Described as "A new squadron to handle AFSOC's growing mission of
flying small, civilian-style aircraft to carry special operations
troops without attracting the attention that a C-130 does. "
So we can be flying a "warbird" and not even know it!
However, talk about bursting a pilot's bubble: "After your rigorous
three million-dollar flight training starting from the Air Force
Academy, we've got your assignment--the Cessna 172!"
Ahem!...
