| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the fighter pilot podcast the internet show that |
| 0:09.2 | explores the fascinating world of air combat I am your host Vincent Iello this week. I have another |
| 0:13.8 | audio musing for you that I'll get to you in just a bit. But first I hope you're |

| 0:20.9 | family and friends and do some shopping and enjoy the winter weather if you're |
