1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: I mentioned at the top of the program that there

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 1: was a book that I wanted to tell you about,

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:09,079
Speaker 1: and it is. Uh. It's actually what a source of

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: great pride that I tell you about this book. I

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: want to go back to two thousand three, May the

6
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 1: third of two thousand three. I want to tell you

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I've told this story before. Some of you who have

8
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: been a long time listening, uh listeners have heard the story,

9
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: but it is worth hearing it again. It's May of

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 1: two thousand three. A couple of months earlier, we began

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: the invasion of a Rock, one of the first acts

12
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: in the War on Terror. This was the ward that

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: was to remove and eliminate Saddam Hussein. George W. Bush

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: had spent a year and a half traveling the country

15
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: explaining it, gearing up support for it. Uh. It was

16
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: a major, major conflict in the War on Terror in

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 1: our response to it, and it had become controversial of

18
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: course the Democrats. The unity after nine eleven two thousand

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: one lasted about two weeks and then that became politicized.

20
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: And on that day in May, early May two thousand

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: and three, I went home. Well, I got a note

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: before I got home. You have got to come straight home.

23
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: You won't believe what just arrived FedEx. I said, what

24
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: is it? Just tell me? Said no, you have to

25
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: see this. So I got home and I looked at

26
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: what I had received, and I was I was floored.

27
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: I was stunned. I've never seen anything like it. I

28
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: didn't know these things happened. I was moved, I was

29
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: blown away. I felt small, I did. I ran through

30
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: all kinds of emotions. I mean a lickety split fashion.

31
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: What it was was an American flag properly folded inside

32
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 1: a zip lock bag, and there were certificates stating that

33
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: flag had flown on the following aircraft, and each aircraft

34
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: had a well you would frame it. It's a it's

35
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 1: like an official notification of the date that the aircraft

36
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: flew that flag on a mission. There were five different

37
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: aircraft and a tanker, and all of the pilots of

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: the five different aircraft in the tanker had signed the

39
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: documents certifying that that flag had flown. They tanker pilot

40
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: was the originator, the mastermind of this, okay, and he

41
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: included a handwritten note on yellow legal paper explaining that

42
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: these five crew members had flown that flag in my

43
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: honor on the initial bombing runs, the first bombing runs

44
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: in the war against the Rock, the shock and awe portion,

45
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: and as their missions were completed, and as they were

46
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 1: all refueled by this tanker pilot, that flag was put

47
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: in the ziploc bag and the pilots all signed these

48
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: certifications and they were fed X to me, and they

49
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: did nothing more than that. I received this and was floored.

50
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 1: As I say, I went through a mixture of emotions,

51
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: including humility and smallness, and I'm asking myself, what have

52
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: I done? Because this was an honor. I mean, it

53
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: was clearly an honor. I didn't know things like this happened.

54
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: I um just not enough experience in actual military combat

55
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: circumstances to know that time was taken for this kind

56
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: of ceremonial or memorial type event. Well, we took that

57
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: flag and we unfolded it and it's now framed and

58
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: the certificates with all those signatures and the pictures of

59
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: each of the aircraft, and there's fighters, there's bombers and

60
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: the tanker and they are they surround the flag and

61
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: we went We had an actual golden eagle carved to

62
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: stand and it's about five ft tall once it's on

63
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: its pedestals, huge and we put this in a niche,

64
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: big niche in h in a room right outside my library,

65
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: so you can't miss this when you're walking into the library.

66
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,239
Speaker 1: You can't. It's the common people who don't know about

67
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: this answer of what in the world is that? And

68
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: I get them regaled them with the story. I said, yeah,

69
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: these guys full that flag in my honor. On the

70
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: initial bombing run of I rock Well. A ringleader in

71
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: this operation was Autenant Colonel Marcus sar. He flew the tanker,

72
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: he flew k C one thirty five, which is the

73
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: military version of Boeing seven oh seven, and the k

74
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: C ten, which is the military version of the d

75
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: C ten. And he's the one who had written the

76
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: note on yellow legal paper explaining why they did it,

77
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: and it was it was filled with recognition and support

78
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: and thanks for the support I had given the military

79
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: over the years. As I said, I was just I

80
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: was blown away by it was an honor that that

