It has been a lot of fun getting to share stories on this podcast and I'm sorry to have to shut it down but life has gotten busy this last year. This will be my last KSP episode.


Thank you again.


On this episode we talk about nonsense, as is tradition, but we also talk about Ukraine getting F-16s, unprofessional flying by the Chinese pilots, and what has been going on in the flying world. Bender shares about hos the F-35 has so much power and still can't seem to maintain energy in a dog fight.

On this episode we talk with Joust Carey. He is a F-22 pilot who is trying to solve the 5th Gen simulator problem. He was a First Assignment Instructor Pilot (FAIP, like Bender), then he went on to fly the F-22. We talk about flying the F-22, the F-35 and how they compare. Next we cover the problem at hand. How do we best build and utilize simulators to help our people train the best. We breakdown what we need out of a simulator and why we are in desperate need of not just a tech refresh but a new way of solving the problem.

Sorry for the delay but part 2 of the Drago and Rowdy episode is here! We finish our conversation about FBF with a deep dive from Rowdy on what the current plan to combine T-38 UPT and IFF. Rowdy is tasked with making it a reality (which is wild) but there are some very real issues that must be resolved before that can happen. We also talk about what has everyone concerned about the future of the force. The future is filled with possibility but do we have the force and the equipment to be ready for the fight? That's the real question.

We get the gang back together for another Bro Chat. We talk about Bender's travels around the Pacific. It was rather entertaining to hear how much of a mess it was. We share some stories about flying around the world and all the crazy things that can happen when you are moving jets from one place to another. Vader shares some fun stories about flying the Eagle.

On this episode Drago waters, a repeat guest on the KSP, joins us. He is an F-16 Weapons officer who doesn't take no sh#t from anyone and calls it like he sees it. Also joining us is Rowdy Little who used to fly F-16s and now fly's the T-38 in Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF). Rowdy is a highly decorated instructor with my Instructor Pilot of the Class awards than anyone else I know.


We talk about life at Holloman AFB, the struggles Air National Guard currently faces, and how important fitness is to flying fighters. We also talk about the importance of being an honest broker of your capabilities.

Rowdy breaks down what Fighter Bomber Fundamentals (FBF) is and why it is a huge challenge for the current IPs and probably future students.

On this episode we talk about how ShockTech's REAP product is changing the game for airdrop payloads. I learned to big things on this episode. One, James and Alex are WAY smarter than me. Two, we waste a massive amount of cardboard on our training airdrops.


We cover their REAP product, how it works, and why it is such a change to the traditional cardboard. We also talk about the other programs that ShockTech is creating for NASA.
