Fighter Pilots Reveal INSANE High Stakes COMBAT MISSION

F-16 pilot James Reeman sits down with former F-15E Strike Eagle and Thunderbirds pilot Max Afterburner for a fighter-pilot-to-fighter-pilot conversation about flying the F-16 Fighting Falcon — the Viper. Reeman flew the F-16 with the Colorado Air National Guard's 120th Fighter Squadron and deployed to Kunsan Air Base, Korea, where his own son served as his crew chief.

In this episode: what it's really like to fly the F-16, how the Viper compares to the F-15E and F-15, Air National Guard fighter life vs active duty, deploying to Korea and flying alongside the ROK Air Force, and the lessons a career in fighter aviation teaches about leadership, risk, and trust.
