Feed the algo. Liked, subscribed. Solid content Note BC got dressed up suit and tie. Fashion comes and goes, but class is timeless.👍

BC Thomas is one of my heroes. A charming man whose stories I could listen to all day. Thank you for posting

[@10percenttrue]

My pleasure!

[@tedzehnder961]

Your channel deserves more and the time watching is well worth it.

[@KernowekTim]

Fantastic. What a man/aircraft combo. Two of the many SR71 'greats'.

[@jimmycummings8164]

I learn so much about so many different things that is not just limited to aircraft. Thanks.

Such a fascinating flying career. Had I been able to make through OCS to become a pilot, the kind of flying Mr. Thomas experienced would have been my choice. My father and stepfather were fighter-pilots and as cool as that was, reconnaissance and scientific test flying would have been my dream job. I still have a stack of military textbooks ( USN & USAF) various NATOPS manuals and aeronautical books about 3 feet high that my stepfather gave me. I have read them all and glad I still have them today. This has been another fantastic interview.

Really glad you enjoyed it. I think that BC stops by from time to time, so I hope he sees your comments.

[@10percenttrue]

Many thanks for the prompt. You should be able to see it in the podcast feeds very soon - I had forgotten to publish it, but have done so now.

Wasn’t moonbeam a Macvsog plane

[@donwat91]

Moonbeam was one of our Callsign for the battlestaff. I flew Cricket for 10 years . Bookshelf was one of the main callsigns . I flew with Cricket mostly and Alleycat and Moonbeam. I was a AAC. AIRBORNE AIRCRAFT CONTROLLER. Later we were called the WEAPON CONTROLLER. ABCCC was retired in 2004 I believe. All the aircraft have been chopped up at the boneyard. There is only one left and it's at the CAROLINA AIR MUSEUM at Charlotte, NC . Its at the international Airport just off Interstate 85.

You need to put part #'s on your videos.

[@10percenttrue]

What do you think P stands for in the title “10 Percent True #15 P2”?

[@geoffreymee7671]

I really like yr show but sometimes u go blankmind when compltely disregarding the audio quality of the very person u r interviewing, This in frustrating beyond the point of being able the listen to the vsluable information within....extremely frustrating. Ill be back hoping i can hear the subject without them being so far away from the mic that the boom noise room is far less than clean audio of voive....the key to all podcasts.
