Description

If you’re watching this on YouTube, then please excuse the dodgy Covid beard – it was shaved off for the next video! - please subscribe.And if you’re already subscribed, click the little bell icon next to the subscription button to make sure you get notified of new content…Speaking of which, my latest guest is Sqn Ldr (ret.) Chris “Toppo” Topham, a retired RAF fighter pilot and someone whose name any Mildenhall Air Fete officiando will recognise as the the pilot who, in 199s, brought the F-117 stealth fighter over to the UK for the first time.My interview with Toppo is divided into multiple parts, starting with his RAF career flying Jaguars, and concluding with a detailed discussion of his exchange tour flying the Stealth Fighter, and an attack pilot’s assessment of the enigmatic jet.I started by asking Toppo how he’d got into the flying business.EnjoySupport the show (https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=GDJU6CM3GWZTN)
