Hi everybody, welcome to Dance Know's History Hit. I've got major general Greg Feast on

the podcast. He is the man who flying in F1's 17 Stealth bomber dropped the first bomb

on Iraq. 30 years ago it was the beginning of the air battle that would lead to a ground

war to liberate Kuwait in 1991. His cool sign is beast and it was great to talk to

the beast, both about that particular sortie, but also his career in the US Air Force, which

eventually saw him reign the whole of safety for the US Air Force, which includes a sizable

nuclear arsenal. You think you've got a tough job? The beast has seen it all. In the course

of a career he flew 5,500 hours and 800 combat hours in Central America, but also Desert

Storm Iraqi Freedom and enduring freedom. He has robust views about how the ministry

should be used. Now politicians need to get out of the way. This was a fascinating

conversation. I hope you enjoy it. If you want to listen to other podcasts we've done

with Gulf War veterans, we're kind of marking the 30th anniversary talk to Andy McNabb,

we talk to General Zorup Smith. Please do so history hit.tv. You can install our podcast

that will be aired there, but you also get while you're there, the Netflix for history,

hundreds of hours of history documentaries. I'm out this week making a few more of those

hours. There'll be plenty of new stuff for you to watch. In the meantime, everybody,

enjoy this chat with the beast.

Greg, thank you so much for coming on the podcast.

Yeah, it's great to be here, Dan. I'm glad I have an opportunity to meet you. Well, I

should ask because every time I've met an Air Force guy like you, I should ask what's

your cold side? Yeah, my cold sign is beast. I got that early on in my career and it

stopped the whole time. Okay, beast. Is there a story there? Or is it because it rhymes
