Flying the EF-111A Raven in Combat - Super and Pyro (Part 2) 

Thank you all. This remains the ULTIMATE channel.

My God. This truly is an epic account of just how difficult and complicated and dangerous it was in that war. It was tragic hearing about the lost crew, and also realising that sometimes you don’t know how much you know and have to pass that on to keep people alive.

Truly I believe this is the best interview I’ve heard regarding electronic warfare. Incredible work, thank you.

I was stationed at Mt Home AFB, ID with the 390th ECS, from 1985-1988. Lt Col William Teske was our Squadron Commander. This was a great assignment, as I was in the admin office and was able to go on several TDY’s in support of the mission. The RAVEN was a great platform. Thanks for these videos, as they brought back fond memories.

Love this channel!

love the multiple drops lately. keep it up... excellent.

These guys are great. Love the interview! My GW experience comes from Dhahran AB just after the end of hostilities. Holloman F-15 A/B’s replaced the Langley F-15 C/D’s in the CAP mission. The oil well fires were still raging at the time. The sun would set at around 5:00PM into the haze. We were living at Khobar Towers (before the bombing). The soot from the fires was so bad, even at altitude, our jets were looking like the kids from Oliver! We began washing our aircraft with the only available water at the time, which was semi-desalinated water from the hydrants. Stupid decision by knuckleheads just trying to follow wash schedules. Anyway, a few years later, I returned to the SW of SA with the black jets at Khamis Mushait. Not too far from Taif, I believe. I remember stopping there, briefly and seeing the U2’s, but can’t remember the circumstances. I don’t recall any EF-111’s.

An excellent follow-up men. Many thanks to you three.. Such sustained professionalism of the highest order. Crazy, to me, that requests from men, at war, in the cock-pits of EF111's for improving the over-all efficiency/life expectancy of men and machine were'n't matched at higher level. If, for instance, the cock-pit electronics of a Formula 1 car required adjustment, or replacement, in order to optimise efficiency, at a driver's behest, and management informed him to, "Train harder"...........the response might possibly ' set precedent'. To misappropriate fighter pilots in F15's, during war, and using them as 'minders'? ;sounds a tad SNAFU, as 'they say'. I've just finished Kluso's book. He said similar. I am learning so much from your channel each and every episode. ' Time flies!' It's brilliant in my op. Managed to buy one of the last copies of P Metz' YF23 book from 'A' : damn lucky there!. Cheers for the 'heads-up' Steve.

Great job and thanks, Steve!

Demystifying EW Brilliant interview Much respect and gratitude to all involved. 👍🏻👍🏻

Good stuff

Another excellent episode Steve - thank you, very much for putting out such really interesting content. I am 'late to the party' having only discovered your channel (RU-vid and podcast) a few months ago so I've got lots to catch up on which is great! These EF-111 episodes are absolutely brilliant, with a lot of fascinating(open) technical info, aircraft and personal stories and insights. Thank you very much for producing such great content.

Well that went fast, thanks guys

Super cool podcast, bro. It's very engaging and interesting. Thank you!

Nice

Awesome

2:48:28 of unadulterated awesomeness. Thank you. Can you keep em talking more Steve?!?

The best channel!

2:15 His wife is trying to ruin the interview by pretending to adjust some things on the shelf -- -LOL. Poor guy!

Hey lady, you're in the shot lol

I wonder what the privacy concessions were in the (E)F-111 for piddle pack situations 🙂

"We cleared the mountain by an acceptable 200 feet." Wow!

Wonderful video ! Very interesting as always thanks

Air-to-Air refueling part gives Galveston Key vibes Any comments on that? Lol

Great stuff! One gripe - Mike, speak up/increase mic levels. I got a laptop with fingernail size speakers and 22 years of Air Force flightline maintenance. Thanx!

This is gold!! Any chance your going to get some prowler guys on???

is there going to be a part 3?

bro, why is this called the "10 percent true"?
