Hasegawa H35007 1/72 U.S. Pilot Ground Crew Set
The United States Armed Forces are currently the most powerful and strongest military in the world, with an active personnel of about 1.36 million people and a budget of about $686 billion in 2018. One of their most important components is the United States Air Force (USAF), which became an independent branch of the armed forces in 1947. They are currently considered the most powerful and modern air force in the world. They currently have a total of over 5,300 aircraft, and about 320,000 professional soldiers and about 142,000 civilian employees serve in them. In addition, there are about 69,000 reserve members and about 106,000 National Guard reservists. Every member of the USAF, including future ground personnel, undergoes Basic Military Training (BMT), which lasts 8.5 weeks. This is followed by further specialist training, which makes the future USAF soldier a specialist in a given field. It is worth adding that the time of specialist training can vary from 4-5 weeks to 52 weeks. As an interesting fact, an aircraft mechanic serving in the USAF earns from 25 to as much as 63 thousand dollars per year, and an on-board electronics serviceman/mechanic - from 27 to 62 thousand dollars per year. Such large differences result from experience, years of service, work in the country or in combat conditions, etc.
Includes
- Driver figure, Chevrolet Crew van, flightline fire extinguishers, Maintenance Aircraft, F-15 aircraft boarding ladder, pilot figures, Military Police, Handyman flight bags, Toolboxes
