Summary
Mandy Hickson is a fast-jet pilot who came face-to-face with Tom Cruise and, lost for words, told him, 'it's unlikely you'd be able to run after ejecting'. He agreed and she should know because Mandy is a former RAF fast-jet pilot who has completed three tours of duty and 45 combat missions.
You can imagine my glee at getting to ask her about her relationship with risk...
Strap in, do a salute to the tower and get ready for take-off because this is an episode and conversation packed with incredible and unique insights, stories from the skies - including a harrowing account of being airborne during 9/11 - and why the key to so many things is 'controlling the controllables'.