81
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: I didn't even know existed, and I had no idea

82
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: it was coming. And even now when I stop and

83
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: think about the fact that it happened, it's it's one

84
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: of those events that happens in your life or in

85
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: your career that you never forget and that you're always

86
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 1: going to be overwhelmingly and supremely proud of. Well. Over

87
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: the years, Katherine and I have gotten to know Lieutenant

88
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: Colonel Hassara and his wife and his family, and we

89
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: see them now and then, and they're just folks. These

90
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: these people that you never meet there, just humble, and

91
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: they are the exact thing when I talk about people

92
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: who make the country work, These are the people I'm

93
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 1: talking about. They're out there volunteering every day. They sign

94
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: up two defend the country, to protect the constitution, to

95
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 1: carry out their orders. They're doing it because this is

96
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: how they've decided they want to serve their country. In

97
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: Hussari's k s, it's been his life, uh and most

98
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: of these other pilots, they never really leave it even

99
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: after their their service ends. But they never seek any fame.

100
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: They didn't send me this for fame. They didn't send

101
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: this for notoriety or notification or anything else. They just

102
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: sent it as distinct honor. I can't tell you. I mean,

103
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: sitting here, I'm looking at this package and we're going

104
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: through the process of getting this all framed, and and

105
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, here, these guys have their orders, they're part

106
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: of the initial bombing run, and before they leave, somebody

107
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: organizes this tribute to me by having this flag fly

108
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 1: in every one of these aircraft. Aircraft. They didn't all

109
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: fly on one day, of course, because the aircraft had

110
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: to be freeled that the land and the flag gets

111
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: transferred to the next aircraft, So it takes as many,

112
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: maybe as many as two days. But the dates that

113
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 1: the flag flew on each craft are specified. I later

114
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: came to learn that it's it's something that's done with

115
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,559
Speaker 1: some regularity, so it was not unique, but that didn't matter.

116
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: It's still just just to be thought of, to be

117
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: considered I thought about during a time like this. Just

118
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: to this day, it still humbles me. It's the best

119
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: word I can come up with to describe it. Well.

120
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: As I said, it's seventeen years ago, well, fourteen years ago,

121
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: fourteen years ago actually fourteen and a half years ago now,

122
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: and a lot has happened since then. Lieutenant Colonel Hassara

123
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: still has his hands in in terms of staying current

124
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: with the strategy UH and he consults uh, tanker operations

125
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: to this day. And he decided he wanted to write

126
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: a book about all this, and he asked me if

127
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: I thought that it would sell, and I that I do.

128
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: I don't know of too many books on the refueling

129
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: process for military combat aircraft. And he I loved his

130
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 1: original title. I knew it would never pass. I knew

131
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: would never fly. But the original title this book was

132
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: passing gas and I thought, that's that's dynamite. That's awesome.

133
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,439
Speaker 1: But everybody they dialed it back and the title of

134
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: the book is now Tanker Pilot Lessons from the Cockpit

135
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: and it's by Marcus Sara. And I'm gonna hold it

136
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: up here. Let me hold it up with the side camera,

137
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 1: because that'll be a better Oh you you put it

138
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: in a switcher, Go ahead and put it up. It

139
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: goes on sale tomorrow, and it's uh there it is

140
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: for those of you watching on the ditto cam, and

141
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: it is. It's got pictures. You will not believe some

142
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: of the pictures taken. You will not believe the danger

143
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 1: and the precision that goes in to refueling aircraft. Let

144
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: me give you one example. Let's say a B two

145
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: stealth bomber is assigned a bombing mission to Libyan. It'll

146
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: take off at an air Force base, likely in Kansas

147
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: or Texas, and it will fly non stop to the target,

148
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: drop its ordinance, and fly NonStop back thirty hours. It

149
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 1: will be refueled ten to twelve times thirty hours non

150
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: stop stealth be too bomber. That does one example, But

151
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: the the aspects involved of refueling, the danger and the

152
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: precision and the necessity of accuracy, and flight path and

153
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,439
Speaker 1: meeting up with the with the tankers. Uh So, it's

154
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 1: just it's it's fascinating. It's an aspect of of air

155
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: force operation that people just forgetted. You've seen it depicted

156
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: in movies. The boom lowers from the tanker and it

