Mile High Flyers (David Johns)

Recorded Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Guest: Capt David F. John, USAF, F-22 Raptor Pilot

Current Post: Deputy Director of Operations and Test, OSD/JEPAC 

Mike, Zyola and Nate interview Captain David John, USAF.  Our host Doug, couldn't make it for the interview, but don't worry - he'll be back!

Dave answers our questions about flying the F-22, sprinkled in with his own experiences flying the F-15, T-37, and T-38.  Dave is currently stationed at Nellis AFB in a non-flying but very important role, and we appreciate him taking the time to talk with us.  Dave jumps in and answers both some common questions, and also a few questions you may never have heard posed to an F-22 pilot.

  Editor's Note: Dave notes that the RAW footage from this show was great, but the show itself might have tried a little too hard.  He mentions this in the podcast, but just making it clear here on the website for future reference!  Listen to the episode for more details!
