Me three! Best part for me is he was an F-111 pilot (or WSO, don’t know yet), and I was ground maintenance (radar + INS)...interesting to hear his perspective on things!

Used to live in Wales and years ago the F111's flew low level overhead on a regular basis,clearly remember one starting a climb into cloud early evening,then lighting the cloud up with its afterburners.Free airshow courtesy of the US and the RAF on a regular basis.Happy days.

Haha that Buccaneer + Aardvark tactic was hilarious. Also hell yes join operations with Viggens and Drakens!

Fascinating insights, like every time. Why doesn't this stuff get more views, cannot imagine that someone doesn't find these stories highly intriguing. Even if you're not interested in aviation, technology or air warfare tactics, that's history from first hand, worth conserving. Thank you for that, seriously!

Saw the 1st F-111 that flew into Plattsburgh Air force base, enjoyed seeing them rip out of the base with after burners blazing every day there after until the base closed.

Jeff is great! Ask him to write a book. I beg you!

Nate Griffin you will be able to ask him when we do a live Q&A with him in January:)

Yes! I look forward to that! I was in the USAF from '82-89 as a security policemen. I always loved checking out the aircraft etc, but could never ask any real questions about what was going on with them. It wasn't exactly encouraged then...

Nate Griffin this will be the perfect chance as Jeff is very personable. I will keep the channel updated when we have dates.

I thoroughly enjoyed Jeff’s main video and this one as well (though I love all of the interviews) as his story’s are so engaging! He has an ability to almost ‘put you in the cockpit’ watching it take place! It’s great you’ve interviewed some F-111 pilots/crew as I think it’s an often overlooked yet fascinating plane. Jeff I second request of you to write a book...or many! Thank you gentlemen!

You could try to connect with some pilots through either the Viggen or the Draken facebook groups as there are a large number of pilots on there sharing stories so its possible one or more of those could be up for an interview.
