Time marches on.
For Veterans Day 2025, I’m updating and recycling a post from 2017.
I recently sat for a three-hour Zoom interview with Robert Hoeting, a Dutch friend who follows my blog. He’s starting a podcast featuring pilot interviews and our talk is the first installment: the subject being my experiences in the U.S. Air Force and flying the F-15 Eagle. We covered a bit of my personal history as well, stories I haven’t shared with anyone in ages.

There. Now you know why Air Force fighters have tail hooks.

Yesterday, at Barnes Air National Guard Base in Westfield, Massachusetts, a back-seat passenger ejected from an F-15 as it taxied out for takeoff.
