203 00:08:06,340 --> 00:08:04,280 weird look about him he had I have a 204 00:08:08,470 --> 00:08:06,350 picture of him hearing on my computer 205 00:08:11,230 --> 00:08:08,480 but he had the body of a serpent the 206 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:11,240 wings of a bat head of a horse or goat 207 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:14,930 and a devil's forked tail and some 208 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:16,970 cloven hooves by the looks of this 209 00:08:22,390 --> 00:08:19,010 illustration that I have here luckily we 210 00:08:23,890 --> 00:08:22,400 do this on Mother's Day know if he was 211 00:08:29,490 --> 00:08:23,900 he's been haunting the Pine Barrens 212 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:29,500 forever and ever he was born and quickly 213 00:08:36,070 --> 00:08:32,810 harassed the Midwife and the other nurse 214 00:08:37,719 --> 00:08:36,080 attendants that were there and a real 215 00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:37,729 statement a real statement for a rough 216 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:39,110 breastfeeding will have been made with 217 00:08:42,610 --> 00:08:41,090 this yeah he was kind of like biting a 218 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,620 lot so I don't think you'd be one 219 00:08:47,130 --> 00:08:44,800 oppressed want to breastfeed this this 220 00:08:50,009 --> 00:08:47,140 Tyco and he raised a little havoc in the 221 00:08:52,740 --> 00:08:50,019 room and then flew up the chimney so 222 00:08:56,550 --> 00:08:52,750 that was that but legend has it that he 223 00:08:57,810 --> 00:08:56,560 was a pretty bad guy and if you see him 224 00:09:00,420 --> 00:08:57,820 around you want to stay away from him 225 00:09:02,910 --> 00:09:00,430 you know that wasn't that wasn't the 226 00:09:04,889 --> 00:09:02,920 only thing was going on was Captain Kidd 227 00:09:07,290 --> 00:09:04,899 there was the wreck out there in the 228 00:09:08,699 --> 00:09:07,300 ocean Captain Kidd was headless walking 229 00:09:10,139 --> 00:09:08,709 around that's what people were saying oh 230 00:09:12,990 --> 00:09:10,149 no he saw Captain Kidd all the time 231 00:09:14,460 --> 00:09:13,000 walking around Pine Barrens and he was 232 00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:14,470 he was looking for the rest of his crew 233 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:17,350 so he's walking around and some people 234 00:09:22,230 --> 00:09:20,410 say they saw him but that it got its 235 00:09:25,380 --> 00:09:22,240 name though by this dude named Jacob 236 00:09:28,319 --> 00:09:25,390 Onge they called the place on his hat 237 00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:28,329 because it was perhaps some kind of 238 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:31,510 incident in town where an altercation 239 00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:33,490 kind of took place and somebody might 240 00:09:38,670 --> 00:09:35,920 have stopped in his hat and he was a 241 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:38,680 little bit upset about it and he picked 242 00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:40,450 it up and threw it up in the air landed 243 00:09:45,900 --> 00:09:42,790 in the tree forever and ever has been 244 00:09:49,380 --> 00:09:45,910 called orange songs his hat on oranges 245 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:49,390 hat right oMG aren't orange pronouncing 246 00:09:53,610 --> 00:09:51,250 it correctly I think so yeah I don't I 247 00:09:54,420 --> 00:09:53,620 there's so much about this particular 248 00:09:55,980 --> 00:09:54,430 story 249 00:09:58,769 --> 00:09:55,990 commander Cobra stepping in the air for 250 00:10:00,329 --> 00:09:58,779 a couple seconds why Mac is attending to 251 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:00,339 the next part of the show 252 00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,770 I found the young's hat thing there's a 253 00:10:06,420 --> 00:10:04,480 lot of controversy on this particular 254 00:10:08,819 --> 00:10:06,430 issue as well where they talk about it 255 00:10:11,460 --> 00:10:08,829 that it's a complete urban legend like 256 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:11,470 it's completely been created out of out 257 00:10:14,579 --> 00:10:12,910 of it and then when you look back at the 258 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:14,589 historical part of it there is actual 259 00:10:19,380 --> 00:10:16,959 events that tie into it as well a lot of 260 00:10:22,230 --> 00:10:19,390 real stuff that was alleged to have 261 00:10:23,610 --> 00:10:22,240 happened and one of the things that 262 00:10:26,010 --> 00:10:23,620 happened was there were these two twins 263 00:10:29,610 --> 00:10:26,020 that lived there named Frank and Althea 264 00:10:32,220 --> 00:10:29,620 Dobbs they're from Texas I spent the 265 00:10:34,769 --> 00:10:32,230 early childhood living in an UFO type of 266 00:10:37,470 --> 00:10:34,779 kombu I didn't know those UFO kommune 267 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:37,480 but it's been pretty cool it is the land 268 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:42,970 of opportunity this I think so so if 269 00:10:48,389 --> 00:10:45,130 you're into that and we are here that 270 00:10:50,340 --> 00:10:48,399 being in a UFO Communist it doesn't get 271 00:10:52,550 --> 00:10:50,350 better than that but they're kind of 272 00:10:54,780 --> 00:10:52,560 bright kids and they did end up at the 273 00:10:57,580 --> 00:10:54,790 University of Texas and they created the 274 00:10:59,380 --> 00:10:57,590 science they called cognitive chaos 275 00:11:03,910 --> 00:10:59,390 interesting name I don't know if that 276 00:11:05,890 --> 00:11:03,920 those courses are still offered and they 277 00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:05,900 say that with their science of cognitive 278 00:11:10,270 --> 00:11:08,390 chaos that it had some marvelous things 279 00:11:11,950 --> 00:11:10,280 they could do with it they could heal 280 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:11,960 themselves of any affliction and the 281 00:11:15,820 --> 00:11:13,850 aging process and travelled to other 282 00:11:18,550 --> 00:11:15,830 dimensions this was the key the 283 00:11:21,850 --> 00:11:18,560 traveling to other dimensions part so 284 00:11:23,830 --> 00:11:21,860 they tried to develop that at Princeton 285 00:11:25,330 --> 00:11:23,840 University apparently a pretty smart to 286 00:11:27,460 --> 00:11:25,340 get into Princeton University I would 287 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:27,470 think and they're working to prove that 288 00:11:34,930 --> 00:11:30,890 this cognitive chaos theory was totally 289 00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:34,940 possible but the rest of the the school 290 00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:36,560 wasn't buying it and they were expelled 291 00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:38,690 from Princeton too bad but they said 292 00:11:43,870 --> 00:11:40,910 we're gonna so what's the date that this 293 00:11:47,680 --> 00:11:43,880 is occurring at just in 1:1 just in in 294 00:11:49,540 --> 00:11:47,690 round numbers this was the mid-eighteen 295 00:11:50,770 --> 00:11:49,550 the mid eighteen hundreds was Jacobs 296 00:11:57,850 --> 00:11:50,780 orange throwing his hat up in the air 297 00:12:00,640 --> 00:11:57,860 the cognitive chaos was I think the late 298 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:00,650 70s early 80s perhaps they worked on 299 00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:01,970 this theory but they were expelled 300 00:12:06,730 --> 00:12:04,400 because they the the rest of school 301 00:12:08,170 --> 00:12:06,740 thought they're idiots but they wanted 302 00:12:11,770 --> 00:12:08,180 to develop this theory of the morning 303 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:11,780 but they did was cruising up to to a 304 00:12:17,230 --> 00:12:13,610 pine barrens and with them they brought 305 00:12:18,730 --> 00:12:17,240 a an Airstream trailer I love those 306 00:12:21,610 --> 00:12:18,740 Airstream trailers they're very sleek 307 00:12:23,740 --> 00:12:21,620 and shiny also used for the space 308 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:23,750 program for the first astronauts one 309 00:12:27,550 --> 00:12:25,040 they really yeah when the astronauts 310 00:12:29,470 --> 00:12:27,560 returned they weren't sure if they had 311 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:29,480 collected biological material and then 312 00:12:32,980 --> 00:12:31,010 went to the moon so when they were put 313 00:12:35,260 --> 00:12:32,990 into isolation on the aircraft carrier 314 00:12:37,780 --> 00:12:35,270 it was Airstream trailers that we used 315 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:37,790 Wow so you see those pictures of them 316 00:12:42,250 --> 00:12:39,410 that's where they were kept in in 317 00:12:44,260 --> 00:12:42,260 quarantine for I forgot how long it was 318 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:44,270 it was a good couple weeks maybe a month 319 00:12:47,710 --> 00:12:46,250 until it was proved that they obviously 320 00:12:50,650 --> 00:12:47,720 there was nothing biological on the and 321 00:12:52,330 --> 00:12:50,660 the void of the Moon but for those of us 322 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:52,340 that believe we did go the moon that's a 323 00:12:56,110 --> 00:12:54,290 couple return to a different story at a 324 00:12:57,730 --> 00:12:56,120 different time so they didn't get this 325 00:13:00,490 --> 00:12:57,740 Airstream trailer to live in and they 326 00:13:02,950 --> 00:13:00,500 they use this Airstream trailer to 327 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:02,960 create like this gateway to another 328 00:13:09,550 --> 00:13:05,930 dimension on one side of the Airstream 329 00:13:10,829 --> 00:13:09,560 trailer is the Pine Barrens as we know 330 00:13:12,729 --> 00:13:10,839 it and love it 331 00:13:14,379 --> 00:13:12,739 fifteen hundred square miles of 332 00:13:17,019 --> 00:13:14,389 desolation and creatures running around 333 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:17,029 and the other side was at the other 334 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:18,529 dimension they call this Airstream 335 00:13:22,269 --> 00:13:19,970 trailer the the gate 336 00:13:23,710 --> 00:13:22,279 so this is the gateway to another 337 00:13:26,729 --> 00:13:23,720 dimension how they pull this off well 338 00:13:29,469 --> 00:13:26,739 they they put together this device this 339 00:13:31,449 --> 00:13:29,479 capsule this vehicle that would 340 00:13:34,119 --> 00:13:31,459 transport them to the other dimension 341 00:13:36,460 --> 00:13:34,129 how do they do that they round up a 342 00:13:39,369 --> 00:13:36,470 volunteer a couple of volunteers and 343 00:13:44,249 --> 00:13:39,379 they put him in the capsule off they 344 00:13:45,909 --> 00:13:44,259 went and they were gone for a week and 345 00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:45,919 then guess what 346 00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:48,529 they came back and the first person that 347 00:13:53,169 --> 00:13:50,809 came back says hey yeah I went to this 348 00:13:55,629 --> 00:13:53,179 other dimension and it looked just like 349 00:13:56,489 --> 00:13:55,639 the Pine Barrens except there was nobody 350 00:14:00,939 --> 00:13:56,499 there 351 00:14:02,289 --> 00:14:00,949 an empty Pine Barrens that word spread 352 00:14:04,150 --> 00:14:02,299 that this might have been a safe place 353 00:14:05,739 --> 00:14:04,160 to go so they had a bunch of other 354 00:14:08,109 --> 00:14:05,749 volunteers to go into this other 355 00:14:11,289 --> 00:14:08,119 dimension a number of people came back 356 00:14:14,499 --> 00:14:11,299 and they they populated the area kind of 357 00:14:16,149 --> 00:14:14,509 except they were commuters apparently 358 00:14:19,269 --> 00:14:16,159 the Pine Barrens didn't have you know 359 00:14:21,249 --> 00:14:19,279 shopping malls and you know III did a 360 00:14:23,789 --> 00:14:21,259 lot of statement centers I did a good 361 00:14:27,549 --> 00:14:23,799 bit of test flying over the Pine Barrens 362 00:14:29,169 --> 00:14:27,559 the early 2000s when I was working on a 363 00:14:32,469 --> 00:14:29,179 helicopter project up in that part of 364 00:14:35,439 --> 00:14:32,479 the world and it has a definite vibe to 365 00:14:37,599 --> 00:14:35,449 it and as our guest a couple weeks ago 366 00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:37,609 was speaking about I'm not one to 367 00:14:41,289 --> 00:14:39,769 consider himself extremely sensitive to 368 00:14:44,379 --> 00:14:41,299 that kind of stuff but that area 369 00:14:46,269 --> 00:14:44,389 definitely has a feel to it so if it 370 00:14:48,669 --> 00:14:46,279 works on someone as obtuse as me it 371 00:14:51,069 --> 00:14:48,679 obviously has something going on there 372 00:14:52,629 --> 00:14:51,079 it's a very very interesting place it's 373 00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:52,639 starting from when you go back though 374 00:14:55,629 --> 00:14:54,049 the history starting with Native 375 00:14:58,179 --> 00:14:55,639 Americans what's recorded there all the 376 00:15:01,049 --> 00:14:58,189 way up I find interesting that our to 377 00:15:04,539 --> 00:15:01,059 Texas twins here come up there at 378 00:15:06,429 --> 00:15:04,549 Princeton yep a for those of us those 379 00:15:09,369 --> 00:15:06,439 that may not know the northeast and East 380 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:09,379 real well a college of extensive 381 00:15:14,469 --> 00:15:12,649 reputation in New Jersey just a short 382 00:15:15,909 --> 00:15:14,479 distance up the road I'm wondering if 383 00:15:18,849 --> 00:15:15,919 the twins found out about the Pine 384 00:15:20,679 --> 00:15:18,859 Barrens why they were at college why 385 00:15:21,669 --> 00:15:20,689 they're at Princeton or if that was the 386 00:15:23,859 --> 00:15:21,679 reason why they wanted to go to 387 00:15:24,580 --> 00:15:23,869 Princeton well I read bet with the twins 388 00:15:26,970 --> 00:15:24,590 probably 389 00:15:29,620 --> 00:15:26,980 a little bit on the Qt so they could 390 00:15:31,870 --> 00:15:29,630 serve Tisha's Lee study their their 391 00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:31,880 craft I'd use the resources of the 392 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:34,910 University but obviously where it got 393 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:36,890 out and then they were subsequently 394 00:15:41,950 --> 00:15:40,010 expelled unfortunately but or really 395 00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:41,960 fortunately because then they then they 396 00:15:48,250 --> 00:15:44,830 got the impetus to develop their their 397 00:15:49,990 --> 00:15:48,260 transportation mechanism to travel 398 00:15:51,130 --> 00:15:50,000 travel back and forth I couldn't tell 399 00:15:53,380 --> 00:15:51,140 you that I've actually seen their 400 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:53,390 transportation areas but there are spots 401 00:15:59,920 --> 00:15:57,130 carved out in the Pine Barrens that have 402 00:16:03,040 --> 00:15:59,930 runway like structures do not paved 403 00:16:07,030 --> 00:16:03,050 they're just dirt on the sand runways 404 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:07,040 there there are the occasional what 405 00:16:10,030 --> 00:16:08,330 would appear anyplace else in the 406 00:16:11,470 --> 00:16:10,040 country to be like a hunter's camp or a 407 00:16:13,750 --> 00:16:11,480 fisherman's camp but there's nothing 408 00:16:15,850 --> 00:16:13,760 really game wised up to hunt there as 409 00:16:18,660 --> 00:16:15,860 far as I know they say that even the 410 00:16:21,190 --> 00:16:18,670 animal population in that part of it is 411 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:21,200 is very low there's not a lot of deer 412 00:16:24,220 --> 00:16:22,250 there because there's there's not a lot 413 00:16:28,660 --> 00:16:24,230 of vegetation it's it's a heavy pine 414 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:28,670 forest with coniferous plants which live 415 00:16:33,970 --> 00:16:31,010 on the acidic soil that's so they they 416 00:16:35,500 --> 00:16:33,980 like to do their business and you know 417 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:35,510 very restricted they're not very 418 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:37,250 hospitable no it's not it's got a really 419 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:39,410 strange like humans or animals it's just 420 00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:42,050 a place and from the air it's pretty 421 00:16:45,100 --> 00:16:43,580 interesting you know right off the bat 422 00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:45,110 when you come up to the boundary of it 423 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:46,880 because it dramatically is different 424 00:16:50,350 --> 00:16:48,410 than the rest of the area around it this 425 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:50,360 this this section is there any kind of a 426 00:16:55,570 --> 00:16:53,090 like an upstream force that you might 427 00:16:57,250 --> 00:16:55,580 feel or something like that I like I 428 00:16:58,960 --> 00:16:57,260 told you I got a strange vibe when I'm 429 00:17:02,050 --> 00:16:58,970 out there flying over it and it looks 430 00:17:04,300 --> 00:17:02,060 different and it has a feel to it but 431 00:17:06,490 --> 00:17:04,310 for its physical features you can tell 432 00:17:10,810 --> 00:17:06,500 when you get into that sandy land mast 433 00:17:11,949 --> 00:17:10,820 when you spot it so if I can understand 434 00:17:13,330 --> 00:17:11,959 why they would probably want to set up 435 00:17:15,370 --> 00:17:13,340 shop out there because it's the 436 00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:15,380 perfectly set up shop I also might add 437 00:17:21,460 --> 00:17:18,680 that it's reputed to be a location that 438 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:21,470 organized-crime would use for end 439 00:17:25,570 --> 00:17:23,570 activity very often mmm maybe like The 440 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:25,580 Sopranos might drop