Thank you for presenting this. My oldest brother was lost over Laos and was MIA for many years until his plane was found.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Impressive. Were remains located?

[@spacebear49]

What an incredibly amazing organization. Would love to be a part of it someday.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

They are doing some great work

What a great guy

A program that hits home for me. I had a relative die on the USS Oklahoma and he was finally brought home after 80 years. Thanks for airing it! Fly Navy and Marines! ✈️⚓✈️💪

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

That must have been moving for your family. #respect

[@user-dx9oz7wy7j]

@@FighterPilotPodcast Thank you for your response. Yes, it was very moving for me. He is the reason why I enlisted in the Navy. Thank you for your service and Fly Navy!✈️⚓✈️💪. Have a beer or two on me. 🍺🍺🍻

@@user-dx9oz7wy7j will do!

[@colonelkurtz2269]

The graphics and definitions add an element to the show, especially for us non military. The trailer was excellent as was the show. Its great to leave service and continue to serve in another role. Its going to be hard to find someone as educated and professional, but you seem to manage! All the best from chilly FL. 😊 ☀️

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Thank you!

[@AggiePhil]

Thanks for mentioning this one in your latest episode, Jell-o. Was fantastic and eye-opening. One of my favorites!!

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

You're welcome! Only wish KZbin had promoted it better--this episode did not get much traction, sadly.

[@D5Pasadena]

Truly inspirational episode! Keep fighting the good fight, Cosmo! P.S. Welcome to the show, Jell-O’s dog!

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

That’s Maverick 😎

[@GeorgMumelter]

👍 😅I guess shouting "Goose" at your dog would have been weird ;)

[@trevormoore8958]

Loved this one... what an interesting listen. Well done everyone involved with this project.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Thank you. Wish everyone felt the way you do, Trevor--unfortunately, this has been one of our most underperforming episodes since pivoting to video.

[@jackharle1251]

An unexpected change of pace. Nicely done.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Thanks. Did you catch the FPP golden retriever's cameo towards the end? 😍

[@jackharle1251]

@@FighterPilotPodcast Really enjoy your program as you're thoughtful of educating listeners who are starting from scratch in aviation, yet not boring the regulars. Think that grace occurs with parents who might have come from somewhere else, speaking another language. Respectfully, a Recon Corpsman

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

@@jackharle1251 I appreciate that feedback.

[@ESowder24]

Actually just heard of them while watching Expedition Unknown about the battle of operation Hailstone was also first time hearing of that battle

Inspirational. Great interview

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Thanks! Too bad KZbin did not help us out by promoting it better.

[@shannono6051]

@@FighterPilotPodcast 100% true. I only knew about it because the episode downloaded to my Podcast App.

[@goldenshark3182]

I’m so glad there is a group of people searching for our missing heroes. It’s so awesome, I always wondered if there was anybody out there trying to find them. Over 10 years ago I did research on a F-8 Crusader pilot who crashed off the coast of North Vietnam in 1972 and I hope someday these guys will do a search there to find him and any others missing in those waters. The name of the pilot I researched was David M. Thompson.

[@marygracewills8888]

Still waiting on someone finding MSG William L. Hackney. MIA 1 SEP 1950 in Korea.

[@elnach3240]

I don’t know about anyone else but I’m craving some more F-14 Tomcast.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Thanks, but gee, that doesn't bode well for this episode. 😅

[@jackharle1251]

This subject is near and dear to veterans. Ward probably has some Tomcat videos where he's gently nudging his slightly leftist stance.

[@elnach3240]

@@jackharle1251 Tomcats were designed to intercept Commies not transport them.

[@maynardholmes8870]

Oh my goodness, another celebrity doppelgänger, UFC fighter, former UFC fighter Brendan Schaub, and your guest

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Brendan is 13 years younger so I'll take that as a compliment, thank you.
