That gentleman explained everything with such enthusiasm and good humour. Well done.
Wow, very interesting guy with varied experiences. For those of us who were USAF pilots and "progressed" to operational airplanes, the T-38 was my favorite airplane (sad to know that at that time it would be the best airplane in a pilot career that lasted nearly 40 years). This guy would have been a very respected instructor in my UPT experience. We students really admired the "fast mover" (real fighter pilot) experienced instructors. Randolph comments were refreshing to relive as I went to UPT at Randolph myself (19 years before he was assigned there). I also grew up in San Antonio.
Stu. I went through 38 pit in late 89. Glad to see you are doing well! Your memory and perspective is amazingly refreshing. I hope this finds you well! Mark
Great interview! Stuart recalled many, many details of USAF pilot training that really made me nostalgic. I was class 87-04 at Laughlin AFB, TX.
It's so good to get the pilot's opinion after they have left the service so they can be almost completely frank about their experiences and reveal some unclassified inside knowledge. As a lifelong aviation enthusiast and glider pilot, i appreciate that there are a lot of little nuggets of knowledge about airplanes and piloting that i haven't heard before. I also agree the Brits do have a great sense of sublime understated humor that is refreshing to Americans. Thanks for these posts
Boy, does that bring back memories. I missed you by a year or so. Instructing at Randolph (1983-1987) was one of the highlights of my flying career. Our exchange officer back then was Flt. Lt. John Dobson, a great pilot with lots to offer from a British perspective. I miss the flying and the camaraderie. Thirty plus years as an airline pilot did not compare. I wish we'd met!! What a great career you had!
What a great fella !!!! I spent 5 yrs. in the USAF as an enlisted troop. I was a security specialist...i.e.. many nights guarding B-52s,F4s etc. My schools were all in San Antonio, Texas(off and on over 2 yrs.). This gave me a whole new perspective about the place. For what it is worth I had friends that were at a place called Lakenheath and the main airport in the UK. they all loved it and were very sorry to leave. It really is a small world. I am a SPITFIRE fan too. Great web site . I have just recently found it.
Great to hear from someone who really knew the history of the T-38 as well as flew it. Nice trip down memory lane for me- as former KC-135 pilot, some of us were dual qualified in the T-38.
That was a cool interview. I miss my days of ground handling T-38’s and doing air starts. The oldest operational Talons were mostly what we handled and are from Beale AFB. Occationally some C models and NASA. Pretty little jet!
I can imagine Ser Davos Seaworth saying the same things :)
A great character ! He seems to think as fast as he talks which I guess is why he flew the fast stuff !
great interview. especially the quirkiness about being quirky
Very interesting to hear about the T-38. Good interview as per usual.
I don't know how you get these guys to open up but I'm sure glad you do.
Yet another superb interview thanks Stuart & Mike!
This was a superb interview!!! This gentleman was an outstanding interview, and you asked all the right questions!!! Well done, to both of you :-)
Another cracking interview. Good effort.
Another great interview, thanks!
Gave me chills listening to you talk about "the Four Merlins" and the Spitfire, Hurricane, and Lanc. Good on you Stuart and thanks for sharing.
Mike for future vids can you consider a way of improving the pick up/audio level of your own voice during the interviews. It is sometimes hard to hear the questions you are asking. Thanks.