off a few people 441 00:17:29,020 --> 00:17:26,930 there you know well I wouldn't really 442 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:29,030 I'm not into the run not into naming 443 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:32,930 names Juan Juan by the way you're 444 00:17:38,470 --> 00:17:37,490 listening to the Mack Melones military 445 00:17:40,120 --> 00:17:38,480 x-files on the 446 00:17:46,180 --> 00:17:40,130 public streaming network in the digital 447 00:17:47,770 --> 00:17:46,190 Dark Matter Network I want to be more 448 00:17:49,330 --> 00:17:47,780 dramatic instead I drop the bombs well I 449 00:17:54,310 --> 00:17:49,340 don't have to do a show on reeducation 450 00:17:55,330 --> 00:17:54,320 and one one can be one of the pupils so 451 00:17:57,010 --> 00:17:55,340 let me get back to the story real quick 452 00:17:59,169 --> 00:17:57,020 alright so to get the air stream is a 453 00:18:00,820 --> 00:17:59,179 gateway people going back and forth but 454 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:00,830 there's nothing there other than the 455 00:18:07,870 --> 00:18:03,770 pine barrens is just desolate and they 456 00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:07,880 come back to purchase groceries beer 457 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:09,679 coffee whatever it is that they need 458 00:18:14,020 --> 00:18:11,450 then they go back on the other side and 459 00:18:16,020 --> 00:18:14,030 go back and forth so this is like really 460 00:18:20,110 --> 00:18:16,030 fun and games for everybody out there 461 00:18:23,289 --> 00:18:20,120 but then something weird happened and up 462 00:18:25,950 --> 00:18:23,299 the road from Pine Barrens well located 463 00:18:30,659 --> 00:18:25,960 right right near Pine Barrens is a is 464 00:18:34,810 --> 00:18:30,669 Fort Dix and there was some kind of 465 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:34,820 chemical leak in the area that the folks 466 00:18:41,770 --> 00:18:38,450 at Fort Dix thought was that they might 467 00:18:44,970 --> 00:18:41,780 be responsible for so what do they do 468 00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:44,980 when a Fort Dix being a military 469 00:18:52,980 --> 00:18:48,799 establishment they came down from 470 00:18:57,180 --> 00:18:52,990 helicopters a SWAT team from Fort Dix 471 00:19:02,110 --> 00:18:57,190 Delta Force no less and state police 472 00:19:05,830 --> 00:19:02,120 tactical squad and burnt the place down 473 00:19:10,210 --> 00:19:05,840 they blew it up they did like a a Waco 474 00:19:12,340 --> 00:19:10,220 Texas flamethrowers the whole bit burned 475 00:19:16,690 --> 00:19:12,350 the place down and killed maybe six or 476 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:16,700 seven people so that was that but there 477 00:19:28,090 --> 00:19:19,850 was no reporting at all that this 478 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:28,100 happened nothing so what was this all 479 00:19:33,909 --> 00:19:32,330 about did this really happen or did 480 00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:33,919 somebody make this story up Mac what do 481 00:19:39,299 --> 00:19:37,520 you think well those are the that was 482 00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:39,309 the strange thing because when we were 483 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:42,080 researching the chapter in the book that 484 00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:44,570 we're at I'll yeah all I have to run 485 00:19:52,530 --> 00:19:47,230 sanitized 486 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:52,540 but c'mere this headphone okay now 487 00:20:02,160 --> 00:19:56,770 that's better okay you didn't take that 488 00:20:03,330 --> 00:20:02,170 as an insult Oh makes me feel so much 489 00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:03,340 better 490 00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:07,600 no um when we would you know research in 491 00:20:10,860 --> 00:20:09,310 the chapter for this book and you know 492 00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:10,870 and heard that story that you just told 493 00:20:15,450 --> 00:20:13,360 there's so many my kind of fascinating 494 00:20:16,410 --> 00:20:15,460 aspects to it the twins and how smart 495 00:20:18,270 --> 00:20:16,420 they were rather get thrown out of 496 00:20:21,420 --> 00:20:18,280 Princeton the Airstream trailer it's 497 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:21,430 Fort Dix Delta for us the word amazing 498 00:20:26,820 --> 00:20:24,010 and as it turned out one of the 499 00:20:31,290 --> 00:20:26,830 explanations for all this is that this 500 00:20:35,220 --> 00:20:31,300 story was the first myth started on the 501 00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:35,230 internet yeah the first legend right and 502 00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:37,150 the people there were people who were 503 00:20:40,650 --> 00:20:38,880 these people who were at the very 504 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:40,660 beginning of the founding of the 505 00:20:44,340 --> 00:20:42,970 Internet some of these people you know 506 00:20:46,020 --> 00:20:44,350 we're kind of way out thinkers and they 507 00:20:47,310 --> 00:20:46,030 thought well what we look what we have 508 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:47,320 here and they were right in a way 509 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:49,570 and they said if we start kind of 510 00:20:53,850 --> 00:20:52,210 planting these stories around back then 511 00:20:55,710 --> 00:20:53,860 it was bulletin boards which you know I 512 00:20:57,390 --> 00:20:55,720 just be able to remember bulletin boards 513 00:20:58,740 --> 00:20:57,400 but it's where people used to just write 514 00:20:59,340 --> 00:20:58,750 and leave letters and messages for each 515 00:21:02,390 --> 00:20:59,350 other right 516 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:02,400 yeah right they started the story about 517 00:21:10,380 --> 00:21:05,170 the twins and aunt Long's hat and so on 518 00:21:11,850 --> 00:21:10,390 and and what happened was exactly what 519 00:21:13,530 --> 00:21:11,860 they wanted to happen because the only 520 00:21:17,910 --> 00:21:13,540 way that you can really explain it is 521 00:21:19,770 --> 00:21:17,920 like that kids game where I think it's 522 00:21:21,150 --> 00:21:19,780 called telephone work when kid says 523 00:21:23,100 --> 00:21:21,160 something to the other kid and then they 524 00:21:24,510 --> 00:21:23,110 pass it on my whispering by the time you 525 00:21:27,690 --> 00:21:24,520 see how accurate the story is at the 526 00:21:29,610 --> 00:21:27,700 other end at the other end exactly right 527 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:29,620 and that's what happened in this in this 528 00:21:33,450 --> 00:21:31,810 story they blossomed and and it's 529 00:21:38,100 --> 00:21:33,460 exactly how the people who started it 530 00:21:39,780 --> 00:21:38,110 wanted it to be and even now people go 531 00:21:42,510 --> 00:21:39,790 to the Pine Barrens expecting to see 532 00:21:45,030 --> 00:21:42,520 where the yes dream trailer was a long 533 00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:45,040 time so it in a way they want you to 534 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:46,570 believe they're kind of eggheads in a 535 00:21:52,290 --> 00:21:49,090 way you'll probably experience or see 536 00:21:54,210 --> 00:21:52,300 some of the things that took place and 537 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:54,220 then embellish it in their own minds and 538 00:21:57,780 --> 00:21:55,690 then right yes exactly 539 00:22:00,240 --> 00:21:57,790 now this is this was in the middle of a 540 00:22:00,750 --> 00:22:00,250 place that is freaking haunted anyway so 541 00:22:01,950 --> 00:22:00,760 unique 542 00:22:03,150 --> 00:22:01,960 go there and you know something weirds 543 00:22:06,690 --> 00:22:03,160 gonna

book 649 00:26:30,889 --> 00:26:29,219 might have to pay a couple extra bucks 650 00:26:33,289 --> 00:26:30,899 for because it's you know out of print 651 00:26:37,639 --> 00:26:33,299 and so forth but this guy's life is just 652 00:26:38,749 --> 00:26:37,649 absolutely fascinating it's uh he did 653 00:26:41,619 --> 00:26:38,759 everything his war hero 654 00:26:45,619 --> 00:26:41,629 it was in the beginning of World War two 655 00:26:47,869 --> 00:26:45,629 flew as a pilot and just a really really 656 00:26:49,999 --> 00:26:47,879 fascinating life and you know toward the 657 00:26:52,519 --> 00:26:50,009 it was later on that he became 658 00:26:54,259 --> 00:26:52,529 interested in the UFO mystery but let's 659 00:26:58,129 --> 00:26:54,269 go let's go back a little bit he was 660 00:27:02,799 --> 00:26:58,139 born in 1921 had a really really rough 661 00:27:05,479 --> 00:27:02,809 early life his father was a a West 662 00:27:08,389 --> 00:27:05,489 Hartlepool I guess that's the way to 663 00:27:10,159 --> 00:27:08,399 pronounce it Hartlepool merchant that 664 00:27:12,049 --> 00:27:10,169 which was a timber merchant and they 665 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:12,059 were ship owners well they were very 666 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:14,129 prosperous at one time but all the 667 00:27:17,089 --> 00:27:15,570 sudden the bottom fell out of the 668 00:27:22,249 --> 00:27:17,099 business and his father committed 669 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:22,259 suicide his his mom lived for some years 670 00:27:26,450 --> 00:27:24,210 afterwards but in very ill health and 671 00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:26,460 then she died he was the youngest of 672 00:27:30,289 --> 00:27:28,289 seven children and I guess there was 673 00:27:31,879 --> 00:27:30,299 some money left where at least the 674 00:27:33,409 --> 00:27:31,889 children could get some you know he was 675 00:27:36,109 --> 00:27:33,419 in schools for a while so he did get an 676 00:27:38,180 --> 00:27:36,119 education mm-hmm but the first chance he 677 00:27:38,869 --> 00:27:38,190 got he wanted to join the Merchant 678 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:38,879 Marine 679 00:27:46,579 --> 00:27:42,690 so in 1939 he became a deck boy for the 680 00:27:49,519 --> 00:27:46,589 t SS Cyclops it was a turbine steamship 681 00:27:51,709 --> 00:27:49,529 okay it was part of what they called the 682 00:27:54,469 --> 00:27:51,719 blue funnel a blue funnel steamer 683 00:27:55,669 --> 00:27:54,479 okay blue funnel line and they it served 684 00:27:57,379 --> 00:27:55,679 the British Empire they would you know 685 00:28:00,229 --> 00:27:57,389 transport goods back and forth across 686 00:28:02,930 --> 00:28:00,239 the vast British Empire and of course he 687 00:28:07,009 --> 00:28:02,940 was starting out low he was swabbing 688 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:07,019 decks and shoveling coal so but there 689 00:28:13,489 --> 00:28:09,570 was uh was an interesting experience he 690 00:28:15,979 --> 00:28:13,499 had some a turning point he was uh he 691 00:28:18,589 --> 00:28:15,989 was on he was alone one time he had the 692 00:28:20,149 --> 00:28:18,599 access to the ship's radio listening 693 00:28:22,639 --> 00:28:20,159 some dance music from London and so 694 00:28:24,979 --> 00:28:22,649 forth and then he he here is an American 695 00:28:27,739 --> 00:28:24,989 voice and the American voice says 696 00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:27,749 something like terrible events have been 697 00:28:33,109 --> 00:28:30,089 happening in Europe German troops have 698 00:28:34,940 --> 00:28:33,119 just crossed the border of Poland so 699 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:34,950 that was of course the you know one of 700 00:28:40,639 --> 00:28:36,210 the turning point for World War two 701 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:40,649 where England and so he wanted to get 702 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:41,610 back to England so he 703 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:43,890 for the immigration officer and he 704 00:28:49,270 --> 00:28:45,450 wanted to get on another ship to get 705 00:28:53,390 --> 00:28:49,280 back to England and now they were in the 706 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:53,400 on the Malay Peninsula okay 707 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:55,410 and near Singapore okay this is a this 708 00:29:00,350 --> 00:28:56,970 is all under British control at that 709 00:29:04,190 --> 00:29:00,360 time temporarily but go ahead yes yes 710 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:04,200 and well he much of the immigration 711 00:29:09,230 --> 00:29:07,170 officer he said uh sorry you're gonna 712 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:09,240 have to stay aboard the ship until the 713 00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:12,450 this emergency is over and you know God 714 00:29:16,159 --> 00:29:14,429 knows only knew how long that would be 715 00:29:20,780 --> 00:29:16,169 only the British are called worldwide to 716 00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:20,790 an emergency so anyway this guy Peter 717 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:22,799 Horsley would not be kept down before 718 00:29:26,870 --> 00:29:24,570 anybody on it on his ship to find out 719 00:29:30,020 --> 00:29:26,880 what the deal was that he was restricted 720 00:29:33,110 --> 00:29:30,030 he requested permission to get on the t 721 00:29:34,370 --> 00:29:33,120 SS Menelaus and so he got on there and 722 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:34,380 gotten on that ship headed back to 723 00:29:37,850 --> 00:29:36,330 England before anybody knew that he was 724 00:29:39,620 --> 00:29:37,860 supposed to be restricted to the boat so 725 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:39,630 he was a crafty he was a craft oh yeah 726 00:29:43,610 --> 00:29:41,010 he was and that's that's just the 727 00:29:45,380 --> 00:29:43,620 beginning of it so he's on a Menelaus it 728 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:45,390 gets back to Britain and of course it's 729 00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:47,010 uh it's lights out you know they're 730 00:29:51,230 --> 00:29:49,049 being bombed and so forth money pretty 731 00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:51,240 nerve-wracking and then he finds out 732 00:29:56,659 --> 00:29:54,000 that the Merchant Navy has become a 733 00:29:58,220 --> 00:29:56,669 restricted occupation so they've told 734 00:30:01,070 --> 00:29:58,230 him that he would have to stay there for 735 00:30:04,100 --> 00:30:01,080 the duration of the war so he said well 736 00:30:06,770 --> 00:30:04,110 hell with that so he got a request [\h__\h] 737 00:30:09,919 --> 00:30:06,780 for leave took off and didn't come back 738 00:30:11,900 --> 00:30:09,929 he he just sorted the Merchant Navy yes 739 00:30:13,700 --> 00:30:11,910 which which I thought it would be you 740 00:30:16,370 --> 00:30:13,710 know would just end his career but 741 00:30:18,700 --> 00:30:16,380 apparently not the in reading his 742 00:30:21,590 --> 00:30:18,710 autobiography the only thing that that 743 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:21,600 restricted him from he could not get 744 00:30:26,570 --> 00:30:23,490 into the British Navy because he'd done 745 00:30:29,570 --> 00:30:26,580 that but there was no restriction on him 746 00:30:31,820 --> 00:30:29,580 getting in the RAF so that I don't 747 00:30:34,310 --> 00:30:31,830 understand but that's the way it was RAF 748 00:30:35,510 --> 00:30:34,320 is the Royal Air Force the right so 749 00:30:38,060 --> 00:30:35,520 that's kind of what he wanted to do 750 00:30:39,770 --> 00:30:38,070 anyway so he was very very careful early 751 00:30:41,630 --> 00:30:39,780 in the Home Guard you know what that was 752 00:30:44,930 --> 00:30:41,640 oh yeah yeah yeah did you guys ever see 753 00:30:46,940 --> 00:30:44,940 dad's army there's a

treacherous stuff because 802 00:32:33,609 --> 00:32:31,700 they had to fly a low-level they had to 803 00:32:35,799 --> 00:32:33,619 navigate in the dark you know they had 804 00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:35,809 to try to visually find various 805 00:32:39,580 --> 00:32:37,279 landmarks and we're trying to find of 806 00:32:41,889 --> 00:32:39,590 course German air strips without without 807 00:32:45,460 --> 00:32:41,899 hardly any lighting so forth so this is 808 00:32:48,729 --> 00:32:45,470 pretty pretty treacherous though so one 809 00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:48,739 fateful night over the Cherbourg 810 00:32:54,970 --> 00:32:51,980 and insula Normandy mmm-hmm he gets shot 811 00:32:58,989 --> 00:32:54,980 down and he's on board with his 812 00:33:01,299 --> 00:32:58,999 navigator Frank Gunn and you know 813 00:33:03,549 --> 00:33:01,309 they're just chaos and so he's trying to 814 00:33:05,409 --> 00:33:03,559 get it situated where he can bail out 815 00:33:09,460 --> 00:33:05,419 and he's trying to help his navigator 816 00:33:13,270 --> 00:33:09,470 and it's you know pitch dark he 817 00:33:14,710 --> 00:33:13,280 he hits the water mm-hmm it's tangled in 818 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:14,720 the parachute the whole thing he's got a 819 00:33:21,909 --> 00:33:17,210 dinghy that's partially inflated excuse 820 00:33:25,330 --> 00:33:21,919 me what a dinghy okay my friend he says 821 00:33:28,049 --> 00:33:25,340 that's what I say pull it dig nice yeah 822 00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:28,059 we might have to bleep that up exactly 823 00:33:37,870 --> 00:33:33,710 but anyway he he's got no food no water 824 00:33:40,690 --> 00:33:37,880 no fresh water and he's just you know 825 00:33:42,039 --> 00:33:40,700 hoping for rescue so mbb know we'll be 826 00:33:45,039 --> 00:33:42,049 getting rescued by the good guys before 827 00:33:46,810 --> 00:33:45,049 the bad guys show up mm-hmm so not too 828 00:33:49,659 --> 00:33:46,820 long after that he hears the roar of 829 00:33:51,220 --> 00:33:49,669 some airplanes and he wonders you know 830 00:33:53,830 --> 00:33:51,230 messersmith's or Spitfires 831 00:33:55,630 --> 00:33:53,840 and then they were Spitfires mmm so

