Default ANG/AFR units and equipment?

My 23yr old son is interested in joining a Guard unit or an Air Force Reserve unit. I was a Guard pilot but that was before Al Gore invented the internet. We have been surfing the internet looking for flying units/locations/aircraft types but can't find any lists of who fly what and where. Does such a list or web site exist?

We are in central Florida, the only flying unit I can find is in Jacksonville, (F15's?). I had thought there was a KC135 reserve unit in Tampa too, but can't find any info on it.

Any ideas on where I can get more/better info would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Timbo,

Try this

Units

Congrats on his new ambition. I've met Randy Bright, the Wing King but no pull--way too long ago.

There's a recent post........"come fly tankers in tampa"
Come fly tankers in Tampa - GuardReserveJobs

Most efficient way is to go visit on all drill weekends leading up to the interview board.

There are plenty other sq's across the country with openings............ Home - US National Guard and Reserve
