Has anyone heard of the ARCHER Program? If so what is it?



BTW: Not sure if it went in General or Ops.

Using the search feature will turn up a lot of threads here dealing with ARCHER.

The last that I heard was that fewer than six ARCHER units were still operational, out of the sixteen originally purchased.  Ballast is a good term: hope that most Regions have removed them from the airplanes and stored them for future disposition.  I am sure that the AF really appreciates the nearly $20 million that was spent on the units and the airplanes.

Supposedly fewer and fewer. Currently only 9 of the 16 systems are still functional/installed. CAWG gave theirs away (GA-8 + system) because it was such a dog.

You're being unkind to dogs.  Dogs are useful.

Not really. Even that has a use.