instrumental in beating the 835 00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:03,380 beating back the nazis yes of course but 836 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:07,250 anyway he nothing happened and it turned 837 00:34:11,409 --> 00:34:09,649 out if he found out later on much later 838 00:34:13,599 --> 00:34:11,419 on after he was rescued that those 839 00:34:15,310 --> 00:34:13,609 Spitfires never returned so they did 840 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:15,320 spot him they saw his position 841 00:34:20,169 --> 00:34:17,210 apparently but they never made it back 842 00:34:21,609 --> 00:34:20,179 well so three days go by 843 00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:21,619 he's um you know he's in his dinghy out 844 00:34:25,720 --> 00:34:23,570 in the ocean 845 00:34:27,159 --> 00:34:25,730 he's in it's some really rough weather 846 00:34:28,540 --> 00:34:27,169 too I mean he gets thrown out of this 847 00:34:31,300 --> 00:34:28,550 thing several times just to climb back 848 00:34:33,250 --> 00:34:31,310 in he's exhausted well and then toward 849 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:33,260 the end of this ordeal all of a sudden 850 00:34:38,260 --> 00:34:35,570 he it's almost like he's having an 851 00:34:40,119 --> 00:34:38,270 out-of-body experience he everything 852 00:34:42,550 --> 00:34:40,129 becomes very quiet and he's very 853 00:34:44,919 --> 00:34:42,560 peaceful he looks over and sees a man 854 00:34:46,750 -->

00:43:25,500 his friends but did he ever write a book 1065 00:43:28,910 --> 00:43:27,480 or anything about it the first he 1066 00:43:31,490 --> 00:43:28,920 actually didn't release it until he 1067 00:43:32,810 --> 00:43:31,500 wrote this autobiography which I came 1068 00:43:35,030 --> 00:43:32,820 out I think about originally about in 1069 00:43:36,290 --> 00:43:35,040 the 70s so he was he kept completely 1070 00:43:39,620 --> 00:43:36,300 quiet about this for decades 1071 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:39,630 Wow so someone of his caliber it must 1072 00:43:42,830 --> 00:43:41,370 have made an impression yeah to make an 1073 00:43:46,240 --> 00:43:42,840 impression on someone his caliber I 1074 00:43:48,830 --> 00:43:46,250 should say it must been eerie or 1075 00:43:50,780 --> 00:43:48,840 striking him is that this wasn't some 1076 00:43:53,900 --> 00:43:50,790 kind of weird situation then it turns 1077 00:43:56,020 --> 00:43:53,910 out to be a weird situation yeah even if 1078 00:43:58,970 --> 00:43:56,030 this was some kind of a staged event 1079 00:44:00,710 --> 00:43:58,980 this guy really seemed to have some kind 1080 00:44:02,810 --> 00:44:00,720 of a I don't know if I want to say 1081 00:44:05,570 --> 00:44:02,820 charisma but some you know he was really 1082 00:44:07,130 --> 00:44:05,580 right on from what Horsley was thinking 1083 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:07,140 and responding kind of ahead of time 1084 00:44:14,609 --> 00:44:09,810 before he even spoke to what he was 1085 00:44:20,519 --> 00:44:14,619 thinking yeah that's one 1086 00:44:23,339 --> 00:44:20,529 I would say yeah it's and so this guy is 1087 00:44:26,489 --> 00:44:23,349 he's long since departed the earth 1088 00:44:30,450 --> 00:44:26,499 assuming yes yes he but actually I did 1089 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:30,460 early I think about 2001 and Prince 1090 00:44:34,289 --> 00:44:32,410 Philip the commander has told me Prince 1091 00:44:37,109 --> 00:44:34,299 Philip was individual he's still around 1092 00:44:42,150 --> 00:44:37,119 he was very interested in UFOs sure at 1093 00:44:44,819 --> 00:44:42,160 some point yes apparently he was like I 1094 00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:44,829 say he he didn't want to he didn't want 1095 00:44:50,220 --> 00:44:47,410 it known I guess because of the possibly 1096 00:44:53,309 --> 00:44:50,230 the ridicule factor but this was early 1097 00:44:56,220 --> 00:44:53,319 on in the in some of the some of these 1098 00:44:57,509 --> 00:44:56,230 reports so it wasn't it didn't I don't 1099 00:44:59,789 --> 00:44:57,519 think it had quite the giggle factor 1100 00:45:01,380 --> 00:44:59,799 that it does now right we I think we 1101 00:45:04,349 --> 00:45:01,390 talked about this last week but yeah you 1102 00:45:07,289 --> 00:45:04,359 know someone had shown Winston Churchill 1103 00:45:09,839 --> 00:45:07,299 a photograph of a UFO that was taken by 1104 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:09,849 a plane in 1943 by a British 1105 00:45:12,630 --> 00:45:11,410 reconnaissance plane and there's 1106 00:45:15,749 --> 00:45:12,640 supposedly one of the most detailed 1107 00:45:18,450 --> 00:45:15,759 pictures of a UFO that you know was ever 1108 00:45:19,950 --> 00:45:18,460 in our possession he told the British 1109 00:45:21,779 --> 00:45:19,960 intelligence service to keep it under 1110 00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:21,789 wraps for 50 years because he thought 1111 00:45:26,749 --> 00:45:24,130 that religion would be our religion on 1112 00:45:29,039 --> 00:45:26,759 the planet would be lets say destroyed 1113 00:45:31,140 --> 00:45:29,049 because people would start asking 1114 00:45:32,759 --> 00:45:31,150 questions well you know if there were 1115 00:45:34,589 --> 00:45:32,769 people on other planets who saved them 1116 00:45:35,779 --> 00:45:34,599 you know do they have original sin do 1117 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:35,789 they have religion stuff like that 1118 00:45:40,229 --> 00:45:37,359 instead the British intelligence 1119 00:45:42,779 --> 00:45:40,239 actually destroyed the photo so I know 1120 00:45:46,099 --> 00:45:42,789 and you can give the British credit they 1121 00:45:47,910 --> 00:45:46,109 do put out a lot of their UFO 1122 00:45:50,759 --> 00:45:47,920 documentation things that they've 1123 00:45:52,950 --> 00:45:50,769 studies that they've done sightings that 1124 00:45:54,210 --> 00:45:52,960 British military pilots have made nigh 1125 00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:54,220 States keeps all that stuff secret 1126 00:46:01,259 --> 00:45:57,249 British actually release it on you know 1127 00:46:03,839 --> 00:46:01,269 a fairly regular basis and Peter Horsley 1128 00:46:06,269 --> 00:46:03,849 was in a way he was sort of a contact II 1129 00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:06,279 you know as opposed to say a buck G yeah 1130 00:46:08,910 --> 00:46:06,970 right sure 1131 00:46:11,700 --> 00:46:08,920 yeah and it's quite a contrast to some 1132 00:46:14,009 --> 00:46:11,710 of the we won't have time tonight but 1133 00:46:15,720 --> 00:46:14,019 some of the you know early American 1134 00:46:17,489 --> 00:46:15,730 contact days of the 50s like we've 1135 00:46:21,599 --> 00:46:17,499 mentioned George Adamson right sure yeah 1136 00:46:24,269 --> 00:46:21,609 yeah situation very really there's some 1137 00:46:27,569 --> 00:46:24,279 one way up the food chain you know like 1138 00:46:29,940 --> 00:46:27,579 the RAF becomes interested in this stuff 1139 00:46:33,630 --> 00:46:29,950 Amandla well I think the most impressive 1140 00:46:36,449 --> 00:46:33,640 part of this is the body of the record 1141 00:46:39,209 --> 00:46:36,459 that he has put forward on this and once 1142 00:46:41,039 --> 00:46:39,219 again tying into some of machs previous 1143 00:46:43,589 --> 00:46:41,049 writings it always seems that this seems 1144 00:46:46,589 --> 00:46:43,599 to reach a peak when we have a major 1145 00:46:49,709 --> 00:46:46,599 conflict going on these events always 1146 00:46:50,910 --> 00:46:49,719 seem to come up Switchblade I wanted to 1147 00:46:52,949 --> 00:46:50,920 bring to your attention the night that 1148 00:46:55,410 --> 00:46:52,959 we're taping the show here this is the 1149 00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:55,420 anniversary the 54th anniversary of 1150 00:47:00,749 --> 00:46:56,890 scott Carpenter in the mercury program 1151 00:47:02,009 --> 00:47:00,759 on orbit and I was you know getting 1152 00:47:06,049 --> 00:47:02,019 ready for the show tonight and doing a 1153 00:47:09,329 --> 00:47:06,059 little looking around and he he saw 1154 00:47:13,140 --> 00:47:09,339 fireflies and claimed to have seen a 1155 00:47:14,940 --> 00:47:13,150 saucer type vehicle outside his capsule 1156 00:47:16,739 --> 00:47:14,950 at one point now they did 1157 00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:16,749 jettison a balloon which was later 1158 00:47:21,499 --> 00:47:19,599 attributed to being the device and they 1159 00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:21,509 said you know

is very poor 1282 00:52:09,470 --> 00:52:04,880 we're gonna talk about this airplane 1283 00:52:11,510 --> 00:52:09,480 well the f-35 and it's it's being built 1284 00:52:13,310 --> 00:52:11,520 actually it's being built now there's 1285 00:52:15,349 --> 00:52:13,320 some of them that are flying around I 1286 00:52:16,970 --> 00:52:15,359 don't think it's is it officially 1287 00:52:20,510 --> 00:52:16,980 operational yet I don't think so is it 1288 00:52:22,550 --> 00:52:20,520 Rob it varies so the Marine Corps has 1289 00:52:26,630 --> 00:52:22,560 declared initial operating capability 1290 00:52:28,460 --> 00:52:26,640 right there so it is technically but it 1291 00:52:29,930 --> 00:52:28,470 also there's a debate about that so you 1292 00:52:33,650 --> 00:52:29,940 know is it actually combat ready and 1293 00:52:35,570 --> 00:52:33,660 right not we make might need to describe 1294 00:52:38,510 --> 00:52:35,580 the f-35 okay I think a lot of our 1295 00:52:41,839 --> 00:52:38,520 listeners will be familiar with it but 1296 00:52:42,710 --> 00:52:41,849 mmm so I could give it a go okay we 1297 00:52:44,990 --> 00:52:42,720 should just say that it's a very 1298 00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:45,000 controversial airplane because first of 1299 00:52:49,609 --> 00:52:46,290 all it costs a lot of money and the 1300 00:52:52,310 --> 00:52:49,619 initial reports you know about how it 1301 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:52,320 performs and things of that nature have 1302 00:52:56,690 --> 00:52:54,810 not been too good at least in the 1303 00:52:57,859 --> 00:52:56,700 mainstream media so what we're gonna do 1304 00:52:59,630 --> 00:52:57,869 today we just can talk about this 1305 00:53:01,190 --> 00:52:59,640 airplane it's it's interesting for 1306 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:01,200 people nobody uh planes but also if you 1307 00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:03,330 don't know about you know jet fighters 1308 00:53:06,890 --> 00:53:05,010 and so on I mean it's an interesting 1309 00:53:09,109 --> 00:53:06,900 story how this airplane 1310 00:53:11,990 --> 00:53:09,119 came to be and the commander is also 1311 00:53:14,059 --> 00:53:12,000 going to weigh in on it so uh Rob yes 1312 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:14,069 please just describe to the listeners 1313 00:53:18,980 --> 00:53:16,410 what the f-35 looks like what it's 1314 00:53:20,329 --> 00:53:18,990 supposed to do right so and yeah real 1315 00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:20,339 fast on your point 1316 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:23,210 the f-35 does has broke it into the 1317 00:53:28,309 --> 00:53:25,890 popular consciousness in a way that a 1318 00:53:32,329 --> 00:53:28,319 lot of military you know high tech 1319 00:53:39,019 --> 00:53:32,339 projects don't so but yeah so the f-35 1320 00:53:43,430 --> 00:53:39,029 is the military's attempt to replace the 1321 00:53:46,670 --> 00:53:43,440 f16 the a-10 warthog the f-18 and the 1322 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:46,680 Harrier jets with a single hyper 1323 00:53:52,730 --> 00:53:50,970 advanced stealth fighter and it be used 1324 00:53:54,799 --> 00:53:52,740 by the Air Force the Navy and the 1325 00:53:57,349 --> 00:53:54,809 Marines and so it would have parts in 1326 00:54:00,260 --> 00:53:57,359 common with you know some modifications 1327 00:54:04,549 --> 00:54:00,270 between each branch so it's a it's a 1328 00:54:06,470 --> 00:54:04,559 it's a air combat fighter they'll be 1329 00:54:08,510 --> 00:54:06,480 able to take off and land vertically for 1330 00:54:10,279 --> 00:54:08,520 the Marines the Marine version of the 1331 00:54:13,069 --> 00:54:10,289 plane which is very important for the 1332 00:54:15,799 --> 00:54:13,079 Marine Corps I would take off and land 1333 00:54:18,260 --> 00:54:15,809 from aircraft carriers for the Navy and 1334 00:54:22,490 --> 00:54:18,270 you'd also have a conventional runway 1335 00:54:24,410 --> 00:54:22,500 version for the Air Force so now if you 1336 00:54:26,269 --> 00:54:24,420 think of the f-16 and the a-10 and the 1337 00:54:28,190 --> 00:54:26,279 f-18 you know I've don't need to 1338 00:54:30,109 --> 00:54:28,200 describe in detail all of these aircraft 1339 00:54:32,210 --> 00:54:30,119 but these are very different airplanes 1340 00:54:34,940 --> 00:54:32,220 that have generally with different 1341 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:34,950 missions and different designs 1342 00:54:40,370 --> 00:54:38,490 the f-35 combines all of these into an 1343 00:54:42,620 --> 00:54:40,380 air superiority fighter a bomber or 1344 00:54:45,319 --> 00:54:42,630 close air support plane capable of 1345 00:54:48,279 --> 00:54:45,329 electronic warfare all of the above the 1346 00:54:50,599 --> 00:54:48,289 plan is for the f-35 to do it all and 1347 00:54:53,660 --> 00:54:50,609 have all these sophisticated bells and 1348 00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:53,670 whistles tricked-out radar to give it a 1349 00:54:58,789 --> 00:54:57,450 technological edge over everyone so 1350 00:55:02,349 --> 00:54:58,799 we're gonna build the United States will 1351 00:55:04,910 --> 00:55:02,359 build two and a half thousand of them 1352 00:55:06,950 --> 00:55:04,920 for just for the US military a bunch of 1353 00:55:08,539 --> 00:55:06,960 other countries are buying them they 1354 00:55:10,519 --> 00:55:08,549 will last through the twenty seventies 1355 00:55:11,980 --> 00:55:10,529 and a Lockheed Martin is making it so 1356 00:55:15,740 --> 00:55:11,990 that that's that's my objective 1357 00:55:18,319 --> 00:55:15,750 journalistic you know neutral take on it 1358 00:55:19,910 --> 00:55:18,329 now I write edit for website called Wars 1359 00:55:21,319 --> 00:55:19,920 boring and we're very critical at the 1360 00:55:24,980 --> 00:55:21,329 f-35 1361 00:55:27,799 --> 00:55:24,990 we don't think it's a very good idea we 1362 00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:27,809 think it actually that's under states 1363 00:55:32,630 --> 00:55:30,210 that we think it's a it's a disaster in 1364 00:55:34,190 --> 00:55:32,640 engineering why is design-wise so robbed 1365 00:55:35,809 --> 00:55:34,200 if I can interrupt you you think the 1366 00:55:40,069 --> 00:55:35,819 name should not be lightning - for the 1367 00:55:44,210 --> 00:55:40,079 f-35 it should be Titanic - it would be 1368 00:55:47,930 --> 00:55:44,220 yeah I it's as if the Titanic you know 1369 00:55:50,930 --> 00:55:47,940 we the most engineered ship to set sail 1370 00:55:54,230 --> 00:55:50,940 that had a unbelievable disaster on its 1371 00:55:56,089 --> 00:55:54,240 maiden voyage building Titanic's and 1372 00:55:58,549 --> 00:55:56,099 kept sailing them into icebergs over and 1373 00:56:00,730 --> 00:55:58,559 over again that that might come close to 1374 00:56:05,750 --> 00:56:00,740 it so I should probably talk about why 1375 00:56:08,210 --> 00:56:05,760 why I think it's a bad idea so so the 1376 00:56:10,700 --> 00:56:08,220 design of the aircraft when we talk 1377 00:56:12,349 --> 00:56:10,710 about the the these four different 1378 00:56:16,430 --> 00:56:12,359 aircraft like that it's replacing the 1379 00:56:18,140 --> 00:56:16,440 f16 the a-10 the f-18 the Harrier these 1380 00:56:21,380 --> 00:56:18,150 are designed differently because they're 1381 00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:21,390 optimized for different missions now 1382 00:56:25,490 --> 00:56:22,410 when you combine these different 1383 00:56:28,549 --> 00:56:25,500 missions and you you know into a single 1384 00:56:31,009 --> 00:56:28,559 airplane you have to make trade-offs and 1385 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:31,019 you have to any compromises absolutely 1386 00:56:37,490 --> 00:56:34,650 so for example the marine version of the 1387 00:56:39,319 --> 00:56:37,500 f-35 has a vertical lift fan in the 1388 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:39,329 middle to allow it to take off and land 1389 00:56:43,519 --> 00:56:41,490 like helicopter and it also adjusts its 1390 00:56:46,309 --> 00:56:43,529 rear nozzle on the engine to give it the 1391 00:56:48,829 --> 00:56:46,319 the jump that's right yes but the the 1392 00:56:50,299 --> 00:56:48,839 lift fan is crucial because it makes the 1393 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:50,309 airplane very fat in the center of the 1394 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:53,130 fuselage you also need smaller wings to 1395 00:56:57,620 --> 00:56:54,690 help it you know lift and take off 1396 00:57:00,769 --> 00:56:57,630 vertically the Air Force and maybe 1397 00:57:02,150 --> 00:57:00,779 versions do not have a lift fan but all 1398 00:57:04,069 --> 00:57:02,160 three of them have the same shape 1399 00:57:05,809 --> 00:57:04,079 they're designed to be compatible with 1400 00:57:08,359 --> 00:57:05,819 you know spare parts and that sort of 1401 00:57:13,039 --> 00:57:08,369 thing right coming yeah commonality is 1402 00:57:15,109 --> 00:57:13,049 critical here right but when you make 1403 00:57:17,749 --> 00:57:15,119 make it fat you give it little tiny 1404 00:57:19,190 --> 00:57:17,759 wings little you know little chicken 1405 00:57:21,859 --> 00:57:19,200 wings on an airplane 1406 00:57:23,779 --> 00:57:21,869 now you can't maneuver as well because 1407 00:57:27,589 --> 00:57:23,789 you need large wings to generate lift 1408 00:57:29,749 --> 00:57:27,599 right to make turns correct so you have 1409 00:57:32,839 --> 00:57:29,759 a plane that does not have for the Air 1410 00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:32,849 Force and the Navy planes that do not 1411 00:57:37,910 --> 00:57:34,970 have a lift fan but are 1412 00:57:39,620 --> 00:57:37,920 compromise in that sense they that you 1413 00:57:41,630 --> 00:57:39,630 know they're they're less maneuverable 1414 00:57:43,370 --> 00:57:41,640 despite not having the lift fan at all 1415 00:57:45,170 --> 00:57:43,380 so you're you're