0:00.0	Thanks to our sponsor, National University. National University knows how important flexibility is
0:04.9	for busy adults going back to school. After all, NU was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran.
0:09.5	That's why NU offers year-round enrollment, as well as four and eight-week online course
0:13.7	options, masters degrees, and doctoral programs in the most high-demand fields so veterans and
0:18.3	service members can advance their careers. NU is a yellow ribbon school and accepts the post-911
0:23.2	GI Bill while offering veterans help to cover what the GI Bill may not. To find out more,

1:21.7	As you may recall from his previous appearances, Ken or prime time, as I like to call him,
1:26.6	as a former US Air Force flight test engineer enjoys exploring the more technical side of air combat.
1:33.3	And on this episode, you'll hear all about the Benefield Inicoic Chamber at Edwards Air Force
1:38.4	Base, California, where important electronic warfare testing takes place. Unfortunately, we ran
1:43.5	out of spots to run this interview as a numbered show this year. So here it is as a bonus episode
1:48.6	instead. Please enjoy it as well as the rest of the fights on series. And I will return in December