157
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,119
Speaker 1: gets to the nozzle on the genit's refueling and refuels

158
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: and everybody's separation flies up. What about the turbulence? What

159
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: happens that the boom comes dislodged and jet fuel sprays

160
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 1: all over the cockpit of an airplane. It's outside, But

161
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: what happens with these are all the risks. Plus these

162
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 1: tankers are flying around with tanks and tanks of jet

163
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: fuel in the fuselage. That's all they are. They're just

164
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: they're just flying tanks of jet fuel. And the precision

165
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: and the coordination necessary to make this all happen, and

166
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: the real life stories of people involved in this, and

167
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: the the military combat details and operations. It's been vetted

168
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: with the Department of Defense. There were some things the

169
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Department of Defense asked them to go slow on. Understand, believe,

170
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: but it is wide open. It exposes a lot, it

171
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:07,359
Speaker 1: explains a lot, but it takes you inside the minds

172
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: of the guys, the people who fly these missions, the

173
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: combat missions, the refueling missions. And there's a there's a

174
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: saying in the Air Force in the United States military,

175
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 1: nobody kicks ass without tanker gas. And it's entirely true.

176
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: If these tanker guys didn't exist, if the technology didn't exist,

177
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 1: then over half of military operations we engage in today

178
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: would be impossible thirty hours, six or seven, maybe more refuelings.

179
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: He might say, why not station the airplanes over at

180
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: a base in Germany? Stealth technology necessary for secrets cruiser

181
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,719
Speaker 1: state side. Uh, It's it's eye opening in a lot

182
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: of ways. And Marcus start, these are all just fine

183
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: people and He's never written a book before, and he

184
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: spent years putting this thing together. It had become a

185
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: total labor of love because he loves the air Force,

186
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: he loved flying, he loved tankers. You know, as everybody

187
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: has their passions in life. Marcus stars passion is the

188
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: air force and tanker technology at tanker strategy and the

189
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: obvious relationship it has to attack and combat strategy. Uh,

190
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 1: these fighter aircraft go through fuel like early iPhones went

191
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: through battery. Remember how often you had to recharge your

192
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: early iPhone maybe even to this day. Well that's what

193
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: these things burned through fuel like you can't believe. And

194
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: if weren't for the tiker tanker pilots and the talents

195
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: that everybody has the technology to do this, um, much

196
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: of our military operations wouldn't be possible. It's been done

197
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: for so long that it's all just taken for granted.

198
00:13:55,200 --> 00:14:00,120
Speaker 1: But it's an area of air force combat lie if

199
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: that nobody has written about. And it's fascinating, it's it's

200
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: it's funny, it's filled with some of the most breathtaking

201
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: photos you've ever seen. And I want you all to

202
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: know about it simply because this is a great American.

203
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: This is These guys flew that flag for me are

204
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: exactly what I say. They're the best kept secrets in

205
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: this country. They are doing everything on the up and up.

206
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: They're straight down the road their morality and their virtue.

207
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: As intact, they stray like everybody does. But these people

208
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: are doing their level best to be their level best

209
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: each and every day in defense of the country, defense

210
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: of the constitution. And they are not seeking fame. And

211
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna that is such an important human characteristic. They're

212
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: not doing anything they do for recognition. They're not doing

213
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 1: anything they do for notoriety or fame. Uh Sara wrote

214
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: the book because he loves what he does and he

215
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: wants people to know what he did. He wants people

216
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: to know what he loves, so I wanted to mention

217
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: it to you. It goes on sale tomorrow. Veteran's Day

218
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 1: is the coordinated sale and the same publisher that we

00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: Exceptional Americans. So there it is. Brian Still got it

221
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: into Switcher. There at the Dodo Cam tanker pilot lessons

222
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:24,560
Speaker 1: from the cockpit, but there are more lessons than just

223
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: from the cockpit. It's uh, it's a fun read. It's

224
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: an eye opening read, and it'll it'll teach you things

225
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: that you didn't even think you wanted to know, but

226
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: they're fascinating. So that's I've been waving. I thought about

227
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: talking to you about this a week ago before it

228
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,080

232
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: Tanker Pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Mark Hussary, I forgot to mention,

233
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: in all of my humility, that I out the forward