saying that the marine 1416 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:45,180 wing is the same size as the Air Force 1417 00:57:49,609 --> 00:57:47,250 and Navy variant uh that's not quite 1418 00:57:51,260 --> 00:57:49,619 this that I believe the Navy version has 1419 00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:51,270 slightly larger wing that it does not it 1420 00:57:56,329 --> 00:57:53,010 correct yeah so we were getting our 1421 00:57:58,819 --> 00:57:56,339 facts straight but as a dog fighter 1422 00:58:01,670 --> 00:57:58,829 you're in trouble because you have to be 1423 00:58:02,839 --> 00:58:01,680 highly maneuverable and in a turning 1424 00:58:04,730 --> 00:58:02,849 battle but do you have to be high 1425 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:04,740 renewable if you have the systems that 1426 00:58:08,390 --> 00:58:08,010 the f-35 has on it that's a very good 1427 00:58:11,599 --> 00:58:08,400 question 1428 00:58:14,990 --> 00:58:11,609 so I mean you're gonna compare apples to 1429 00:58:17,300 --> 00:58:15,000 apples the f16 can highly outmaneuver an 1430 00:58:19,309 --> 00:58:17,310 f-15 but the f-15 would never allow an 1431 00:58:22,190 --> 00:58:19,319 f-16 type aircraft to get close to it 1432 00:58:26,450 --> 00:58:22,200 so I understand your your generalization 1433 00:58:28,730 --> 00:58:26,460 on that and I have similar concerns when 1434 00:58:30,890 --> 00:58:28,740 we come in with one aircraft replace all 1435 00:58:32,270 --> 00:58:30,900 the others but I think one of the things 1436 00:58:34,010 --> 00:58:32,280 that you have to throw in there in that 1437 00:58:36,849 --> 00:58:34,020 beginning description of the aircraft is 1438 00:58:40,190 --> 00:58:36,859 this aircraft is not a revolutionary 1439 00:58:42,589 --> 00:58:40,200 increment on the scale we're skipping 1440 00:58:44,420 --> 00:58:42,599 about two or three steps and we're 1441 00:58:47,359 --> 00:58:44,430 putting an evolutionary change out there 1442 00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:47,369 to fit what the Air Force primarily is 1443 00:58:54,800 --> 00:58:50,490 leading here as the future air battle 1444 00:58:58,130 --> 00:58:54,810 and air maneuver battle of order using a 1445 00:59:01,819 --> 00:58:58,140 integrated digitally networked digital 1446 00:59:03,319 --> 00:59:01,829 cast digital is are so that the ability 1447 00:59:04,910 --> 00:59:03,329 you know ultimately the way they're 1448 00:59:09,319 --> 00:59:04,920 gonna answer something like the close 1449 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:09,329 air support is the soldier who sees the 1450 00:59:14,980 --> 00:59:11,250 target is going to be to communicate in 1451 00:59:17,569 --> 00:59:14,990 that system and have the f-35 targeted 1452 00:59:20,210 --> 00:59:17,579 literally and let that weapon system go 1453 00:59:25,609 --> 00:59:20,220 because it's all part of the the network 1454 00:59:27,290 --> 00:59:25,619 wow snap commander well okay so the the 1455 00:59:30,170 --> 00:59:27,300 fighting in the air and fighting from a 1456 00:59:34,069 --> 00:59:30,180 distance with all the digital sensors 1457 00:59:37,849 --> 00:59:34,079 and advanced band sensors and in close 1458 00:59:40,210 --> 00:59:37,859 air support or two different issues so 1459 00:59:43,849 --> 00:59:40,220 if I could address the the air-to-air 1460 00:59:46,670 --> 00:59:43,859 issue first yes the Pentagon and the Air 1461 00:59:48,259 --> 00:59:46,680 Force in particular has long had a 1462 00:59:50,509 --> 00:59:48,269 passion for by 1463 00:59:51,979 --> 00:59:50,519 beyond visual range so the argument is 1464 00:59:55,489 --> 00:59:51,989 is that the f-35b it's not as 1465 00:59:57,289 --> 00:59:55,499 maneuverable as an f-16 but it'll be 1466 01:00:00,559 --> 00:59:57,299 able to shoot down anything from 1467 01:00:04,699 --> 01:00:00,569 long-range before it gets close so it's 1468 01:00:06,859 --> 01:00:04,709 not really an issue but I don't I doubt 1469 01:00:08,359 --> 01:00:06,869 that I doubt that quite a lot now this 1470 01:00:11,059 --> 01:00:08,369 is we're going I'm gonna come in on your 1471 01:00:13,689 --> 01:00:11,069 wing here a little bit Robin and say 1472 01:00:15,739 --> 01:00:13,699 that historically we've had bvr 1473 01:00:16,969 --> 01:00:15,749 capability for a long time but we've 1474 01:00:19,009 --> 01:00:16,979 never used it because we're always 1475 01:00:21,889 --> 01:00:19,019 afraid we're gonna take down allied or 1476 01:00:23,899 --> 01:00:21,899 friendly our own folks because we don't 1477 01:00:24,619 --> 01:00:23,909 do the visual identification beyond 1478 01:00:28,249 --> 01:00:24,629 visual range 1479 01:00:31,909 --> 01:00:28,259 you can't trust the iff identification 1480 01:00:34,639 --> 01:00:31,919 Friend or Foe and yeah but that happened 1481 01:00:36,649 --> 01:00:34,649 in Vietnam to happen even more recently 1482 01:00:38,809 --> 01:00:36,659 some places like Iraq where we took 1483 01:00:40,909 --> 01:00:38,819 Blackhawk helicopters because we were 1484 01:00:43,069 --> 01:00:40,919 convinced with the human person in the 1485 01:00:44,689 --> 01:00:43,079 element that two Blackhawks that were 1486 01:00:46,159 --> 01:00:44,699 carrying a number of American service 1487 01:00:48,559 --> 01:00:46,169 people moving from northern Iraq to 1488 01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:48,569 central Iraq were hind helicopters or 1489 01:00:53,959 --> 01:00:51,119 hips and they were shot by a BB are shot 1490 01:00:55,969 --> 01:00:53,969 by an f15 directed by an AWACS so it's 1491 01:00:57,529 --> 01:00:55,979 happened very recently hey you listening 1492 01:00:59,719 --> 01:00:57,539 to Mac Maloney's military-style show 1493 01:01:00,679 --> 01:00:59,729 here on the public streaming network 1494 01:01:03,469 --> 01:01:00,689 we're in the middle of a debate about 1495 01:01:05,089 --> 01:01:03,479 the f-35 the new airplane coming on the 1496 01:01:07,249 --> 01:01:05,099 line for the USAF us and a lot of other 1497 01:01:08,899 --> 01:01:07,259 forces around the world some people love 1498 01:01:10,729 --> 01:01:08,909 it some people really don't like it 1499 01:01:12,379 --> 01:01:10,739 we're gonna go back to the debate now 1500 01:01:15,499 --> 01:01:12,389 with commander Cobra and Rob back house 1501 01:01:17,869 --> 01:01:15,509 and of laura's roaring right so the 1502 01:01:19,339 --> 01:01:17,879 point about you know what you have an 1503 01:01:22,879 --> 01:01:19,349 enemy plane coming at you and you're in 1504 01:01:24,439 --> 01:01:22,889 an f-35 you know if you if you let have 1505 01:01:28,189 --> 01:01:24,449 to let that plane get close so you can 1506 01:01:30,769 --> 01:01:28,199 identify it you know you're within you 1507 01:01:31,969 --> 01:01:30,779 know a mile you know you're you're gonna 1508 01:01:34,459 --> 01:01:31,979 get in close you're gonna be in close 1509 01:01:37,219 --> 01:01:34,469 combat and a dogfight and it's gonna 1510 01:01:39,019 --> 01:01:37,229 start maneuver maneuverability starts to 1511 01:01:41,719 --> 01:01:39,029 matter with either the missiles of the 1512 01:01:46,399 --> 01:01:41,729 guns to maneuver the aircraft to get a 1513 01:01:48,499 --> 01:01:46,409 kill shot and the fact that the Russians 1514 01:01:50,569 --> 01:01:48,509 and the Chinese know that the f-35 said 1515 01:01:52,419 --> 01:01:50,579 it disadvantage here they will do 1516 01:01:55,279 --> 01:01:52,429 everything in their power to exploit 1517 01:01:58,399 --> 01:01:55,289 exploit it and they get as close as 1518 01:02:01,550 --> 01:01:58,409 possible in a near battle and so you 1519 01:02:03,590 --> 01:02:01,560 know you that is that's 1520 01:02:05,210 --> 01:02:03,600 that it can fight it long-range than 1521 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:05,220 that well these technological solution 1522 01:02:09,350 --> 01:02:06,570 will solve all of our you know 1523 01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:09,360 air-to-air combat problems I just don't 1524 01:02:11,330 --> 01:02:10,770 believe it now there's a lot of close 1525 01:02:13,310 --> 01:02:11,340 air support 1526 01:02:15,650 --> 01:02:13,320 I'm gonna engage I give you tip of the 1527 01:02:16,910 --> 01:02:15,660 hat salute kudos on that because we 1528 01:02:19,220 --> 01:02:16,920 constantly have been down this road 1529 01:02:21,830 --> 01:02:19,230 before you know one of the things that 1530 01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:21,840 the f-35 has on it is it has an internal 1531 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:23,010 gun system on it 1532 01:02:26,930 --> 01:02:24,930 it doesn't have very many rounds on it 1533 01:02:28,490 --> 01:02:26,940 but it has an internal gun system and 1534 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:28,500 when the f4 came out and the f4 was 1535 01:02:34,610 --> 01:02:31,770 touted exactly the same way in 1960s 1536 01:02:36,620 --> 01:02:34,620 late 50s 1960 terms they didn't put a 1537 01:02:38,780 --> 01:02:36,630 gun on it because missiles were gonna 1538 01:02:40,700 --> 01:02:38,790 take care of everything and dogfighting 1539 01:02:43,190 --> 01:02:40,710 was no longer going to be an issue and 1540 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:43,200 then what happens Russian aircraft in 1541 01:02:47,450 --> 01:02:45,690 many instances Russian pilots Chinese 1542 01:02:51,650 --> 01:02:47,460 pilots and Northey and these pilots 1543 01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:51,660 tangle in far less inferior airplanes in 1544 01:02:56,210 --> 01:02:53,250 almost every category except they were 1545 01:02:58,070 --> 01:02:56,220 almost as fast if not faster had a gun 1546 01:03:00,530 --> 01:02:58,080 had a very simple missile and they could 1547 01:03:03,140 --> 01:03:00,540 out maneuver the f4 and we had what not 1548 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:03,150 trained for this mission so that's a 1549 01:03:08,090 --> 01:03:06,210 time that Vietnam Vietnam came along we 1550 01:03:09,740 --> 01:03:08,100 had not you're right they expected the 1551 01:03:12,140 --> 01:03:09,750 f4 phantom to be one of these airplanes 1552 01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:12,150 that would go up very high and and shoot 1553 01:03:16,370 --> 01:03:14,250 incoming bombers from miles and miles 1554 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:16,380 and miles away and the pilots never had 1555 01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:18,690 any training and Navy pilots the same 1556 01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:20,130 thing and I think at one point in 1557 01:03:25,220 --> 01:03:23,010 Vietnam I killed ratio was two MiG's for 1558 01:03:26,570 --> 01:03:25,230 every one of our airplanes right Jim 1559 01:03:28,730 --> 01:03:26,580 wants as well at least you're winning 1560 01:03:31,130 --> 01:03:28,740 you know to everyone that's all the harm 1561 01:03:32,570 --> 01:03:31,140 it was 10 to 15 or one in Korea and we 1562 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:32,580 were something like twenty to twenty 1563 01:03:37,580 --> 01:03:34,530 five to one in World War two right it 1564 01:03:39,020 --> 01:03:37,590 was just a horrible situation and it and 1565 01:03:41,090 --> 01:03:39,030 you're right they said the same things 1566 01:03:42,890 --> 01:03:41,100 about the F what this thing about the XO 1567 01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:42,900 to be to throw the other part of this 1568 01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:46,170 the rub the the technological change as 1569 01:03:51,470 --> 01:03:48,650 I said before not in line not a 1570 01:03:53,450 --> 01:03:51,480 generational kind of they're really 1571 01:03:56,390 --> 01:03:53,460 inking this thing up to three 1572 01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:56,400 evolutionary leaves up there I think 1573 01:03:59,960 --> 01:03:58,050 this is why they held on to the stealth 1574 01:04:02,150 --> 01:03:59,970 as much as they did to give the ability 1575 01:04:03,950 --> 01:04:02,160 that it's not going to be easily seen 1576 01:04:06,230 --> 01:04:03,960 that it's not going and it's going to be 1577 01:04:09,410 --> 01:04:06,240 linked digitally to the other aircraft 1578 01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:09,420 that are around it as they come up which 1579 01:04:13,250 --> 01:04:11,130 leads me to throw in early in this 1580 01:04:15,140 --> 01:04:13,260 discussion there is no way in heaven 1581 01:04:17,630 --> 01:04:15,150 this is going to be the only aircraft 1582 01:04:19,580 --> 01:04:17,640 that we produce of course at these at 1583 01:04:21,740 --> 01:04:19,590 this cost I don't I don't think it's 1584 01:04:23,330 --> 01:04:21,750 gonna be very easy to bring additional 1585 01:04:27,650 --> 01:04:23,340 aircraft and it's a very expensive 1586 01:04:29,960 --> 01:04:27,660 platform but it's going to bring about a 1587 01:04:31,730 --> 01:04:29,970 low cost fighter Allah we're going to 1588 01:04:34,190 --> 01:04:31,740 repeat what we've done a number of times 1589 01:04:39,050 --> 01:04:36,920 so let me Abbi step back just for a 1590 01:04:42,350 --> 01:04:39,060 moment um go back to the the close air 1591 01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:42,360 support and ground attack top angle 1592 01:04:47,060 --> 01:04:45,450 which we skipped over a bit so to your 1593 01:04:49,610 --> 01:04:47,070 arguments credit I don't think it's the 1594 01:04:52,790 --> 01:04:49,620 worst ground attacker in the world you 1595 01:04:55,100 --> 01:04:52,800 know with Chris and so one of the big 1596 01:04:56,390 --> 01:04:55,110 criticisms the f-35 is that can't carry 1597 01:04:58,310 --> 01:04:56,400 a lot of bombs that carries it 1598 01:05:01,850 --> 01:04:58,320 internally because of the stealth which 1599 01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:01,860 we talked about right but with precision 1600 01:05:06,050 --> 01:05:03,690 guided weapons that we use now I mean 1601 01:05:07,550 --> 01:05:06,060 this isn't Vietnam this isn't world war 1602 01:05:10,490 --> 01:05:07,560 two anymore so you can do a lot more 1603 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:10,500 than you used to with less so with the 1604 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:13,530 sensor fusion and with the ability to 1605 01:05:19,190 --> 01:05:16,890 you know to integrate with troops on the 1606 01:05:20,690 --> 01:05:19,200 ground with other aircraft if you want 1607 01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:20,700 to blow up a building or bridge you can 1608 01:05:25,610 --> 01:05:23,490 do that and you can do it with a pretty 1609 01:05:30,620 --> 01:05:25,620 big bomb you know you can fit two really 1610 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:30,630 big bombs inside this thing as a close 1611 01:05:34,340 --> 01:05:32,370 air support aircraft I'd say it's about 1612 01:05:36,380 --> 01:05:34,350 as good as the f16 and you know we do 1613 01:05:38,170 --> 01:05:36,390 have I mean so there are some you know 1614 01:05:41,630 --> 01:05:38,180 critics like Pierre sprey 1615 01:05:43,580 --> 01:05:41,640 who you know goes way back in the 1616 01:05:47,030 --> 01:05:43,590 Pentagon and had had a role in the a-10 1617 01:05:48,430 --> 01:05:47,040 the f-16 he says you know multi-role 1618 01:05:50,390 --> 01:05:48,440 aircraft you build a multi-role 1619 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:50,400 multi-role plane you're sunk from the 1620 01:05:54,050 --> 01:05:52,290 beginning and I always thought you know 1621 01:05:56,510 --> 01:05:54,060 Hebrew always like very lightweight very 1622 01:05:57,740 --> 01:05:56,520 agile planes but I like to but I mean 1623 01:06:02,090 --> 01:05:57,750 you know we have some pretty good 1624 01:06:05,300 --> 01:06:02,100 multi-role aircraft now I don't know if 1625 01:06:09,170 --> 01:06:05,310 we need a super expensive stealth you 1626 01:06:11,450 --> 01:06:09,180 know do it all you know airplane when we 1627 01:06:13,970 --> 01:06:11,460 know you could have cheaper options it's 1628 01:06:15,170 --> 01:06:13,980 it's just there's you know well let's go 1629 01:06:17,660 --> 01:06:15,180 back to your numbers though rub you're 1630 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:17,670 talking about 2500 of these in the 1631 01:06:22,670 --> 01:06:19,730 inventory of the United States alone 1632 01:06:24,860 --> 01:06:22,680 probably another additional 2,000 spread 1633 01:06:26,090 --> 01:06:24,870 across mostly NATO allies and probably 1634 01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:26,100 some of the other trusts that one's like 1635 01:06:30,170 --> 01:06:27,930 Japan and Korea at 1636 01:06:31,730 --> 01:06:30,180 this point in the Middle East well the 1637 01:06:32,690 --> 01:06:31,740 Middle East that's an interesting point 1638 01:06:34,460 --> 01:06:32,700 we're not going to see them in the 1639 01:06:35,780 --> 01:06:34,470 Middle East anytime soon because Israel 1640 01:06:38,630 --> 01:06:35,790 is gonna get them first and there wasn't 1641 01:06:41,150 --> 01:06:38,640 gonna happen for about 10 15 years and 1642 01:06:43,850 --> 01:06:41,160 then it's it's to keep the quantitative 1643 01:06:46,100 --> 01:06:43,860 edge for the Israelis ahead of their 1644 01:06:47,870 --> 01:06:46,110 their Arab neighbors yep but it's gonna 1645 01:06:49,460 --> 01:06:47,880 be exported to a lot of different places 1646 01:06:51,410 --> 01:06:49,470 and a lot of different a lot of 1647 01:06:53,750 --> 01:06:51,420 different countries have already kind of 1648 01:06:56,510 --> 01:06:53,760 gone in on this thing and now with all 1649 01:06:58,700 --> 01:06:56,520 this negative press I just wonder if I 1650 01:07:00,110 --> 01:06:58,710 can jump in here I just want to read 1651 01:07:02,780 --> 01:07:00,120 some a little bit of research I did 1652 01:07:04,340 --> 01:07:02,790 today listening smack mommy's mill 1653 01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:04,350 textile show you're in the middle of the 1654 01:07:09,710 --> 01:07:08,130 great f-35 debate I just looked at this 1655 01:07:11,780 --> 01:07:09,720 robbed from like a historic point of 1656 01:07:14,330 --> 01:07:11,790 view and I didn't really have to do 1657 01:07:18,130 --> 01:07:14,340 spend too much time researching it all I 1658 01:07:20,390 --> 01:07:18,140 had to do was like Google criticism of 1659 01:07:24,890 --> 01:07:20,400 historic fighter planes or something 1660 01:07:26,690 --> 01:07:24,900 like that like for instance there was 1661 