F-15 Eagle Driver, "Disco" Dildy (Part 1)

[@mikeschultz9188]

A stellar interview from, I believe, the most comprehensive aviation interviewer/author. I haven’t found another that does such a deep dive. Congrats on the 100!

These interviews are helpful in the withdrawal from military life, officer or enlisted.

Great hearing Disco's story again. He was my Vice Wing CC at Eglin, during my short time as a Gorilla. Fine gentleman and treated us non-flyers (I was Life Support then) with respect. He even wanted his jet on a decal sheet I was helping to create for scale models. Thanks for the show.

[@KlusoTollini]

Awesome! Two of my favorite people on one screen. Thanks Steve for sharing Disco with us. Truly enjoyed!

[@nickforster748]

Hey Kluso, I enjoyed your book very much. I hope you’re well!

[@nickforster748]

Great to "meet" Disco. I look forward to the next 2 episodes & will search out his Battle of Britain book. F-15 Eagle Engaged has graced my bedside table frequently over the years. I highly recommend it for the beautiful photos & great stories. 👌 Congrats also to @10percenttrue on the "centenary", I'm proud to be part of the journey.

When he said "the carrying capacity of the F-100", he was referring to a Ford pickup circa 1975,😅

[@forthwithtx5852]

Sitting here in my 10 Percent True t-shirt (by coincidence) listening to a great interview. I almost certainly worked on several aircraft that Disco flew. I was a Structures guy at Holloman from October 1983 until the F-117’s showed up in 1992.

[@waynegriswold8953]

Another great interview, thank you for your time and energy making this video. I was hoping that while on the F-16 topic you would have asked Disco if he knew why the F-16 was not allowed to have the Sparrow operationally. While on the topic he discussed shortcomings of the F-16 but there's been a lot of rumors about why it never got certain armaments. rumor has it that the F-16 was designed to be a Air attack aircraft but because certain people were scared that the F-15 would lose its job. Another rumor has it that McDonald Douglas designed the f-15 with mud in mind and in the systems but because someone did not want to get dirty, they had engineering hide and then omit those functions.

Here's to the next 100 Steve. Disco is a MOST worthy 100th guest and yet another stellar edition to your amazing catalogue

[@nichille]

@10percenttrue - Cheers to 100 episodes and thank you for doing what you do!

[@robo3915]

100 fantastic interviews. What a collection of incredible stories! 🍻

[@viksaini]

A proper intro from a guest to an aptly named channel, ha, ha. Awesome.

[@ianclaproth3675]

This episode simply reinforces my view that your content is without peer in this niche Steve. Yet again I thank and commend you on your production. Thanks to Disco also. I will surely lose a couple of hours of my life to part 2, as soon as it airs.

[@Crunch104]

A fighter pilot's (and sim pilot's) fighter pilot interview! Thanks for the work to put this together!

[@or_ski_bum]

Great interview. First time in my life I've found myself wanting to listen to more Disco 😅

[@AndrewFranklin-w2r]

Great combination of a talented interviewer and a box office guest. Fantastic conversation. Thanks. Looking forward to part 2!

[@lukasikmarcin]

I didn't notice when those 2 hours passed. Great and insightful interview, as always. I can't wait to see Part 2.

[@Towmotar]

Long -time/first time. Thoroughly enjoyable as usual. This really is the best aviation content available in my humble opinion. As someone who purchased Eagle Engaged when it was released I particularly enjoyed hearing from Doug in person. Keep up the outstanding work Steve, looking forward to part two.

[@petrairene]

This is great! Needs a lot more views!

[@Fortisnocte149]

Another thoroughly engaging interview, looking forward to the sequel. Thanks Gents👍🥃🥃

[@WilliamMarks-kg7ng]

This another fantastic interview. I think the only other one I enjoyed this much was the one with Paco Geisler, which is saying a lot because you’ve had so many great guests and you do an excellent job of steering the interviews to interesting places. Keep at it!

[@wrightsublette1701]

This interview is outstanding!!! I grew up & live next door to Eglin AFB to this very day, so I would have seen you at some point in the sky or out in the community. I can’t wait for part two. Cheers ! - Wright Sublette

[@laMoort]

2hours just flew by, magnificent episode and big huge congrats on number 100! 👍

[@TheNorbica]

Disco is such a great guy! Thank you for sharing these stories!

[@stuartb9194]

Classic banter, you two are pros. Many thanks, looking forward to pt2

[@phamanh30926]

Can't wait for the next episode

Absolutely, hoping for some CNA story! (Only 30 minutes in now…)

[@spectrepilot]

Great interview of a great American.

[@AlanToon-fy4hg]

By the way....excellent job on the F-15 book.

[@jacknab5171]

Nice he mentioned us Tempelhofers...

[@dumbthumbs79]

Hey Disco...great interview! Could have been slightly better if you wore your Gengis Khan t-shirt. :) Kbusch

1:17:48 didn’t Holloman’s 49th TFW handle Bavaria, temp based at Gilze-Rijen in the Netherlands?

[@tedzehnder961]

Disco`s delivery is a bit choppy, it was informative but hard to listen to too long.Will have to break it up into shorter lengths to listen.

[@1Roamingwolf]

Seriosly do you have and feature ANYTHING else than the f-15?? balance it out more...

[@10percenttrue]

Lol. I've covered 28 aircraft types over the course of 100 episodes: www.youtube.com/@10percenttrue/playlists?view=50&shelf_id=4
