Description

Welcome to Episode 49 of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast! I've wanted to do this one for a while. My USAF Pilot Training experience was pretty rocky. I almost did not make it through. Fortunately, one really good instructor we called "The Doctor" helped me get through. The Doctor could fix just about any student's ailments with his incredible teaching skills. To this day, I still remember The Doctor’s Five Rules of Flying and have used them flying KC-135s all over the world and in my personal life too. The Lessons from the Cockpit podcast is supported by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. There are 127 Ready-to-Print images of aircraft from WW II to Fifth Gen fighters.  We do custom artwork too! Working on SH-3 Sea Kings and AH-64 Apaches right now. Go by the website and take a look at the detail of these vinyl prints and buy one or two for your walls. This is how we keep the podcast going. The Shamu Scheme on a KC-135 from the 909th Air Refueling Squadron comes in four, six, and eight-foot-long prints. Flying in the F-15 Eagle was one of the greatest experiences of my life. Prints of the 67th Fighter Squadron Fighting Cocks and 44th Fighter Squadron Vampires are available from Wall Pilot. Thanks for listening to this episode today. Please share this and previous episodes of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast with your family and friends. Download this and previous episodes of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast, found on my website at markhasara.com  In next week's episode, we discuss Time Sensitive Targets, what it TSTs mean, and how lawyers fit into the Kill Chain when finding, fixing, and finishing high-value or fleeting targets of opportunity. Examples are from Operation Northern Watch in 2000, Southern Watch in 2002, Southern Focus in 2002, and the air campaigns over Afghanistan and Iraq. One event involves the very FIRST use of the F/!-18 Super Hornet in combat in Iraq. I was there... and watched every one of these TSTs unfold. Talk to you next week!