01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:26,700 criticism of this one particular fighter 1662 01:07:29,660 --> 01:07:28,050 that said there was too large to be a 1663 01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:29,670 dedicated dog fighter and too expensive 1664 01:07:35,030 --> 01:07:31,890 to procure and large numbers let me 1665 01:07:36,530 --> 01:07:35,040 guess at 15 f-15 you know and at the 1666 01:07:38,780 --> 01:07:36,540 f-15 turned out to be the most 1667 01:07:42,290 --> 01:07:38,790 successful fighter in history it's never 1668 01:07:44,570 --> 01:07:42,300 been shot down it's like a 1/100 to zero 1669 01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:44,580 you know kill ratio mostly because the 1670 01:07:49,460 --> 01:07:46,770 Israelis knocking airplanes out of the 1671 01:07:52,130 --> 01:07:49,470 sky and and they built hundreds they I 1672 01:07:54,140 --> 01:07:52,140 think thousands for only quote unquote 1673 01:07:57,110 --> 01:07:54,150 forty three million dollars a piece 1674 01:08:00,380 --> 01:07:57,120 which is cheap these days parking at 1675 01:08:01,700 --> 01:08:00,390 twice the price alright his criticism of 1676 01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:01,710 another plane this plane was opposed 1677 01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:03,330 because there was too lightweight and 1678 01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:06,090 cheap relying only on a single engine 1679 01:08:10,910 --> 01:08:09,450 I'm guessing f-16 f16 is right f-16 1680 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:10,920 turned out to be one of them I mean 1681 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:13,170 other than the f-15 turned out to be one 1682 01:08:17,900 --> 01:08:15,090 of the best airplanes ever and what was 1683 01:08:20,300 --> 01:08:17,910 the loser airplane to the f-16 that 1684 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:20,310 would be the f7 7/7 which came in became 1685 01:08:25,790 --> 01:08:23,610 the f-18 exactly which was aptly and 1686 01:08:28,250 --> 01:08:25,800 based it as a replacement to the a6 the 1687 01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:28,260 f-14 and trying to put one common 1688 01:08:31,820 --> 01:08:29,730 airframe on to the aircraft carrier 1689 01:08:34,250 --> 01:08:31,830 right now we're building enf models 1690 01:08:36,710 --> 01:08:34,260 which went through a significant wing 1691 01:08:38,780 --> 01:08:36,720 problem on them that's why the wing on 1692 01:08:40,340 --> 01:08:38,790 the lightning to here had to have some 1693 01:08:41,270 --> 01:08:40,350 modifications to get it on off the 1694 01:08:44,670 --> 01:08:41,280 carrier 1695 01:08:48,030 --> 01:08:44,680 in a little historical nugget I picked 1696 01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:48,040 up in right when the f8 f-16 the f-15 1697 01:08:51,900 --> 01:08:49,690 they kind of came online right at the 1698 01:08:54,060 --> 01:08:51,910 same time US News and World Report 1699 01:08:56,340 --> 01:08:54,070 characterized both as America's jinx 1700 01:08:58,770 --> 01:08:56,350 jinx warplanes because both of them were 1701 01:09:00,570 --> 01:08:58,780 having as they say teething problems so 1702 01:09:04,260 --> 01:09:00,580 I went back a little bit more and it 1703 01:09:05,460 --> 01:09:04,270 turns out that you know people dumped on 1704 01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:05,470 that we're going back into the 1705 01:09:10,020 --> 01:09:07,570 historical kind of aspect of this ok 1706 01:09:12,480 --> 01:09:10,030 people dumped on the on the Mustang 1707 01:09:13,830 --> 01:09:12,490 the p-51 Mustang it was a dog when it 1708 01:09:14,700 --> 01:09:13,840 first came out aerodynamically 1709 01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:14,710 well-designed 1710 01:09:18,540 --> 01:09:16,810 crap American engine that was put in it 1711 01:09:20,460 --> 01:09:18,550 they put a rolls-royce engine in it and 1712 01:09:23,430 --> 01:09:20,470 it becomes maybe the most popular the 1713 01:09:25,860 --> 01:09:23,440 best fighter plane ever the p-51 can 1714 01:09:28,410 --> 01:09:25,870 still fly from England go do battle in 1715 01:09:30,540 --> 01:09:28,420 the middle of Germany and come back on 1716 01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:30,550 its fuel load and we still don't have 1717 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:31,690 fighters that could do that without 1718 01:09:35,850 --> 01:09:33,690 tanker support amazing 1719 01:09:38,670 --> 01:09:35,860 there was another plane of world war two 1720 01:09:40,530 --> 01:09:38,680 called the p38 and people criticized 1721 01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:40,540 that they had two engines right and 1722 01:09:45,210 --> 01:09:42,610 that's and had a very slow roll rate it 1723 01:09:47,070 --> 01:09:45,220 didn't it had an incredible air-to-air 1724 01:09:48,930 --> 01:09:47,080 capability and a ground attack 1725 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:48,940 capability but it didn't maneuver very 1726 01:09:54,180 --> 01:09:51,130 well and it was a very complicated 1727 01:09:56,070 --> 01:09:54,190 airplane to fly but it is the legacy 1728 01:09:58,200 --> 01:09:56,080 name interesting you bring this up Mac 1729 01:10:00,030 --> 01:09:58,210 it is the original lightning Brite the 1730 01:10:01,530 --> 01:10:00,040 original lightning the f-35 that's its 1731 01:10:01,950 --> 01:10:01,540 nickname and just going down the list 1732 01:10:04,710 --> 01:10:01,960 real quick 1733 01:10:06,810 --> 01:10:04,720 people criticize the f-86 because it was 1734 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:06,820 too slow and that was basically what won 1735 01:10:11,330 --> 01:10:08,770 the air war for us in Korea people 1736 01:10:14,730 --> 01:10:11,340 criticize the f-104 as being too fast 1737 01:10:17,160 --> 01:10:14,740 okay and it was used as a ground attack 1738 01:10:20,190 --> 01:10:17,170 aircraft by the Dutch and the Germans 1739 01:10:21,840 --> 01:10:20,200 they criticized the f-111 swing-wing is 1740 01:10:25,250 --> 01:10:21,850 being too complicated and it turned out 1741 01:10:27,530 --> 01:10:25,260 to be a really good fight Obama and and 1742 01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:27,540 therefore of course someone used to 1743 01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:29,770 describe it as a truck and in the 1744 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:31,090 airplane that looks like someone close 1745 01:10:36,060 --> 01:10:34,210 the hangar doors on it so basically what 1746 01:10:38,610 --> 01:10:36,070 I'm just saying is that each one of 1747 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:38,620 these airplanes has you know they go 1748 01:10:43,380 --> 01:10:41,410 through teething problems and they get 1749 01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:43,390 the problems straightened out and they 1750 01:10:46,950 --> 01:10:46,330 you know perform above and beyond the 1751 01:10:48,510 --> 01:10:46,960 call of duty 1752 01:10:50,100 --> 01:10:48,520 you know isn't this out we just going 1753 01:10:52,590 --> 01:10:50,110 through the same thing with the f-35 1754 01:10:53,970 --> 01:10:52,600 well you may be leaving out planes that 1755 01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:53,980 didn't work out they know they were 1756 01:10:56,910 --> 01:10:54,850 called out at the 1757 01:10:59,040 --> 01:10:56,920 time and they you know either their 1758 01:11:01,680 --> 01:10:59,050 numbers were drastically cut during 1759 01:11:03,900 --> 01:11:01,690 procurement so you know some planes that 1760 01:11:07,950 --> 01:11:03,910 were really good they were cut so I mean 1761 01:11:09,930 --> 01:11:07,960 the f-22 is a really really really hot 1762 01:11:12,270 --> 01:11:09,940 you know really nice air superiority 1763 01:11:15,270 --> 01:11:12,280 fighter but we have way we have a lot 1764 01:11:17,820 --> 01:11:15,280 fewer of them than we plan the b-2 was 1765 01:11:20,550 --> 01:11:17,830 cut from what was the original number he 1766 01:11:22,530 --> 01:11:20,560 was a guy almost up at 200 is what they 1767 01:11:25,710 --> 01:11:22,540 were expecting on the b2 but I think the 1768 01:11:28,710 --> 01:11:25,720 b2 is because they wanted a follow-on 1769 01:11:30,750 --> 01:11:28,720 capability sooner and they kept the b1 1770 01:11:33,210 --> 01:11:30,760 and the b-52 online so I think that 1771 01:11:35,640 --> 01:11:33,220 that's in the economics that you're 1772 01:11:38,160 --> 01:11:35,650 approaching here is is a critical part 1773 01:11:40,950 --> 01:11:38,170 of it because we are more involved as a 1774 01:11:42,810 --> 01:11:40,960 citizenry a nation and what's going on 1775 01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:42,820 in this controversy and of course you 1776 01:11:47,100 --> 01:11:44,050 know just add what we talk about here 1777 01:11:48,630 --> 01:11:47,110 almost every week about the governmental 1778 01:11:50,370 --> 01:11:48,640 military conspiracies the 1779 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:50,380 military-industrial complex this thing 1780 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:52,570 stinks from high heaven when you look at 1781 01:11:56,490 --> 01:11:54,010 this from the outside looking in right 1782 01:11:59,520 --> 01:11:56,500 one mega company doing this what the you 1783 01:12:02,310 --> 01:11:59,530 know 2070 we're talking about we're and 1784 01:12:03,900 --> 01:12:02,320 we have you can get anything you get any 1785 01:12:06,450 --> 01:12:03,910 information you want favorable or 1786 01:12:09,150 --> 01:12:06,460 negative on the f-35 in a level of of 1787 01:12:10,410 --> 01:12:09,160 depth that is unknown the previous 1788 01:12:12,930 --> 01:12:10,420 aircraft systems that we've dealt with 1789 01:12:14,730 --> 01:12:12,940 yeah it's strange hey you listen we're 1790 01:12:18,390 --> 01:12:14,740 gonna take a break now we're in half way 1791 01:12:19,830 --> 01:12:18,400 through I great f-35 debate and just one 1792 01:12:22,290 --> 01:12:19,840 tell our listeners that we'll be back 1793 01:12:24,450 --> 01:12:22,300 right after these commercials talking 1794 01:12:29,010 --> 01:12:24,460 about the f-35 about a billion trillion 1795 01:12:31,110 --> 01:12:29,020 dollar expensive thing in our defense 1796 01:12:33,930 --> 01:12:31,120 budget a lot of people say that it's not 1797 01:12:37,170 --> 01:12:33,940 worth you know anywhere near that kind 1798 01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:37,180 of price dang thank you 1799 01:12:41,010 --> 01:12:38,890 okay commander you're giving

01:13:34,250 --> 01:13:31,350 debate about this new airplane that the 1823 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:34,260 US military is building the f-35 it 1824 01:13:39,410 --> 01:13:35,850 costs like trillions of dollars they're 1825 01:13:41,480 --> 01:13:39,420 going to build a lot of them and a lot 1826 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:41,490 of people say that it's not worth it 1827 01:13:45,320 --> 01:13:43,650 that it's just you know I've read stuff 1828 01:13:47,420 --> 01:13:45,330 Juan Juan was just showing me stuff on 1829 01:13:48,980 --> 01:13:47,430 the internet and where they just you 1830 01:13:51,980 --> 01:13:48,990 know refer to this thing is just that F 1831 01:13:53,330 --> 01:13:51,990 and you know piece of junk and so on and 1832 01:13:57,710 --> 01:13:53,340 I just want to ask you a question is 1833 01:14:00,470 --> 01:13:57,720 like how long ago you know was this 1834 01:14:03,170 --> 01:14:00,480 design when when did the first you know 1835 01:14:04,550 --> 01:14:03,180 blank sheet of paper appear where they 1836 01:14:07,580 --> 01:14:04,560 said okay we have to design something 1837 01:14:10,900 --> 01:14:07,590 you know I may be wrong about this but 1838 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:10,910 the late 80s early 90s when the f-35 1839 01:14:16,460 --> 01:14:13,730 really started getting going okay so 1840 01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:16,470 we're talking about probably you know 1841 01:14:22,550 --> 01:14:19,170 doing drawings and stuff in the mid 90s 1842 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:22,560 late 90s I don't have an exact date I 1843 01:14:26,660 --> 01:14:24,810 was to win you know the first prototypes 1844 01:14:28,550 --> 01:14:26,670 that would be great with late 90s early 1845 01:14:29,930 --> 01:14:28,560 nineties and the other part of it of 1846 01:14:31,580 --> 01:14:29,940 course is it was an extension of a lot 1847 01:14:34,010 --> 01:14:31,590 of the stealth research that went on and 1848 01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:34,020 things like the f-22 and and the a12 1849 01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:35,850 Avenger in those aircraft so totally so 1850 01:14:39,410 --> 01:14:37,050 it's where do you draw the line exactly 1851 01:14:42,170 --> 01:14:39,420 is you know it's very late it's your 1852 01:14:44,060 --> 01:14:42,180 your um but I'm sure you're always kind 1853 01:14:46,910 --> 01:14:44,070 of like behind because it takes so long 1854 01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:46,920 to design these things and to ramp up 1855 01:14:51,590 --> 01:14:49,050 you know the manufacturing process and 1856 01:14:54,530 --> 01:14:51,600 stuff like that so basically the f-35 is 1857 01:14:57,320 --> 01:14:54,540 flying around with early you know 21st 1858 01:14:58,820 --> 01:14:57,330 century negative I don't I don't agree 1859 01:15:00,230 --> 01:14:58,830 with that at all the the breakthrough 1860 01:15:01,910 --> 01:15:00,240 stuff that's why they're having so much 1861 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:01,920 trouble with it because we haven't had 1862 01:15:06,440 --> 01:15:04,290 another series of aircraft in between 1863 01:15:06,740 --> 01:15:06,450 this if you can like him back the way 1864 01:15:08,270 --> 01:15:06,750 his 1865 01:15:10,820 --> 01:15:08,280 torkoal period is when we made the leap 1866 01:15:14,090 --> 01:15:10,830 the jet engines from the propeller 1867 01:15:15,950 --> 01:15:14,100 aircraft yes and at one point in the 50s 1868 01:15:17,540 --> 01:15:15,960 the Navy was considering never going to 1869 01:15:18,860 --> 01:15:17,550 jet aircraft because they couldn't get 1870 01:15:20,900 --> 01:15:18,870 him on two carriers because the 1871 01:15:23,270 --> 01:15:20,910 technology of the jet engine at its time 1872 01:15:24,500 --> 01:15:23,280 was so poor it it took so long to cycle 1873 01:15:26,480 --> 01:15:24,510 it up when you made the approach onto 1874 01:15:28,730 --> 01:15:26,490 the boat and we're still using straight 1875 01:15:31,610 --> 01:15:28,740 deck carriers it was considered it was 1876 01:15:33,020 --> 01:15:31,620 unsuitable okay you have the same thing 1877 01:15:34,910 --> 01:15:33,030 going on here you have breakthrough 1878 01:15:37,910 --> 01:15:34,920 technology we're rushing to it in some 1879 01:15:39,410 --> 01:15:37,920 instances and we live in a world where 1880 01:15:41,540 --> 01:15:39,420 every failure that we used to happen 1881 01:15:43,490 --> 01:15:41,550 before and was expected is now treated 1882 01:15:45,380 --> 01:15:43,500 as a major stopping point 1883 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:45,390 well we've said on this show many times 1884 01:15:49,490 --> 01:15:47,850 that out of the 10 secret projects that 1885 01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:49,500 take place out at area 51 1886 01:15:53,060 --> 01:15:51,450 you know aircraft and stuff like that 1887 01:15:55,190 --> 01:15:53,070 nine of them never see the light of day 1888 01:15:56,690 --> 01:15:55,200 it's that tenth one you know that they 1889 01:15:59,990 --> 01:15:56,700 come out and they make you know hundreds 1890 01:16:02,090 --> 01:16:00,000 and so on and in most cases become a 1891 01:16:04,490 --> 01:16:02,100 very successful thing there was a time 1892 01:16:06,020 --> 01:16:04,500 back and before World War two in during 1893 01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:06,030 World War two where you had two 1894 01:16:09,530 --> 01:16:07,770 different levels of fighters you know 1895 01:16:11,540 --> 01:16:09,540 you would have kind of like lesser 1896 01:16:14,300 --> 01:16:11,550 fighters like the p39 and stuff like 1897 01:16:16,250 --> 01:16:14,310 that it doesn't really compare to a p-51 1898 01:16:18,140 --> 01:16:16,260 or something like that but these days 1899 01:16:19,910 --> 01:16:18,150 you just you got to make one and it 1900 01:16:21,740 --> 01:16:19,920 seems like this one you know the Marines 1901 01:16:23,840 --> 01:16:21,750 wanted for this to take off the Navy 1902 01:16:26,420 --> 01:16:23,850 wants it to this to defend the fleet the 1903 01:16:27,740 --> 01:16:26,430 effluence wants this you know and I can 1904 01:16:29,390 --> 01:16:27,750 see where a lot of people was we were 1905 01:16:31,910 --> 01:16:29,400 just having before it's like the Swiss 1906 01:16:33,470 --> 01:16:31,920 Army knife of aircraft and at some point 1907 01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:33,480 don't you just pile on just too much 1908 01:16:37,490 --> 01:16:35,970 crap and it takes away one little thing 1909 01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:37,500 takes away from everything else that's 1910 01:16:41,450 --> 01:16:39,510 what I mean that's my argument so but 1911 01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:41,460 we're talking about ground attack 1912 01:16:44,900 --> 01:16:43,410 earlier and I think it could evolve into 1913 01:16:46,210 --> 01:16:44,910 a you know a pretty good bomber made a 1914 01:16:47,390 --> 01:16:46,220 pretty good ground attack aircraft 1915 01:16:51,710 --> 01:16:47,400 dogfighting 1916 01:16:55,190 --> 01:16:51,720 I really really afraid for pilots flying 1917 01:16:59,510 --> 01:16:55,200 this in a dogfight but you know it's not 1918 01:17:02,950 --> 01:16:59,520 the worst ground attacker the so also 1919 01:17:07,100 --> 01:17:02,960 going back to when it when the f-35 1920 01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:07,110 originated so we can build aircraft very 1921 01:17:11,780 --> 01:17:09,090 quickly this is taken a very long time 1922 01:17:13,310 --> 01:17:11,790 and we could have a probably have a 1923 01:17:15,700 --> 01:17:13,320 better ground attack aircraft we have a 1924 01:17:20,620 --> 01:17:15,710 better air superiority fighter for less 1925 