrant Officer can fly is a helicopter. I spent over 10 yrs in the US army, my older brother is a Major in the air force and flies the F-15E.
