The lift and vortex performance that different airframes in the Soviet Union had in the 1980s caught the attention of the designers, and so there are engineering advances from what is now Russia that were used in designing and constructing the F-22 Raptor. Each of the Soviet Aircraft had specific flaws but the good parts of their design bring new factors to the operation of the F-22 Aircraft. The F-22 was first commissioned in 1981 as the next generation Air Force and US Military Jet Fighter, but it has been renamed both the F-22 Raptor and the multi force Strike ATF fighter. Few mechanics had ever seen an F-22 and there were no trained mechanics to work on it.
What is a Air Force Mechanic?
An Air Force F-22 Mechanic is a person who is specifically trained to perform both routine maintenance and periodic element and part replacement on the F-22 Aircraft. A person desiring to be an F-22 Mechanic first attends 9 weeks of basic training to become an Air Force Enlisted person. After boot camp, an Air Force F-22 mechanic is sent to advanced training school at the Filed Training Detachment located at Tyndall Air Force Base, or Nellis Air Force Base. A mechanic studies the overall F-22 Airframe, electronics systems, weapons systems, engine and flight control systems, as well as a host of other mechanical and technical systems. Mechanics often attend a pre mechanic school learning about other Air Force and United States military Airframes such as the F-14, F-16, and F-18, before studying about the systems present on the F-22 Raptor.

A mechanic will study from between 12 and 18 weeks to become minimally proficient in F-22 Raptor mechanical systems, and will undergo further training as they pursue a mechanical career in the Air Force. There are constantly updates and training to keep a person proficient with a particular Air Force Aircraft.

mechanics are deployed to Air Force Bases abroad, but they most likely will not see any combat, as it is not their trained specialty. |

Does each division of the military have mechanic openings? What skills are required before inlisting? And who should I talk to about this. Also, what is covered in the aptitude tests. |

Talk to your nearest Air Force recruter. Here is the short verson, you leave for basic for 8 1/2 weeks. then you will go straight to technical school to learn the very basics about aircrafts. From there you will be assigned to your first duty station. If you work the flight line expect long hours and working in the elements. If your in iso or a backshop you will be inside most of the time and your days will be more structured. It is not an easy way to make a living in the Air Force. If your not tough the flight line will chew you up and spit you back out. Let me know if you want more info. |

Hi Yolanda, I would google ‘air force mechanic’ and read all you can. Also research on the http://www.airforce.com website as the official air force should update any and all info re mechanics. Lastly, call your area recruiter and talk to him/her re this job. Insure your prospects of getting this school. Good luck and thank you for your interest in serving your country! |

Need a green card and/or us citizen. Politics are changing so you may want to contact your local designated recruiter. Best. lf |
