We are new to this. What is the typical "lifetime" of an AF pilot look like? DS wants a career, but I doubt the AF allows you to keep flying fighters after a certain age. Do you move to desk duty at some point? Or instructor? Or a whole different job with the military?
I assume once you stop flying the cool stuff in the military, pilots then transition to civilian airline or corporate pilot positions? I'm wondering the % of pilots who get to full pension. With the new hybrid retirement, it may make more sense to opt for the new offering.
