Fighter Pilot Stories: The Legacy of the A-10
Mike "Flash" McVay hosts episode 99 of @AfterburnDefense for a "Hawg" Bro Chat. "Flash" is joined by fellow A-10 pilots (although "Flash" has since abandoned them and moved onto the F-16 and now F-35). He is joined by Dan "Satan" Levy, Dan “Duffle” Lusardi, and Ridge “Kelso” Flick. They share their unique perspectives on the A-10 community, the culture, and the mindset of A-10 pilots. They discuss the importance of preserving the Hawg driver mentality and the need for experienced pilots to pass on their knowledge. They also touch on the changing landscape of warfare and the challenges faced by the next generation of pilots. 🎙️Afterburn Podcast Sponsors🎙️ Launch Your Aviation Career - BogiDope: https://bit.ly/BogiDope Secure Your Digital Identity - Aura: https://aura.com/afterburn E3 Aviation Association: https://bit.ly/E3Aviation Afterburn Podcast: https://www.theafterburnpodcast.com/ Join our free weekly newsletter for insights into aviation, defense, and geo-politics - https://bit.ly/AfterburnNewsletter 🚨Afterburn Podcast Links🚨 Newsletter - https://bit.ly/AfterburnNewsletter Contact - https://www.theafterburnpodcast.com/c...
