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, masters degrees, and doctoral programs in the most high-demand fields 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 GI Bill may not. To find out more,

You know, the shuttle profile was unique. It was more like a bombing profile. So you'd be about

20 degrees, pointed about a mile and a half short of the runway, and then you would fly that down

to 2,000 feet, and then that's where you'd level it off to more of this 1.5 degree approach,

and you're targeting 2,500 feet down the runway, and then you target a touchdown at roughly

200 knots, and then we would put out the drag shoot, and then you kick off the shoot, and roll

to a stop at some point down the runway. Pilot Doug Curley now taking a few seconds of stick time

on Atlanta. Atlanta, take air data.

Strap in. For the Fighter Pilot Podcast, the internet radio show that explores the fascinating

world of air combat, the aircraft, the weapon systems, and most importantly, the people.

Now, here's your host, retired U.S. Navy Fighter Pilot, Vincent Iolo.

Hello, and welcome to the show. This is episode 153 titled Space Flight, and I am your host,

Jell-O, coming to you live from the annual tailhook convention in Reunion in Reno, Nevada,

where I am catching up with all sorts of old pals, including today's coast, Matt Arnie. Welcome

back to the show, flounder. Thanks, Jell-O. It's wonderful to be here with you, and wonderful to

be in Reno, catching up with all kinds of people. Yeah. Well, at least you still have your voice.
