Sometimes I forget how old I am so when I see Strike Eagle Pilots in their 60s-70s I get so confused. Then I remember I'm just about 40 and these guys were flying in their 20s.
I worked F-111s my whole career on ECM. I was in my 40s when they were retired so I know about feeling old. Those pilots looked younger and younger as the years went by. I see colonels and a few generals on the Air Force Academy now who look like they could be my grandkids!😅
Outstanding interview. It is fantastic that Steve is back and doing the podcast again. For those who are interested for more contextual information and background regarding rescue attempts debacle of Corvette 03 I highly recommend Darrel D. Whitcomb s book Combat Search and Rescue in Desert Storm: Chapter 4 p. 122-140 and Chapter 8 Lessons Learned. This book is available for free as a PDF from Air University / Maxwell AFB website, also because He was mentioned in the podcast I recommend C.R. Anderegg s book Sierra Hotel Flying Air Force Fighters in the Decade After Vietnam. This book is also available for free as a PDF from the Air University website. Of course while listening to the interview I am flipping through my copy of William L. Smallwood s Strike Eagle Flying the F-15E in the Gulf War. Regards.
Yogi, good to see you again. Great to see Steep, have not seen him since about 1992, so glad to see him doing well. Interesting to get Steep's point of view and some of his insights interfacing with senior leadership during DS.
Glad you are back. Fabulous as always. Good to see Yogi again and meet Steep. I live near Collettsville where the 4th trains. Saw two Seymour F-15s over the house Thursday as the routed their egress to do the fly over for the Appalachian State game. Impressive aircraft. Also used to frequent Seymour in their F-4 days. Thank you Steve Davies!
YEAH BUDDY! Wonderful to have the podcast/youtube channel back, Steve. Super content and an outstanding contribution to the historical record of military aviation. I hope the Library of Congress or the Smithsonian is archiving these for future generations of researchers and students of history.
@cdyjv118 ment as a joke, However..... latest model is a twin engined twin cockpit aircraft with the classic 3 system hydraulics. A do all workhorse of the AF like the F-4.
Well the guy on the left got in a seat propelled faster then the speed of sound and rode it straight into the enemies guns so...ya know I bet he wouldn't like you either, seeing as how your contribution to the conversation is to complain like a woman.

Same > Glad you are back > Outstanding content "Again"
Great to have you back Steve and for another most worthy entry in the series. Nothing beats the guys themselves recounting their own experiences.
Hooray, I've missed these podcasts. I hope you're well mate
Hey Steve great to see you back. Was beginning to wonder what had happened there!
The 335th had several C Model pilots during the First Gulf War. Mike 'Slammer' Decuir was one.
Dragged kicking and screaming to do A2G?
@@cdyjv118 True, but he sure had a good time at Lakenheath when 601 was configured like a ‘Light Grey’!
@@thomasmiller2016 The Mudhen clean with the 229 motors is a rocketship!!
Yessss, This made my day big time.
Nice!!!

Another bombshell episode 💪👍🏾💯🛩
A fantastic interview gents.
Informative and riveting. Absolutely loved it👏👏
Brilliant discussion with these guys, and a great historical record of what they did and how. Thanks, for all of it.
Great interview. So glad to have you back Steve!
I swear the intro sound is that of the P-51 Voodoo.
FA18
Welcome back
Great to see you back! When is Star Baby coming back on?
We are back!

Ohhhh, the improved F-4.

Hard to listen to, Guy on the left talks like Elmer Fudd