01:17:24,110 --> 01:17:20,630 but I think what happened was is that 1926 01:17:25,370 --> 01:17:24,120 so in that late 80s early 90s the United 1927 01:17:27,620 --> 01:17:25,380 States was losing its main military 1928 01:17:30,470 --> 01:17:27,630 rival which was the Soviet Union okay 1929 01:17:32,690 --> 01:17:30,480 and the United States also in 1991 1930 01:17:35,270 --> 01:17:32,700 obliterated the Iraqi army in the 1931 01:17:38,660 --> 01:17:35,280 Persian Gulf War right and that gave the 1932 01:17:40,130 --> 01:17:38,670 Pentagon this video game idea that 1933 01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:40,140 superior technology will always make you 1934 01:17:46,220 --> 01:17:42,930 invulnerable and anyone who studies 1935 01:17:48,230 --> 01:17:46,230 warfare will know that's often the case 1936 01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:48,240 well let's just look at where we've been 1937 01:17:53,330 --> 01:17:50,610 for the last 15 years we had a striking 1938 01:17:56,540 --> 01:17:53,340 blow out in 91 in Desert Storm veteran 1939 01:17:58,520 --> 01:17:56,550 of that get-together it was a lot of it 1940 01:18:00,020 --> 01:17:58,530 was delivered by stealth we don't ever 1941 01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:00,030 talk about the fact that was Apache 1942 01:18:03,890 --> 01:18:01,890 helicopters and pavol helicopters that 1943 01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:03,900 blue the original radar hole that let 1944 01:18:09,350 --> 01:18:06,810 the 117 go in let that set aside in the 1945 01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:09,360 historical dustbin because the 117 saved 1946 01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:11,010 us and now we have 15 years of 1947 01:18:15,440 --> 01:18:13,410 continuous war and we're looking for how 1948 01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:15,450 we're gonna get out of that kind of well 1949 01:18:19,220 --> 01:18:17,250 look at Vietnam I mean you know they 1950 01:18:21,290 --> 01:18:19,230 beat us with what symbols they made out 1951 01:18:23,030 --> 01:18:21,300 of the bottom of truck tires and the 1952 01:18:24,800 --> 01:18:23,040 person go for you know we had American 1953 01:18:26,810 --> 01:18:24,810 troops who were you know very well 1954 01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:26,820 trained and you know the Iraqi army was 1955 01:18:32,180 --> 01:18:29,850 very badly led you know and we had six 1956 01:18:33,980 --> 01:18:32,190 months to prepare on the doorstep get 1957 01:18:35,810 --> 01:18:33,990 ready with no contest right so I think 1958 01:18:37,850 --> 01:18:35,820 that I think that's created aside from 1959 01:18:39,980 --> 01:18:37,860 that a perfect example to base all 1960 01:18:42,410 --> 01:18:39,990 future warfare no sure right well look 1961 01:18:44,990 --> 01:18:42,420 the f-35 has not developed out of an 1962 01:18:46,850 --> 01:18:45,000 urgent need so you know there is no 1963 01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:46,860 military force on the planet that can 1964 01:18:50,420 --> 01:18:48,690 challenge the United States globally and 1965 01:18:52,190 --> 01:18:50,430 win regionally it's different Russia 1966 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:52,200 China China in the western Pacific 1967 01:18:56,420 --> 01:18:54,930 different story right but you know the 1968 01:18:58,790 --> 01:18:56,430 United States Air Force is the largest 1969 01:19:02,780 --> 01:18:58,800 most powerful most advanced air force in 1970 01:19:05,210 --> 01:19:02,790 the world and I hate when things in the 1971 01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:05,220 military are actually needed the system 1972 01:19:10,580 --> 01:19:07,890 works better so in the Iraq war in 2003 1973 01:19:12,530 --> 01:19:10,590 we found this is very different example 1974 01:19:15,260 --> 01:19:12,540 but bear with me we found that our 1975 01:19:17,570 --> 01:19:15,270 Humvees like lightly armored Humvees 1976 01:19:19,730 --> 01:19:17,580 were getting bombed so we quickly got 1977 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:19,740 more of these effective more heavily 1978 01:19:25,070 --> 01:19:23,130 armored vehicles the f-35 does not have 1979 01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:25,080 a realistic enemy there's no other 1980 01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:26,370 country in the world that's mass 1981 01:19:33,530 --> 01:19:29,370 producing stealth fighters and without 1982 01:19:35,870 --> 01:19:33,540 urgency the military oh that 1983 01:19:38,330 --> 01:19:35,880 branches its service branches the Air 1984 01:19:40,220 --> 01:19:38,340 Force the Navy Marines have more of an 1985 01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:40,230 incentive to add their own desired 1986 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:43,290 features on to this pet project which 1987 01:19:50,450 --> 01:19:47,210 increases blow which increases cost so 1988 01:19:54,020 --> 01:19:50,460 there's not really any real reason the 1989 01:19:56,090 --> 01:19:54,030 f-35 needs to work so that's why 1990 01:19:59,930 --> 01:19:56,100 everyone involved you know from the 1991 01:20:02,060 --> 01:19:59,940 programmers working on the software you 1992 01:20:05,420 --> 01:20:02,070 know contractors receiving kickbacks 1993 01:20:08,930 --> 01:20:05,430 from you know with the Pentagon 1994 01:20:11,780 --> 01:20:08,940 officials you know it's it's it's we 1995 01:20:14,690 --> 01:20:11,790 don't need it now and so but I do need 1996 01:20:16,820 --> 01:20:14,700 my career in my job yeah something for 1997 01:20:18,320 --> 01:20:16,830 the next now we're driving back into the 1998 01:20:20,900 --> 01:20:18,330 area then the military industrial 1999 01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:20,910 complex which we all I think would I 2000 01:20:25,370 --> 01:20:22,650 think in this group would agree is not 2001 01:20:27,050 --> 01:20:25,380 always in the best interest of fielding 2002 01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:27,060 the best weapon system as quick as 2003 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:28,770 possible right see that's exactly my 2004 01:20:32,540 --> 01:20:30,570 question is that I understand what you 2005 01:20:34,340 --> 01:20:32,550 mean where things are you know made 2006 01:20:36,620 --> 01:20:34,350 better you know when there's an urgent 2007 01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:36,630 need but you know this thing as you said 2008 01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:39,930 you know they've from design to actual 2009 01:20:45,140 --> 01:20:42,530 airplane as taking almost twenty years 2010 01:20:46,610 --> 01:20:45,150 how can you how can you you know the way 2011 01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:46,620 that the system is set up to build 2012 01:20:50,420 --> 01:20:47,970 airplanes that fill these you know 2013 01:20:52,190 --> 01:20:50,430 unbelievably high advanced aircraft but 2014 01:20:55,550 --> 01:20:52,200 they take so damn long to do it how can 2015 01:20:57,440 --> 01:20:55,560 you possibly thought a you know 2016 01:20:59,870 --> 01:20:57,450 something an urgent need like that well 2017 01:21:01,520 --> 01:20:59,880 if you I didn't need now the plane will 2018 01:21:04,790 --> 01:21:01,530 come out but the urgent need is being 2019 01:21:07,930 --> 01:21:04,800 handled by enf model f-18s Strike Eagle 2020 01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:07,940 versions of the f-15 it were up to what 2021 01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:11,010 gh model f-16 that's how we've been 2022 01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:13,410 covering the the the the urgent need us 2023 01:21:17,120 --> 01:21:15,090 it's come up and we're not really being 2024 01:21:19,130 --> 01:21:17,130 contested on an urgent need what is the 2025 01:21:20,630 --> 01:21:19,140 urgent need well that the questioning 2026 01:21:23,330 --> 01:21:20,640 that we're battling with you know we've 2027 01:21:24,860 --> 01:21:23,340 had this enduring perpetual war cycle 2028 01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:24,870 that everyone's realized we need to get 2029 01:21:29,540 --> 01:21:26,730 out of maybe the solution is you take 2030 01:21:31,310 --> 01:21:29,550 something like c-130s and c-17s you fill 2031 01:21:33,890 --> 01:21:31,320 them with precision weapons you have an 2032 01:21:35,450 --> 01:21:33,900 f-35 out for that select that the 2033 01:21:37,490 --> 01:21:35,460 targets and is doing the targeting and 2034 01:21:39,830 --> 01:21:37,500 who knows what explained we talked about 2035 01:21:41,900 --> 01:21:39,840 those every couple weeks is out there 2036 01:21:44,750 --> 01:21:41,910 and now you let these transport 2037 01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:44,760 airplanes drop huge amounts of of 2038 01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:47,370 weaponry and now it's being targeted 2039 01:21:52,970 --> 01:21:49,770 where it needs to go mm-hmm so robbers 2040 01:21:55,010 --> 01:21:52,980 what you're saying is is that well you 2041 01:21:57,890 --> 01:21:55,020 know there was no urgent need at the 2042 01:22:00,680 --> 01:21:57,900 time but we are in this position where 2043 01:22:02,420 --> 01:22:00,690 we the cycle has come around again we 2044 01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:02,430 have to stop making new airplanes again 2045 01:22:07,360 --> 01:22:04,530 this is considered fourth generation I 2046 01:22:11,990 --> 01:22:07,370 see actually fifth okay yeah so you know 2047 01:22:13,490 --> 01:22:12,000 f-22 f-35 so is that what you're saying 2048 01:22:16,310 --> 01:22:13,500 is that well there's no real urgent need 2049 01:22:18,250 --> 01:22:16,320 so let's just you know everyone has this 2050 01:22:21,050 --> 01:22:18,260 say of what it carries what it does 2051 01:22:22,610 --> 01:22:21,060 cause keep going up they have a lot of 2052 01:22:24,170 --> 01:22:22,620 problems you know with testing one one 2053 01:22:26,660 --> 01:22:24,180 just show me something the attendant it 2054 01:22:29,510 --> 01:22:26,670 said that someone claimed that today if 2055 01:22:32,540 --> 01:22:29,520 they ordered every f-35 to take off 2056 01:22:34,550 --> 01:22:32,550 right now five out of six of them would 2057 01:22:36,620 --> 01:22:34,560 not be able to take off and that's such 2058 01:22:37,790 --> 01:22:36,630 a spurious figure when it's or something 2059 01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:37,800 like that out there because you could to 2060 01:22:43,790 --> 01:22:39,930 that to almost any aircraft that's out 2061 01:22:45,710 --> 01:22:43,800 in the world right now right so I mean 2062 01:22:47,450 --> 01:22:45,720 now so let's go back to this military 2063 01:22:50,810 --> 01:22:47,460 complex thing that people are always 2064 01:22:53,690 --> 01:22:50,820 talking about was the real momentum 2065 01:22:55,820 --> 01:22:53,700 behind this just to sell 2500 of them 2066 01:22:57,920 --> 01:22:55,830 around the world and make billions of 2067 01:22:58,820 --> 01:22:57,930 dollars for was it who was it Boeing 2068 01:23:01,550 --> 01:22:58,830 Lockheed 2069 01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:01,560 clucky not I don't I don't think so 2070 01:23:06,560 --> 01:23:05,370 originally no but I it's it's it's 2071 01:23:10,130 --> 01:23:06,570 definitely an element but now would you 2072 01:23:12,080 --> 01:23:10,140 say room yes that's certainly true so it 2073 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:12,090 is a politically unkillable project as 2074 01:23:15,710 --> 01:23:14,130 well so the debate is somewhat moot on 2075 01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:15,720 my end I could argue against it but 2076 01:23:18,110 --> 01:23:17,130 we're still gonna produce quite a lot of 2077 01:23:20,030 --> 01:23:18,120 them I don't think we're gonna produce 2078 01:23:22,460 --> 01:23:20,040 2,500 I think we're gonna cut back I'm 2079 01:23:26,330 --> 01:23:22,470 not I don't know if all of our allies of 2080 01:23:29,390 --> 01:23:26,340 Canada has been reconsidering but you 2081 01:23:31,250 --> 01:23:29,400 know it's it's there are I believe 46 2082 01:23:34,010 --> 01:23:31,260 states that are receiving you know 2083 01:23:35,960 --> 01:23:34,020 directly direct financial benefits from 2084 01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:35,970 you know being involved in the f-35 2085 01:23:42,110 --> 01:23:38,490 program whether parts or services 2086 01:23:43,910 --> 01:23:42,120 the only Alaska Hawaii Nebraska Wyoming 2087 01:23:45,860 --> 01:23:43,920 I think do not have any direct 2088 01:23:47,870 --> 01:23:45,870 connection so but you know also you 2089 01:23:51,410 --> 01:23:47,880 imagine in a major war world war to 2090 01:23:54,890 --> 01:23:51,420 which the United States was in for you 2091 01:23:57,470 --> 01:23:54,900 know four years less than that the you 2092 01:24:00,500 --> 01:23:57,480 know we produced a lot of aircraft very 2093 01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:00,510 quickly and we didn't do it with part 2094 01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:01,290 source from 2095 01:24:05,930 --> 01:24:03,570 six out of 50 states right this is a 2096 01:24:07,910 --> 01:24:05,940 this is a product of peace time the 2097 01:24:09,650 --> 01:24:07,920 effort e5 as I'm saying and so and it's 2098 01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:09,660 legacies the Cold War and the Cold War 2099 01:24:13,340 --> 01:24:11,370 went away from it so this is the last 2100 01:24:15,410 --> 01:24:13,350 propellant out of that out of that 2101 01:24:18,050 --> 01:24:15,420 thinking they drove us into stealth and 2102 01:24:20,510 --> 01:24:18,060 the advanced technology is going to save 2103 01:24:23,060 --> 01:24:20,520 us right but it's also as he would I 2104 01:24:26,090 --> 01:24:23,070 think if I am a senior right it's also a 2105 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:26,100 sticky political prob problem I mean 2106 01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:27,930 your industry you know that you don't go 2107 01:24:31,130 --> 01:24:29,730 to two states to build anything you 2108 01:24:33,020 --> 01:24:31,140 figure out how to spread it through as 2109 01:24:34,790 --> 01:24:33,030 much of 50 states as you possibly can 2110 01:24:36,950 --> 01:24:34,800 right I mean that's just business right 2111 01:24:39,230 --> 01:24:36,960 it is it is business but the thing is is 2112 01:24:40,970 --> 01:24:39,240 that to to say okay we're only gonna 2113 01:24:43,430 --> 01:24:40,980 make like 500 of these things now you 2114 01:24:45,290 --> 01:24:43,440 affect so many people down the line so 2115 01:24:48,590 --> 01:24:45,300 many of our citizens job-wise 2116 01:24:49,580 --> 01:24:48,600 that as he says it would be impossible 2117 01:24:51,440 --> 01:24:49,590 to kill this thing 2118 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:51,450 certainly not completely that I can see 2119 01:24:55,940 --> 01:24:53,850 them maybe you know coming back from 2120 01:24:58,280 --> 01:24:55,950 2,500 but here's the question is okay so 2121 01:24:59,540 --> 01:24:58,290 let's say they say okay we're only gonna 2122 01:25:02,270 --> 01:24:59,550 make a thousand of these like they were 2123 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:02,280 gonna do five hundred and fifty f-22s 2124 01:25:05,740 --> 01:25:03,410 and they want to say I think they're 2125 01:25:08,030 --> 01:25:05,750 think the original number is even higher 2126 01:25:09,950 --> 01:25:08,040 so let's say that they bring this number 2127 01:25:12,260 --> 01:25:09,960 down okay well what was the follow-on 2128 01:25:16,220 --> 01:25:12,270 now you it's not designing it now won't 2129 01:25:19,490 --> 01:25:16,230 be out for 18 years well they I think 18 2130 01:25:21,050 --> 01:25:19,500 years is a is that's I think one of the 2131 01:25:23,450 --> 01:25:21,060 big problems that we have with our 2132 01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:23,460 developer procurement of our military 2133 01:25:26,750 --> 01:25:25,170 systems aircraft being at the at the 2134 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:26,760 point the end of this I think what it's 2135 01:25:31,100 --> 01:25:28,290 going to drive is the same thing we saw 2136 01:25:33,110 --> 01:25:31,110 in the last 15 years we had completely 2137 01:25:34,730 --> 01:25:33,120 left the the whole forward air control 2138 01:25:37,460 --> 01:25:34,740 mission which has now morphed into what 2139 01:25:39,590 --> 01:25:37,470 we call is our rst a reconnaissance 2140 01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:39,600 surveillance tracking and targeting at 2141 01:25:45,350 --> 01:25:41,970 target acquisition and now what do you 2142 01:25:49,490 --> 01:25:45,360 have you have the rise of the unmanned 2143 01:25:50,060 --> 01:25:49,500 aircraft that capability has risen to 2144 01:25:53,180 --> 01:25:50,070 prominence 2145 01:25:55,010 --> 01:25:53,190 you now have specialized aircraft that 2146 01:25:56,570 --> 01:25:55,020 have been cobbled together that don't 2147 01:25:58,310 --> 01:25:56,580 look too impressive but what's on the 2148 01:26:00,470 --> 01:25:58,320 inside of them I flew one of them do the 2149 01:26:03,710 --> 01:26:00,480 job I do the job that go way on that and 2150 01:26:06,170 --> 01:26:03,720 now the f-35 is trying to embody a great 2151 01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:06,180 deal of all these current mission areas 2152 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:07,890 that are on there and I think that 2153 01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:09,330 that's what the solution is the solution 2154 01:26:14,210 --> 01:26:11,370 is whatever number shows up is going to 2155 01:26:15,139 --> 01:26:14,220 be other aircraft or other tactics that 2156 01:26:17,330 --> 01:26:15,149 are going to develop 2157 01:26:19,189 --> 01:26:17,340 around it that allow you to do what you 2158 01:26:21,080 --> 01:26:19,199 want to do to punch through is this is 2159 01:26:24,319 --> 01:26:21,090 the f-35 gonna be the last manned 2160 01:26:27,529 --> 01:26:24,329 aircraft negative you don't think so 2161 01:26:29,209 --> 01:26:27,539 absolutely no absolutely not the last 2162 01:26:32,839 --> 01:26:29,219 man fighter aircraft well I completely 2163 01:26:35,389 --> 01:26:32,849 disagree I I think it's incredibly