For this episode of The All-Around Adventure Podcast, I'm joined by retired Air Force fighter pilot, Jason Cooper. Call sign, CAS.
CAS found a love for aviation at a young age and he earned his private pilots license at age 17. This passion led him to pursue a degree at the University of Washington so he could apply for a pilot slot with the Air Force. After a long and arduous selection and training process, CAS found himself in the cockpit of the F-16 Viper. Since then he's conducted over 2,000 hours of flying time in the F-16. He also served as an instructor for the Air Force's Weapons School, as well as a Commander of the 425th Fighter Squadron. Now CAS shares the lessons that he's learned with others on the Be 1 Change 1 Podcast, alongside co-host, fellow fighter pilot, and guest on The All-Around Adventure Podcast, Paul "Roscoe" White.
In this episode, CAS tells us about his early days as a pilot and what it's like to head skyward in a plane by yourself. He also talks about mindset and what was necessary in order to make it through the long training pipeline to become a fighter pilot. Furthermore, we have a great discussion on why striving for something and being told "no" is better than not trying at all and having to ask yourself "what if?".
