THIS EPISODE IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF BRIGADIER GENERAL CHUCK YEAGER, 1923-2020, THE FIRST MAN TO FLY FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF SOUND.

Join Jay Seffern, a former U.S. Air Force flight test engineer, to discuss his flight test experiences with the F-20 Tiger Shark, the F-16 Viper, the HH-60 Black Hawk, and the MC-130 Combat Talon II.  Jay and I do joke around with each other a bit in this episode, and we talk a lot about aviation geekery and some military history, too.  Jay also talks getting to know the late, great Chuck Yeager!

LtCol Jay Seffern is an airline pilot who makes his home in the Dallas area.  He is a native of New York City and holds B.S. and M.S. degrees in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from Purdue University.  In addition to his experiences at the U.S. Air Force Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB, California, Jay spent three years at the NASA Ames Research Center as a young Air Force officer.  Jay flew both the B-52 and the F-111 in the USAF.