the 2164 01:26:37,729 --> 01:26:35,399 this is such a course I'm biased because 2165 01:26:39,919 --> 01:26:37,739 as a pilot as an aviator I can't see how 2166 01:26:41,869 --> 01:26:39,929 I can't be still in the fight but that's 2167 01:26:44,299 --> 01:26:41,879 that could you have to qualify my 2168 01:26:46,129 --> 01:26:44,309 reaction but every time we go down this 2169 01:26:47,949 --> 01:26:46,139 line it's somehow it's gonna say we act 2170 01:26:51,139 --> 01:26:47,959 like we don't have the human in the loop 2171 01:26:53,239 --> 01:26:51,149 the human is in the loop and all our UAS 2172 01:26:54,529 --> 01:26:53,249 the problem I have with a lot of the us 2173 01:26:56,810 --> 01:26:54,539 this thing that's saving us from 2174 01:26:58,429 --> 01:26:56,820 ourselves supposedly is you have 42 2175 01:27:01,040 --> 01:26:58,439 people out of sight that are forward 2176 01:27:02,689 --> 01:27:01,050 deployed to let this go to get this 2177 01:27:04,489 --> 01:27:02,699 thing launched and recovered and to keep 2178 01:27:06,109 --> 01:27:04,499 the 24 Manning and then you're using a 2179 01:27:07,790 --> 01:27:06,119 satellite network that L says to 2180 01:27:09,529 --> 01:27:07,800 somebody like I don't know the Chinese 2181 01:27:12,709 --> 01:27:09,539 with their friends the North Koreans hey 2182 01:27:15,139 --> 01:27:12,719 maybe if we put to EMP pulses and we 2183 01:27:16,969 --> 01:27:15,149 knock down part just part of the 2184 01:27:18,770 --> 01:27:16,979 satellite network these guys won't be 2185 01:27:20,509 --> 01:27:18,780 able to put all their eggs there won't 2186 01:27:22,310 --> 01:27:20,519 be to drop the eggs from the proverbial 2187 01:27:24,169 --> 01:27:22,320 basket because they've signed themselves 2188 01:27:25,790 --> 01:27:24,179 up for this but okay but but on the 2189 01:27:28,549 --> 01:27:25,800 other side of that is the reason that 2190 01:27:32,179 --> 01:27:28,559 the UAVs drones that they use a lot of 2191 01:27:35,540 --> 01:27:32,189 drones especially over Afghanistan 2192 01:27:36,830 --> 01:27:35,550 Pakistan Iraq is that it completely 2193 01:27:39,319 --> 01:27:36,840 takes out of the equation that you're 2194 01:27:41,149 --> 01:27:39,329 gonna have a pilot caption well I think 2195 01:27:43,069 --> 01:27:41,159 that that's part of it I think I think 2196 01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:43,079 the real part of it if anybody really 2197 01:27:47,149 --> 01:27:45,449 believes I don't go too deep into it but 2198 01:27:48,709 --> 01:27:47,159 I don't think anybody really cares that 2199 01:27:51,169 --> 01:27:48,719 much except the only people that are in 2200 01:27:53,029 --> 01:27:51,179 uniform about that I think it's easier 2201 01:27:54,439 --> 01:27:53,039 for an administration to go and do 2202 01:27:57,020 --> 01:27:54,449 things that it wants to do and not have 2203 01:27:58,759 --> 01:27:57,030 that human element at the pointing and I 2204 01:28:00,379 --> 01:27:58,769 think that allowing to go with it but we 2205 01:28:02,750 --> 01:28:00,389 have fooled ourselves when it comes to 2206 01:28:04,850 --> 01:28:02,760 the UAS that somehow we're not actually 2207 01:28:06,919 --> 01:28:04,860 assassinating people or we're not doing 2208 01:28:09,469 --> 01:28:06,929 the kind of stuff that that'sthat's gone 2209 01:28:11,839 --> 01:28:09,479 on I say good well the good part with 2210 01:28:13,489 --> 01:28:11,849 standing or not when you we've we've 2211 01:28:15,290 --> 01:28:13,499 pulled out of that particular element of 2212 01:28:17,419 --> 01:28:15,300 it but the thing is you're flying around 2213 01:28:19,790 --> 01:28:17,429 aircraft that we have not had competed 2214 01:28:22,069 --> 01:28:19,800 all it's going to take is someone with a 2215 01:28:23,569 --> 01:28:22,079 lightly armed turboprop to fly behind 2216 01:28:25,849 --> 01:28:23,579 these things that are at cruising around 2217 01:28:27,709 --> 01:28:25,859 on 120 and start bagging them left and 2218 01:28:28,910 --> 01:28:27,719 right and all of a sudden now you can't 2219 01:28:30,590 --> 01:28:28,920 do what you used to 2220 01:28:32,030 --> 01:28:30,600 yeah but then at that point and it goes 2221 01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:32,040 back to rouse point that you know our 2222 01:28:35,930 --> 01:28:34,050 military is the biggest of strong is the 2223 01:28:37,940 --> 01:28:35,940 most high-tech and at some point if 2224 01:28:39,350 --> 01:28:37,950 someone started you know flying out 2225 01:28:41,510 --> 01:28:39,360 literally playing behind one of these 2226 01:28:42,830 --> 01:28:41,520 drones and shooting it down we would 2227 01:28:45,350 --> 01:28:42,840 just come up with something that could 2228 01:28:46,730 --> 01:28:45,360 shoot down that plane right so so let's 2229 01:28:48,260 --> 01:28:46,740 talk about that for one second because 2230 01:28:50,870 --> 01:28:48,270 it goes right back to where we are at 2231 01:28:52,100 --> 01:28:50,880 the f-35 if you go down this pike you're 2232 01:28:53,930 --> 01:28:52,110 telling me now you're gonna take a 2233 01:28:55,970 --> 01:28:53,940 trillion-dollar fighter to go chase down 2234 01:28:57,680 --> 01:28:55,980 somebody in a third world or second 2235 01:28:59,480 --> 01:28:57,690 world country with a propeller or 2236 01:29:01,790 --> 01:28:59,490 turboprop airplane that's popping out 2237 01:29:03,980 --> 01:29:01,800 your UAS is and bring them down to do 2238 01:29:05,630 --> 01:29:03,990 this it's going to be difficult to do 2239 01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:05,640 this is where Rob's argument about it 2240 01:29:10,010 --> 01:29:07,530 being a dog fighter it's going to be a 2241 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:10,020 sad day when somebody now because they 2242 01:29:12,860 --> 01:29:11,730 don't do low-level flying anymore we 2243 01:29:15,650 --> 01:29:12,870 don't do the air combat maneuvering 2244 01:29:19,040 --> 01:29:15,660 anymore it's taken down or crashes into 2245 01:29:20,690 --> 01:29:19,050 the ground themselves we don't okay 2246 01:29:22,340 --> 01:29:20,700 don't need it also as well I mean you 2247 01:29:24,770 --> 01:29:22,350 said well we let's say we cut the pie to 2248 01:29:26,660 --> 01:29:24,780 a thousand no well the f-15 is still 2249 01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:26,670 around yes sure and you know there's you 2250 01:29:32,090 --> 01:29:28,650 know these production line in the f-15 2251 01:29:34,070 --> 01:29:32,100 ends next year Wow and running out 2252 01:29:38,210 --> 01:29:34,080 well the 18 is still around me you know 2253 01:29:40,220 --> 01:29:38,220 there's a lot of and the Cobras a tough 2254 01:29:41,330 --> 01:29:40,230 debate opponent because I'm a geek who 2255 01:29:44,570 --> 01:29:41,340 writes about this on the internet he's 2256 01:29:45,890 --> 01:29:44,580 an aviator so I you know that's but you 2257 01:29:50,270 --> 01:29:45,900 know I'm more of a geek than you are 2258 01:29:51,620 --> 01:29:50,280 rough because I'm in the I'm in the room 2259 01:29:55,580 --> 01:29:51,630 with them that's right you have 2260 01:29:56,900 --> 01:29:55,590 experience with with you know low cost 2261 01:29:58,940 --> 01:29:56,910 you know see if you want to do close air 2262 01:30:00,560 --> 01:29:58,950 support there's a lot of you know pretty 2263 01:30:03,260 --> 01:30:00,570 you know you know interesting great 2264 01:30:04,910 --> 01:30:03,270 sheep close air support aircraft we you 2265 01:30:06,050 --> 01:30:04,920 know that we can use and you know 2266 01:30:08,690 --> 01:30:06,060 there's other fighters out there that 2267 01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:08,700 you know the Gripen Swedes produce a 2268 01:30:12,170 --> 01:30:10,170 very nice yeah the latest model is 2269 01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:12,180 incredible air up them yeah I just heard 2270 01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:14,010 today that Botswana wants to buy a bunch 2271 01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:16,050 of them well who is if I can just break 2272 01:30:19,670 --> 01:30:18,210 in here for saying who's the opponent 2273 01:30:21,110 --> 01:30:19,680 for the f-35 everyone's talking about 2274 01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:21,120 how its kind of losing a dog fighter 2275 01:30:24,980 --> 01:30:23,250 who's kind of fighting against and what 2276 01:30:29,210 --> 01:30:24,990 what airplane I mean it we talk about 2277 01:30:29,510 --> 01:30:29,220 Russia China so su-24 or something like 2278 01:30:31,190 --> 01:30:29,520 that 2279 01:30:34,610 --> 01:30:31,200 yeah there's a pretty maneuverable 2280 01:30:36,950 --> 01:30:34,620 Russian fighters but I mean that's 2281 01:30:38,210 --> 01:30:36,960 that's the biggest enemy I suppose maybe 2282 01:30:40,490 --> 01:30:38,220 there's no stealth fighters really that 2283 01:30:42,370 --> 01:30:40,500 what's going to go up against so so 2284 01:30:45,490 --> 01:30:42,380 doesn't it in a way it just isn't 2285 01:30:47,080 --> 01:30:45,500 like your typical fighter but it's isn't 2286 01:30:48,370 --> 01:30:47,090 it just appearing on the battlefield at 2287 01:30:49,899 --> 01:30:48,380 just the right time where it you know 2288 01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:49,909 you don't have to give it and we'll go 2289 01:30:53,020 --> 01:30:51,530 back to the old Eichmann you don't have 2290 01:30:54,459 --> 01:30:53,030 to get me in a dogfight because now we 2291 01:30:56,229 --> 01:30:54,469 have the technology to knock something 2292 01:30:59,200 --> 01:30:56,239 off before you even get close in for a 2293 01:31:00,910 --> 01:30:59,210 dogfight I mean doesn't isn't I'm gonna 2294 01:31:02,229 --> 01:31:00,920 give you guys what I think when you ask 2295 01:31:03,850 --> 01:31:02,239 me to get ready for this 2296 01:31:06,160 --> 01:31:03,860 this is the best metaphor I can give you 2297 01:31:08,770 --> 01:31:06,170 a raw image to your reaction during 2298 01:31:10,450 --> 01:31:08,780 Vietnam we pulled away from our heavy 2299 01:31:13,479 --> 01:31:10,460 rifle and we went with this thing called 2300 01:31:15,490 --> 01:31:13,489 the m16 and it had almost the equal kind 2301 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:15,500 of visceral uproar that we have with the 2302 01:31:20,500 --> 01:31:18,050 f-35 it's a piece of crap it doesn't 2303 01:31:22,030 --> 01:31:20,510 shoot it jams on and on and on then you 2304 01:31:23,439 --> 01:31:22,040 had people stand there and saying you 2305 01:31:25,780 --> 01:31:23,449 can't use it when you run out of 2306 01:31:27,879 --> 01:31:25,790 ammunition like you can an m1 we are an 2307 01:31:30,580 --> 01:31:27,889 F whatever and you could run up and you 2308 01:31:32,919 --> 01:31:30,590 could use it as a club it's not big 2309 01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:32,929 enough to put a good bayonet on because 2310 01:31:35,470 --> 01:31:34,130 everybody's saying look this is what we 2311 01:31:36,939 --> 01:31:35,480 did in Korea this will have done the 2312 01:31:38,770 --> 01:31:36,949 beginning part of Vietnam this is what 2313 01:31:41,140 --> 01:31:38,780 we did in World War two so we go through 2314 01:31:42,550 --> 01:31:41,150 this and what happens now you have an m4 2315 01:31:45,520 --> 01:31:42,560 version that's come out it's probably 2316 01:31:47,800 --> 01:31:45,530 the most prolific weapon system for the 2317 01:31:49,570 --> 01:31:47,810 infant's reef or in it it's it's it's 2318 01:31:51,459 --> 01:31:49,580 gone through and it still isn't 2319 01:31:54,970 --> 01:31:51,469 sufficient firepower for everybody that 2320 01:31:56,919 --> 01:31:54,980 wants to go out so we still have m-14s 2321 01:31:59,290 --> 01:31:56,929 and other types of weapon systems that 2322 01:32:02,439 --> 01:31:59,300 come out but the most prolific weapon is 2323 01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:02,449 based on the m16 variant of this time 2324 01:32:07,510 --> 01:32:04,730 this is and it was a huge leap because 2325 01:32:08,770 --> 01:32:07,520 we went to the clip and the way we did 2326 01:32:10,750 --> 01:32:08,780 it but one of the arguments that was 2327 01:32:13,209 --> 01:32:10,760 brought out is you can't give that much 2328 01:32:14,979 --> 01:32:13,219 firepower to the infantry because they 2329 01:32:17,050 --> 01:32:14,989 can't be trained not to shoot all their 2330 01:32:18,669 --> 01:32:17,060 rounds off and go do that and you had 2331 01:32:21,610 --> 01:32:18,679 other proponents on much small group 2332 01:32:22,720 --> 01:32:21,620 that said the ability to put so much 2333 01:32:24,430 --> 01:32:22,730 more firepower 2334 01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:24,440 although albeit a little bit less 2335 01:32:28,990 --> 01:32:27,170 accurate it's a huge game-changer that's 2336 01:32:31,209 --> 01:32:29,000 the same thing that's happening here I 2337 01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:31,219 think with the f-35 as an extrapolated 2338 01:32:36,340 --> 01:32:33,650 metaphor to where we are oh well okay so 2339 01:32:38,919 --> 01:32:36,350 I'll concede your point for the United 2340 01:32:42,459 --> 01:32:38,929 States that is true but that is not the 2341 01:32:44,470 --> 01:32:42,469 case for many of the countries which are 2342 01:32:48,580 --> 01:32:44,480 buying f-35 so the Netherlands for 2343 01:32:52,030 --> 01:32:48,590 example they plan to replace all of 2344 01:32:54,970 --> 01:32:52,040 their fighter aircraft with f-35s that's 2345 01:32:56,140 --> 01:32:54,980 right that's all they'll have and so 2346 01:32:57,669 --> 01:32:56,150 you're not going to have 2347 01:33:00,160 --> 01:32:57,679 it's a bit of an apples to oranges 2348 01:33:01,870 --> 01:33:00,170 comparison but they're all in the bowl 2349 01:33:04,870 --> 01:33:01,880 good good good you're going yeah are you 2350 01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:04,880 going not only that but they're gonna be 2351 01:33:08,740 --> 01:33:07,130 you know replacing their 16s there are 2352 01:33:10,870 --> 01:33:08,750 16s with these f-35s 2353 01:33:12,220 --> 01:33:10,880 but yes SEP 35 they're very very 2354 01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:12,230 complicated aircraft they're pretty 2355 01:33:19,180 --> 01:33:15,290 expensive and they're incredibly time 2356 01:33:20,709 --> 01:33:19,190 consuming to maintain so I've shown you 2357 01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:20,719 that the Dutch Air Force 2358 01:33:24,669 --> 01:33:22,850 you seen the Dutch Jeff Lewis is cheap 2359 01:33:26,770 --> 01:33:24,679 and lazy is that what you just said 2360 01:33:29,649 --> 01:33:26,780 I'm I guarantee you that the Dutch Air 2361 01:33:31,890 --> 01:33:29,659 Force is going to have to find ways to 2362 01:33:34,090 --> 01:33:31,900 cut costs to pay for these things over 2363 01:33:35,410 --> 01:33:34,100 you know decades they're gonna have them 2364 01:33:37,209 --> 01:33:35,420 and they're you know they're gonna Rob 2365 01:33:39,160 --> 01:33:37,219 you know I was there trading I was there 2366 01:33:40,959 --> 01:33:39,170 when the Dutch started to get the f-16 I 2367 01:33:43,540 --> 01:33:40,969 heard exactly the same argument in the 2368 01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:43,550 eighties that you know for the the 2369 01:33:48,220 --> 01:33:46,130 smaller NATO nations this was a huge 2370 01:33:50,320 --> 01:33:48,230 change for them and what was going to 2371 01:33:52,270 --> 01:33:50,330 happen and I can I can tell you from my 2372 01:33:54,220 --> 01:33:52,280 own personal experience of being in 2373 01:33:57,040 --> 01:33:54,230 different weapons schools with Dutch 2374 01:34:01,090 --> 01:33:57,050 chance and and and Brits and their whole 2375 01:34:03,820 --> 01:34:01,100 rest of them it has a way that it works 2376 01:34:06,490 --> 01:34:03,830 itself out now I think that there's a 2377 01:34:10,930 --> 01:34:06,500 there's a definite possibility that when 2378 01:34:12,820 --> 01:34:10,940 you get into areas like the the cost the 2379 01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:12,830 difference is is that these packages 2380 01:34:16,899 --> 01:34:15,170 have to come in with the the flight and 2381 01:34:18,820 --> 01:34:16,909 weapon simulators that go with it 2382 01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:18,830 we're gonna spend a lot of our time not 2383 01:34:23,979 --> 01:34:21,010 actually flying the aircraft but flying 2384 01:34:25,780 --> 01:34:23,989 the the simulator and you think that do 2385 01:34:28,390 --> 01:34:25,790 you wait so do you think that it makes 2386 01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:28,400 up for pilot training I mean no no I 2387 01:34:32,620 --> 01:34:31,010 don't rub I'll tell you what my biggest 2388 01:34:34,930 --> 01:34:32,630 concern and I think what the f-35 is 2389 01:34:37,540 --> 01:34:34,940 going to force us to go back to we keep 2390 01:34:38,950 --> 01:34:37,550 cutting back on hours on actual flight 2391 01:34:40,570 --> 01:34:38,960 hours and everyone's well that's how we 2392 01:34:42,189 --> 01:34:40,580 cut the cost well we're problem when you 2393 01:34:43,630 --> 01:34:42,199 cut the cost is the maintainer --zz 2394 01:34:46,180 --> 01:34:43,640 aren't maintaining as much as they used 2395 01:34:47,950 --> 01:34:46,190 to so they can't do it in a surge the 2396 01:34:49,930 --> 01:34:47,960 guys who and gals who lift the bombs 2397 01:34:51,100 --> 01:34:49,940 onto the airplane don't do it as often 2398 01:34:53,470 --> 01:34:51,110 as they used to because it's too 2399 01:34:54,970 --> 01:34:53,480 expensive the drop bombs and you keep 2400 01:34:57,760 --> 01:34:54,980 going further and further down this 2401 01:34:59,200 --> 01:34:57,770 spiral of this and that one or two 2402 01:35:01,689 --> 01:34:59,210 things happens you're gonna get your ass 2403 01:35:03,490 --> 01:35:01,699 handed to you or you're going to find a 2404 01:35:05,229 --> 01:35:03,500 cheaper alternative where you're gonna 2405 01:35:06,669 --> 01:35:05,239 have people spend maybe a couple 2406 01:35:09,700 --> 01:35:06,679 thousand hours and a less costly 2407 01:35:12,090 --> 01:35:09,710 airplane and then move into the f-35 2408 01:35:17,590 --> 01:35:12,100 probably me just ask you this okay if 2409 01:35:20,500 --> 01:35:17,600 this you know f-35 is such a you know s 2410 01:35:23,140 --> 01:35:20,510 box okay if it's like as bad as everyone 2411 01:35:25,060 --> 01:35:23,150 is saying how can all these countries 2412 01:35:26,890 --> 01:35:25,070 around the world be