The problems of selecting and training pilots for the tactical air forces is the main focus of this study. A history of the fighter training process is provided as background information to the development of the Lead-in Fighter Training (LIFT) program currently in operation at Holloman AFB, New Mexico. The pilot selection process for fighter pilots is described and three major flaws in the system are outlined. The author's solution to these problems is to expand the LIFT program. The expanded program and the advantages gained by the expansion are discussed in some detail. In addition, the formation of a new Tactical Fighter Training Center is recommended to include the expanded LIFT program and Tactical Air Command's Aggressor operation currently located at Nellis AFB, Nevada. The last chapter describes the new multi-role fighter/training aircraft required for the operation and highlights the benefits of such a procurement to the tactical air forces.
