Thanks to our sponsor National University.

National University knows how important flexibility is for busy adults going back to school.

After all, NU was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran.

That's why NU offers year-round enrollment as well as four and eight-week online

course options, master's degrees and doctoral programs in the most high-demand

field so veterans and service members can advance their careers.

NU is a yellow ribbon school and accepts the post-911 GI Bill while offering veterans help to cover what the G-I-Bill may not.

This week on the Fighter pilot podcast retired US Navy lieutenant commander Q

barbecue Sterling joins us to kick off our aircraft series with an in-depth look at a multi-role fighter attack aircraft

renowned for its lethality and reliability. I flew the F-18 some version of it in

every tour through 20 years in the Navy and I never had a major

incident that caused me to be worried about whether the airplane was going to make

it or not and I think that speaks to the reliability of the airplane and how it was built,

how we're trained and how we maintained it in the Navy. And that's really the best thing

I think about the F-18 in my time with it. Good Sniff, Big 21.

Real session standby with the IV.

Coming down my note, both side, my mind.

Five 1, Big 21, The Big 21.

Go.

Go. Go.
