I’ve listened to many military aviation related interviews and podcasts over the years and 10 Percent True is without a doubt my favorite one. Steve does an incredible job as host asking questions, delving into all the right ‘rabbit warrens’, and his guests are always brilliant!

For the record... John Hardeman came to Eglin with me from my TPS class. How could I have forgotten the Hard Man?

Loved this episode too, Jim. You tell a great story, with such passion. All that's missing is an appropriate beverage for each of us! 😉 🍻

That's a great pic of the 494TFS at Zaragoza (one of few live ammo ranges). Probably the most widely circulated F111F photos.

1:30:25 If you think 👽, then you’ll know where he’s talking about. And yes, some of it has been declassified. AF and Navy pilots both participated. Very neat stuff they got to do.

Another cracking interview - kudos and thanks to both of you gents. Jim @FoursInHot, I laughed out loud at my desk as you described your polygraph test, haha. (And for disclosure, I did 'forget' to turn in my flight suits, g-suit and helmet when I separated at Eglin in July '86. Took them with me when I moved back to the UK that month and now have them with me here in Spain. Not quite office supplies but I just couldn't let them go.)

Thanks. I wasn't kidding about the poly. Worse than the centrifuge.

Jim @FoursInHot, your story of nearly flying into the water when mixing it with the Belgian F-16s reminded me of my last Air Force boss, who flew into the ground over the range during Red Flag (he got jumped by an aggressor and was looking over his shoulder while he was at 3 degrees nose down). He woke up in hospital with a broken back, having managed to eject just as his aircraft impacted. I've thought about that many times since hearing his story... how it only takes a fraction of a second.

Funny what we reflect upon as we get older. I remember that moment very clearly. I tried to shake it off and down-play the whole experience during the debrief, but it was a big deal to me. It's the biggest escape of my career.

"Boots" was another infamous WSO who flew with the 494th on THAT day...

As a former F111F WSO (1990 -1992), I can tell you about 1,000 ft high towers in western UK to watch out for.

Two questions: 1) What was that base he really wanted to go to? 2) Did he ever get sent to England AFB?
@FoursInHot
@FoursInHot 5 месяцев назад
Sorry about the mush that came out of my mouth. If I said "England," I meant "Eglin." In the late 80s and early 90s, England AFB was next to Alexandria, LA and was an operational A-10 base. Eglin AFB was on the panhandle of Florida and home to the Air Armament Center and the 33rd FW (F-15Cs). I wanted to go to Eglin.
