Classic
Mike Peterson (Tung) great episode.
More.
There will never be enough content about The Big Fighter. For those of us that also had the dream, there will never be enough. While the topics are appreciated and loosely adhered to, the real captivation is the people and the stories. The career journey. Every single person personifies the phrase “you can’t make this up” and “stranger than fiction.” Please, just start grabbing the characters you know and hit the record button. You guys are the legends and this closeness and realness you from a deeply unimaginable realm is what we clamor for. For us, your “couple hours on a Tuesday” we would give up a lifetime for. Every drop of this is immensely appreciated. To think that a short time prior we could have had a Snort and Hoser interview is painful. Snort stories, Hoser stories, as many of the female aircrew as can be mustered, Stuart Meat Broce (I’ve got his autograph on a Tomcat trading card From VX-4 at the PMTC Airshow) and any other Air-to-Air victory stories, exchange pilots, test pilot/nasa test, the actual fastest tomcat pilot…. I bet your list is longer…. Outstanding work, and THANK YOU.
BravoZulu
Excellent job by Bio & Crunch on the F-14 podcast, and it was great while it lasted. Excellent stories, including the former Iranian Air Force Tomcat pilot, who spoke of his combat flying during the Iraq war.