fooled you know I 2413 01:35:28,630 --> 01:35:26,900 mean I can imagine that you know the 2414 01:35:31,120 --> 01:35:28,640 defense minister from the Netherlands or 2415 01:35:32,830 --> 01:35:31,130 whatever you know he's you know shown a 2416 01:35:35,979 --> 01:35:32,840 good time by the Air Force or by 2417 01:35:37,390 --> 01:35:35,989 Lockheed and but you know I mean he's 2418 01:35:38,770 --> 01:35:37,400 gonna have to report to someone to say 2419 01:35:40,090 --> 01:35:38,780 this thing you know does this pretty 2420 01:35:41,620 --> 01:35:40,100 good does this pretty good does this 2421 01:35:43,390 --> 01:35:41,630 pretty good I mean it's gonna be 2422 01:35:45,010 --> 01:35:43,400 something good about it that are all 2423 01:35:47,170 --> 01:35:45,020 these people I mean are we saying all 2424 01:35:49,720 --> 01:35:47,180 these people who procure these the 2425 01:35:51,670 --> 01:35:49,730 Israelis the the Dutch the Norwegians I 2426 01:35:54,760 --> 01:35:51,680 know how could they all be stupid one 2427 01:35:57,310 --> 01:35:54,770 them well yeah I mean each country is 2428 01:35:59,140 --> 01:35:57,320 different and I mean the United States 2429 01:36:01,030 --> 01:35:59,150 made it an American plane I think that 2430 01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:01,040 alone has a lot of there's a lot of 2431 01:36:09,160 --> 01:36:03,770 political momentum absolutely 2432 01:36:10,900 --> 01:36:09,170 the and also I mean you know the there's 2433 01:36:13,450 --> 01:36:10,910 not a lot of other options because you 2434 01:36:16,390 --> 01:36:13,460 know the you can buy what the French 2435 01:36:17,740 --> 01:36:16,400 Rafal the the typhoon the your fighter 2436 01:36:20,080 --> 01:36:17,750 plane there's nothing there's nothing 2437 01:36:21,640 --> 01:36:20,090 that's coming anywhere close third or 2438 01:36:23,860 --> 01:36:21,650 fourth generation right and I mean and 2439 01:36:28,060 --> 01:36:23,870 and some individual countries have their 2440 01:36:30,330 --> 01:36:28,070 own you know they're upgrading the f-35 2441 01:36:32,290 --> 01:36:30,340 oh so Israel has a pretty interesting 2442 01:36:35,170 --> 01:36:32,300 version that they're going to get there 2443 01:36:37,330 --> 01:36:35,180 they have their own domestically 2444 01:36:40,330 --> 01:36:37,340 produced upgrades they're gonna add to 2445 01:36:42,670 --> 01:36:40,340 it so it's it's you know but I I think a 2446 01:36:43,840 --> 01:36:42,680 lot of its political though right I get 2447 01:36:47,170 --> 01:36:43,850 a feeling that we should probably copy 2448 01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:47,180 the Israeli model you guys if you're 2449 01:36:51,370 --> 01:36:49,610 fighting in close there's there's has a 2450 01:36:53,470 --> 01:36:51,380 particular part and that's one of the 2451 01:36:55,540 --> 01:36:53,480 reasons that I think that it's going to 2452 01:36:56,979 --> 01:36:55,550 have some capability air-to-air because 2453 01:36:58,360 --> 01:36:56,989 the Israelis are not going to get into a 2454 01:37:01,270 --> 01:36:58,370 situation where they can't defend 2455 01:37:03,220 --> 01:37:01,280 themselves or exploit that Rob one last 2456 01:37:04,990 --> 01:37:03,230 question is the f-35 is it you know 2457 01:37:07,180 --> 01:37:05,000 modular if you know what I mean is it is 2458 01:37:08,410 --> 01:37:07,190 it it's a design that you know five 2459 01:37:09,910 --> 01:37:08,420 years from now there might be some 2460 01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:09,920 weapons system we don't even know about 2461 01:37:15,490 --> 01:37:11,210 it'll be oh that's you know kind of 2462 01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:15,500 attach it i it's it's difficult but it's 2463 01:37:19,030 --> 01:37:17,690 possible but yeah there's a lot of 2464 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:19,040 weight rob was robbed wouldn't you agree 2465 01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:21,290 that it can't be anything external I 2466 01:37:23,530 --> 01:37:22,730 mean obviously though they'll carry 2467 01:37:24,910 --> 01:37:23,540 externals on 2468 01:37:26,940 --> 01:37:24,920 at some point and completely ruin its 2469 01:37:30,370 --> 01:37:26,950 capability we did that with the f-16 2470 01:37:32,950 --> 01:37:30,380 there's no doubt about that but do you 2471 01:37:34,480 --> 01:37:32,960 think yeah what happens though Mac is 2472 01:37:35,950 --> 01:37:34,490 when you build an aircraft like this we 2473 01:37:38,620 --> 01:37:35,960 goes forward didn't you say okay here's 2474 01:37:40,720 --> 01:37:38,630 what we have for the the armament 2475 01:37:42,370 --> 01:37:40,730 compartment whatever you want has to fit 2476 01:37:43,690 --> 01:37:42,380 inside there right so I never to believe 2477 01:37:45,460 --> 01:37:43,700 the electronics of the signal 2478 01:37:46,780 --> 01:37:45,470 intelligence variant that comes out it's 2479 01:37:48,220 --> 01:37:46,790 going to fit inside there and then we'll 2480 01:37:50,050 --> 01:37:48,230 start doing things like sticking 2481 01:37:52,930 --> 01:37:50,060 antennas on it and say okay we're gonna 2482 01:37:55,060 --> 01:37:52,940 cut away some of its stealth and go but 2483 01:37:57,220 --> 01:37:55,070 I heart though I think that b-52 for 2484 01:37:58,720 --> 01:37:57,230 instance you know I mean started off the 2485 01:38:00,610 --> 01:37:58,730 whole idea was to drop these big nuclear 2486 01:38:02,230 --> 01:38:00,620 bombs and now they're things that you 2487 01:38:03,970 --> 01:38:02,240 know kind of rotary launches you know 2488 01:38:05,380 --> 01:38:03,980 they can lunch a whole variation of 2489 01:38:07,090 --> 01:38:05,390 weapons and stuff like that they've 2490 01:38:09,310 --> 01:38:07,100 really adapted these things how do we 2491 01:38:11,710 --> 01:38:09,320 know the f-35 is gonna be very adaptable 2492 01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:11,720 one five or six years you're gonna wind 2493 01:38:14,470 --> 01:38:13,250 up with some externals I mean to the end 2494 01:38:16,030 --> 01:38:14,480 of the Israelis are working on some of 2495 01:38:16,480 --> 01:38:16,040 that and I mean if you what I had a 2496 01:38:18,070 --> 01:38:16,490 drange 2497 01:38:20,440 --> 01:38:18,080 range to this thing you're gonna need to 2498 01:38:21,940 --> 01:38:20,450 add drop ranks and right well let me 2499 01:38:23,410 --> 01:38:21,950 look it's tightly it's a very tightly 2500 01:38:25,300 --> 01:38:23,420 packed aircraft they tried to cut back 2501 01:38:27,940 --> 01:38:25,310 so it's almost a closed system in a way 2502 01:38:30,100 --> 01:38:27,950 hey yeah so the bottom line of this is 2503 01:38:31,630 --> 01:38:30,110 that you know we could argue here for 2504 01:38:33,910 --> 01:38:31,640 hours and days but we're stuck with 2505 01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:33,920 these things right pretty much well 2506 01:38:38,290 --> 01:38:36,050 stuck on your part may be an opportunity 2507 01:38:39,940 --> 01:38:38,300 a little bit for my part mm-hmm okay 2508 01:38:42,580 --> 01:38:39,950 that

01:40:48,199 radio network but I've had a lot of 2563 01:40:53,979 --> 01:40:50,750 contact with Vietnam era vets and going 2564 01:40:56,319 --> 01:40:53,989 this is the week leading into the 2565 01:40:57,459 --> 01:40:56,329 weekend of Memorial Day and I get a 2566 01:40:58,810 --> 01:40:57,469 little bit choked up when I talk about 2567 01:41:01,030 --> 01:40:58,820 this because Memorial Day has become 2568 01:41:04,689 --> 01:41:01,040 probably one of the toughest holidays 2569 01:41:07,930 --> 01:41:04,699 for me to get through because as time 2570 01:41:09,459 --> 01:41:07,940 has gone by when it was parades and as a 2571 01:41:12,549 --> 01:41:09,469 kid and barbecues 2572 01:41:15,430 --> 01:41:12,559 I spent one of the the most critical 2573 01:41:18,069 --> 01:41:15,440 Memorial days I spent in Iraq and I had 2574 01:41:19,780 --> 01:41:18,079 landed the plane at the souther airfield 2575 01:41:22,629 --> 01:41:19,790 which was part of victory base at 2576 01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:22,639 Baghdad and why I'm running around and 2577 01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:24,170 the guy that I'm supposed to pick up and 2578 01:41:28,859 --> 01:41:25,730 do this mission with is late and it's 2579 01:41:31,689 --> 01:41:28,869 hot and it's it's a nest of nasty day to 2580 01:41:32,530 --> 01:41:31,699 medevac Black Hawks come in and they 2581 01:41:34,900 --> 01:41:32,540 land 2582 01:41:36,580 --> 01:41:34,910 and they are taking a heck of a long 2583 01:41:38,200 --> 01:41:36,590 time there on the ramp my little 2584 01:41:40,510 --> 01:41:38,210 airplanes getting bounced around on the 2585 01:41:42,940 --> 01:41:40,520 ramp and I'm getting a little bit 2586 01:41:44,440 --> 01:41:42,950 perturbed with them because of how long 2587 01:41:46,060 --> 01:41:44,450 they're running their aircraft and it 2588 01:41:47,500 --> 01:41:46,070 just seems like you know come on guys do 2589 01:41:50,020 --> 01:41:47,510 what you have to do and let's go type 2590 01:41:52,990 --> 01:41:50,030 thing and then as I come out of one of 2591 01:41:58,630 --> 01:41:53,000 the porta-johns I see it and I realize 2592 01:42:01,360 --> 01:41:58,640 how absolutely insignificant I really am 2593 01:42:02,980 --> 01:42:01,370 what had happened was as we had a 2594 01:42:04,810 --> 01:42:02,990 casualty and was someone that was killed 2595 01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:04,820 in action and they were setting it up 2596 01:42:09,370 --> 01:42:07,010 properly to cover the body on the litter 2597 01:42:11,350 --> 01:42:09,380 with the flag and the guys that worked 2598 01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:11,360 the guys and gals that worked at the the 2599 01:42:16,170 --> 01:42:13,010 medevac station they were there at the 2600 01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:16,180 hospital and they did one of the most 2601 01:42:21,340 --> 01:42:18,530 impressive ceremonies of taking this 2602 01:42:22,660 --> 01:42:21,350 person from the aircraft to the the 2603 01:42:25,150 --> 01:42:22,670 folks that were going to receive it and 2604 01:42:26,770 --> 01:42:25,160 I'm telling you I had tears my eyes and 2605 01:42:29,590 --> 01:42:26,780 they're coming back now as I think about 2606 01:42:32,290 --> 01:42:29,600 it and it really fused to me what 2607 01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:32,300 Memorial Day is and these Vietnam era 2608 01:42:35,890 --> 01:42:34,250 vets that have been contacting me good 2609

Chiefs that were shepherding so on 2623 01:43:13,150 --> 01:43:10,250 so first thing I have helped about six 2624 01:43:16,810 --> 01:43:13,160 of these Vietnam era vets with this 2625 01:43:21,610 --> 01:43:16,820 Vietnam War 50th anniversary triple W 2626 01:43:26,890 --> 01:43:21,620 Vietnam War 50th 5 0 th com that's 2627 01:43:29,620 --> 01:43:26,900 Vietnam War 5 0 th com is a website to

veteran and I've helped 2631 01:43:38,950 --> 01:43:37,250 a lot of them find the site I've 2632 01:43:40,630 --> 01:43:38,960 actually filled it up for a few guys who 2633 01:43:43,870 --> 01:43:40,640 seemed a little bit intimidated by the 2634 01:43:46,060 --> 01:43:43,880 site and I've signed up distant Thunder 2635 01:43:48,669 --> 01:43:46,070 as a partner 2636 01:43:50,919 --> 01:43:48,679 for this program and I want everyone 2637 01:43:52,629 --> 01:43:50,929 that that knows a Vietnam vet that's 2638 01:43:55,750 --> 01:43:52,639 that is one that listens to the show of

because if anybody out of 2642 01:44:05,979 --> 01:44:03,829 one group didn't get a lot of respect 2643 01:44:07,959 --> 01:44:05,989 coming back even the Korean War vets 2644 01:44:10,149 --> 01:44:07,969 were not looked upon and that was a 2645 01:44:12,550 --> 01:44:10,159 pretty messy situation as well but 2646 01:44:15,640 --> 01:44:12,560 Vietnam had a certain you got caught up 2647 01:44:17,530 --> 01:44:15,650 in a certain social political sphere 2648 01:44:19,660 --> 01:44:17,540 that definitely detracted from our 2649 01:44:24,640 --> 01:44:19,670 veterans through the website again that 2650 01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:24,650 website is triple W Vietnam War all 2651 01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:28,489 one-word no-spaces the numbers 5 0 th 2652 01:44:33,129 --> 01:44:31,250 calm and

2658 01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:48,139 up with the site and we started 2659 01:44:52,600 --> 01:44:51,170 correspondence I have a great friend 2660 01:44:55,240 --> 01:44:52,610 that I've made who just sent me a 2661 01:44:58,330 --> 01:44:55,250 newsletter from his group the c7 2662 01:44:59,800 --> 01:44:58,340 organization the c7 was the caribou 2663 01:45:01,060 --> 01:44:59,810 airplane that they flew on and he gave 2664 01:45:02,439 --> 01:45:01,070 us some tips and some very interesting 2665 01:45:04,300 --> 01:45:02,449 missions that they did and things that 2666 01:45:06,580 --> 01:45:04,310 he was involved in on the periphery so 2667 01:45:08,680 --> 01:45:06,590 Roger I say hello and I'd like to 2668 01:45:12,220 --> 01:45:08,690 recognize they took the time to send to 2669 01:45:15,459 --> 01:45:12,230 me mr. Harold Meyers senior who passed 2670 01:45:19,120 --> 01:45:15,469 away not too long ago he was a flight 2671 01:45:21,640 --> 01:45:19,130 engineer on the c7 and the 537 Tactical 2672 01:45:23,379 --> 01:45:21,650 Air Support Squadron which has a dear 2673 01:45:25,030 --> 01:45:23,389 part in my heart because I was a member 2674 01:45:30,550 --> 01:45:25,040 of the 6o first tactical air support 2675 01:45:34,180 --> 01:45:30,560 squadron in Germany in 66 and I think 2676 01:45:35,770 --> 01:45:34,190 it's a absolutely phenomenal thing that 2677 01:45:38,229 --> 01:45:35,780 these guys are honoring me with by you 2678 01:45:42,310 --> 01:45:38,239 mean taking the time to write me and ask 2679 01:45:44,470 --> 01:45:42,320 me and give me some some good stuff it 2680 01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:44,480 has been it's been a big part and I 2681 01:45:49,060 --> 01:45:47,449 think it's critical to link Vietnam era 2682 01:45:50,979 --> 01:45:49,070 guys with the generation that's coming 2683 01:45:53,919 --> 01:45:50,989 up now because they have about the same 2684 01:45:55,810 --> 01:45:53,929 displacement in time as I did as a young 2685 01:45:58,540 --> 01:45:55,820 guy going up with guys in World War two 2686 01:45:59,390 --> 01:45:58,550 and that's that's almost like they've 2687 01:46:02,120 --> 01:45:59,400 never heard of it 2688 01:46:04,190 --> 01:46:02,130 it's definitely is not a rebel in 2689 01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:04,200 Florida going on right so Roth no 2690 01:46:07,520 --> 01:46:05,970 nothing Rob I want to ask you one 2691 01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:07,530 question have you guys been tracking at 2692 01:46:12,980 --> 01:46:09,810 Moore's burn boring anything about the 2693 01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:12,990 the canine military guys who've been 2694 01:46:16,130 --> 01:46:14,610 trying to get their dogs when their dogs 2695 01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:16,140 are retired or when they leave the 2696 01:46:21,650 --> 01:46:19,170 military and how they are then they've 2697 01:46:24,950 --> 01:46:21,660 been overlooked and the dogs have been 2698 01:46:27,380 --> 01:46:24,960 they haven't the the the the regulation 2699 01:46:29,510 --> 01:46:27,390 or the policy is that you're supposed to 2700 01:46:32,480 --> 01:46:29,520 have the first opportunity to adopt your 2701 01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:32,490 dog and a number of guys have not been 2702 01:46:36,620 --> 01:46:34,290 able to get it and they found out their 2703 01:46:38,060 --> 01:46:36,630 dogs have been actually adopted they 2704 01:46:40,700 --> 01:46:38,070 were put up for adoption and taken by 2705 01:46:42,230 --> 01:46:40,710 other people and not that anything this 2706 01:46:43,940 --> 01:46:42,240 looks like any kind of MIS character 2707 01:46:45,830 --> 01:46:43,950 these dogs at all it's a fairly well 2708 01:46:47,840 --> 01:46:45,840 vetted program they're just angry 2709 01:46:50,090 --> 01:46:47,850 because they have a bond with the dog 2710 01:46:52,550 --> 01:46:50,100 that they served with to the point of 2711 01:46:54,230 --> 01:46:52,560 almost like serving with another human 2712 01:46:56,150 --> 01:46:54,240 and a couple canine handles explained me 2713 01:46:58,610 --> 01:46:56,160 it's even more in-depth than what 2714 01:47:01,940 --> 01:46:58,620 they've dealt with with another person 2715 01:47:03,830 --> 01:47:01,950 the bond between the the dog and the and 2716 01:47:05,480 --> 01:47:03,840 the soldier I thought was built into the 2717 01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:05,490 process that the soldier would have the 2718 01:47:10,640 --> 01:47:08,730 first it's supposed to be and this one 2719 01:47:12,380 --> 01:47:10,650 guy he's actually working pretty hard 2720 01:47:14,780 --> 01:47:12,390 trying to get his dog which is has been 2721 01:47:16,250 --> 01:47:14,790 released and adopted by as a civilian 2722 01:47:18,050 --> 01:47:16,260 family in North Carolina and he was 2723 01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:18,060 offered a therapy dog and he says I 2724 01:47:23,960 --> 01:47:20,370 can't even entertain thinking of another 2725 01:47:25,310 --> 01:47:23,970 dog his dog is there's some legislation 2726 01:47:26,870 --> 01:47:25,320 that's been introduced in the house to 2727 01:47:28,700 --> 01:47:26,880 get this corrected and straightened out 2728 01:47:30,680 --> 01:47:28,710 but I'd like to call attention to all 2729 01:47:34,100 --> 01:47:30,690 the listeners that we have on our show 2730 01:47:38,510 --> 01:47:34,110 and distant thunder that this one may 2731 01:47:42,170 --> 01:47:38,520 seem to be a not a critical thing but 2732 01:47:44,810 --> 01:47:42,180 this is the this bond with soldiers and 2733 01:47:47,900 --> 01:47:44,820 sailors and Marines and airmen with 2734 01:47:50,390 --> 01:47:47,910 their with their working dogs is is 2735 01:47:50,870 --> 01:47:50,400 probably as critical if not more in some 2736 01:47:53,150 --> 01:47:50,880 cases 2737 01:47:54,740 --> 01:47:53,160 than it was with the other soldiers and 2738 01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:54,750 sales and airline Airmen that they serve 2739 01:47:59,750 --> 01:47:56,730 with so at war was boring we did
