Description
Welcome to the fifty-ninth episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast! I'm your host Mark Hasara, retired Air Force KC-135 pilot and airplane nerd! I've been asked numerous times what my thoughts are on the leaked classified documents from the Department of Defense and Pentagon. I'm still scratching my head about how a 21-year-old Airman had access to these documents, particularly CIA Ops Center Reports. The documents were very recent looking at the dates and shed some very interesting light on a number of events happening around the world, particularly the Chinese spy balloon and a scary incident between Russian SU-27 Flankers and a Royal Air Force (RAF) RC-135 Rivet Joint electronic intelligence plane over the Black Sea. This episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast is financially supported by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. These very detailed profile graphics are printed on vinyl in four, six, or eight-foot-long prints you can peel off and stick to any flat surface. Go to wallpilot.com and order from 128 Ready-to-Print aircraft or let us draw your favorite aircraft with your name under the canopy, unit, tail codes, and weapons load. Aircraft from WW II to fifth-gen fighters are available. A four, six, or eight-foot print of the RC-135 Rivet Joint is available for those who crewed this incredible intelligence and reconnaissance aircraft. A Hawaiian Air Nation Guard F-22 similar to the 27th Fighter Squadron Raptor that shot down the Chinese spy balloon is also available in the Ready-to-Print section of wallpilot.com Thanks for downloading and listening to this episode on the classified documents leak. Just my opinion here mind you. This and previous episodes of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast are available to download and listen to from my website at markhasara.com
