[@davidsmith8997]

Looking forward to hearing about the Apache vs the Cobra.

[@Aircrewinterview]

Part 2 is great with lots of stories.

[@estellemelodimitchell8259]

The enlisted route of becoming a pilot is like how the Marines trained their aviators, first they have to be a Marine and slogged it out on the ground before going to flight school.

[@colonelkurtz2269]

Every Marine is a rifleman first.

Mr Flores is so awesome. His movie "Above the best" is really fascinating to watch btw.

[@Aircrewinterview]

He is indeed!

[@RamadiTaxiDriver60M]

Awesome. From one EMS guy to another, CHEERS!

Cobras were welcome overhead in in Nam and the description of the mini gun looking like a laser and sounds like a Bull bellowing

[@Chilly_Billy]

Oh man, I was really hoping for someone with Cold War experience in West Germany. I bet that interview would be chock full of interesting stories.

This the copilot from jungle strike? Remember them using real pilots

[@davidwebber8636]

I can't see past the silly hat, sadly...

[@Aircrewinterview]

You will learn soon why Daniel has the hat. Very interesting and something I was unaware of.

[@davidwebber8636]

@@Aircrewinterview Oh, I know the reason... it just looks a tad silly on a podcast. I've got a beret from my days with the Artists Rifles but I don't wear it about the house. 🙄

[@teeembeee]

@@davidwebber8636 Wearing it for this type of interview is totally appropriate. He earned it.
