what he saw on combat and and you had mentioned
that when you know, when in the beginning of desert storm,
that there was the only plane that got off the
ground at the time got taken out by your your
wingman or you were his wingmen, and that you started
(00:40):
to say that there was a lot of shrapnel and
you were going towards it. I mean, did you have
to have to dodge this shrapnell? I mean because you
said it was about two miles away, but it comes
up on you fast, right.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Uh, yeah, it does.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
It was, but I was going down like the the
airplane that the fireball got was going by me that way,
and it was it was in the middle of the night.
It was like two three o'clock in the morning over
there and you know so it made a pretty big,
pretty big bang.

That's in the history books, right.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, there's there's a Yeah, that's an honor.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I'm honored to have you in here. We've had NASCAR drivers,
We've had Jack Hannond, We've had surgeon.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
There are more surgeons than fire pilots.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Okay, there you go.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Well that just because you where his where he is
in the Echelona.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Wow, jobs to have that.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Most people don't.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, but what would.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You say to anybody who has a son or grandson
or maybe themselves right now are listening and they're thinking
about joining the military to maybe be a fighter pilot
or any branch.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Your daughter or thank you?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
That's right, I stand corrected as doctor Cohen is a
father and two girls.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
What would you say to men or women listening?
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Susan and I.
Speaker 6 (01:51):
Both believe that everybody should be spent at least two
years in the military mandatory.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
I agree because.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
It, you know, instills in you some uh patriotism, yeah,
patriotism and discipline.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Yeah, discipline is a big time.
Speaker 6 (02:08):
But you know, I would I would say, if you know,
you want to go into the military, and especially if
you want to be a pilot or a or whatever.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
It's not going to fall in your in your lap.
You have to go out and get it. They just
don't give it to you.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Did you decide to go to the military, and what
made you decide to be a fighter pilot out of
all the choices you could have had.
Speaker 6 (02:32):
Well, to be a fighter pilot, you had to go
through pilot training.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
And it's how you ended up in your class.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
We started out my class started out a class of
sixty four.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
We had about half of.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Them wash out, and then I ended.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Up towards the top of the class. And that was
book smarts and then the physical part. How does that work?
That's why I clan lost.
Speaker 6 (03:02):
Well, it's it's how you do in the daily flying training, okay,
and your and your check rides. We you know, we
had check rides and your navigation and all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 7 (03:14):
Just just over to like you're almost a genius in
a way. Knowing that now I'll give you a call
and take it. You were a fighter pilot. Man, you're
allowed to be.
Speaker 6 (03:22):
I started out in calls to become an engineer, but
the second semester, calculus took care of that.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Okay, so could get.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
It, yeah the time you lost.
Speaker 6 (03:34):
Oh yeah, I don't know how long we have, but no,
we were It was the night before desert storm was
supposed to start, and we were out doing just practice,
you know, and there was a haze layer from about
three thousand feet to about thirty thousand feet, and we
were doing this.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
It's called all aspect missile defense.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
With no radar, no nothing, and it was just based
on timing and distance. And it was hygie maneuvering at
night and we were in the in the the the haze, okay,
so there was no horizon to look at. And whenever
(04:17):
we did our last maneuver and popped up above the clouds,
my flight liad tater. He said, you got a vision
and I said, yeah, I do, and he goes clear
to rejoin. I started rejoining on it and it's not
getting any closer. And to see a light out there
and I'm like, that's Venus. And then at that point
(04:41):
I got spatial disorientation and I had to tell myself,
you know, I'm like, okay, that's up, that's down, that's up,
that's down. I look at my instruments and I didn't know,
I didn't know how I was going to get the
airplane on the ground when we came into land. Then
when we popped out the bottom of the haze, I
(05:04):
saw the city lights and everything else, and I was
instantly better.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Wow, oh my goodness.
Speaker 7 (05:09):
What could all ultimately happen? Go too high up in
stall out or go down in the ground, which which direction.
Speaker 6 (05:15):
We Well, you could most spatial disorientation accidents happened near
the ground.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Okay, yeah, you know that.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Is interesting because I always have heard and when we
went out to Colorado, when you go up higher in
the mountains, you do get a little disoriented, to get
light headed.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And I really didn't believe it until I experienced it.
Speaker 7 (05:35):
Could you get into a fighter plane right now and
fly it if.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Your knee was good?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Was good?
Speaker 1 (05:40):
If doctor co and fixed them a couple.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Of years, you remember all your instruments like it was yesterday. Yeah,
I think so.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Well, you know, and I spent twenty twenty eight years
of the airlines too, so okay, you know iced to
air bus. I still know that like.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
The seven twenty sevens and stuff for.
Speaker 6 (05:56):
Those guys three twenty.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I don't know much about airplane so well, I would
say this we definitely look at you as a hero.
And I think everybody or anybody in the United States
of America, I would look at fighter pilots as a
hero and Susie volunteering her time with the military. But
then look how life works out. Doctor Cohen really came
to the rescue and helped you, and I'm sure in
(06:18):
a sense you look at him as your hero by
saving that darknee cap.
Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'll tell you what. I tell you what that is.
The whole thing works out. You know, I believe in
I'm strong believer.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
In Jesus Christ, Amen, and he's my personal savior. And
this is how it worked out, you know.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Right well, you know, yeah, doctor Cohen was your god thing.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
But it started with him listening to you guys.
Speaker 7 (06:42):
I said, you know what, it's like, I can't wait
to hear I hope I make it there, and when
I do, I got a lot of questions like how
did you do this?
Speaker 2 (06:50):
This, that, that, and this and that what you just
said first though, I hope you make it there too.
Speaker 4 (06:54):

I can be.
