Aviatrix Book Club October 2022 - Becky Condon
In this interview with Naval Aviator Becky Condon, we talk about her experiences as a military pilot and one of the first 6 women airline pilots at her company. Becky is a dedicated Aviatrix Book Club member who helped pave the way for the women who came behind her. I was grateful to both celebrate her achievements and mourn her less-that-pleasant experiences. We all owe a debt to women like Becky who opened the cockpit doors to us and faced hostility and harassment to pursue their career ambition.

E39 - Vietnam Stories with Jim Jay Larkin: Part 2
There is no one formula for building a good reputation in the military. It takes a combination of many factors, including character, competence, and courage. Military service is both an organization and a way of life, and every member brings their own perspective and experiences to the table. No one wakes up one day and finds themselves with an excellent reputation. It is something that is earned over time through consistently good behavior and actions.
This episode of the Pod Bless America tells the second part of Jim Jay Larkin's story. This time, along with being a well-respected Navy pilot, he will share his experience as the leader of the FBI SWAT team, the cases he had been through, and how all his hard work paid off in the military community.
Enjoy!

Favorite Quotes
09:48 - "The job I felt most proud about was helping guys on the ground so they wouldn't be overrun. But I have no idea whether those guys ever survived. I don't know whether everything we did enabled them to get extracted from that mess or whether they were overrun and killed. And that's why I started crying." - Jim Jay Larkin
37:02 - "When I was growing up, there were only three things I wanted to be in life. One was a Navy pilot, one was an FBI agent, and one was an Indian chief. So, I'm going to try the number two thing." - Jim Jay Larkin
51:20 - "I'm not going to risk the lives of our SWAT. Those guys are on their drum magazines with thousands of armored piercing rounds. They're going to kill us, and I'm not going to do it. No, you're ordered to do it. I said I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it." - Jim Jay Larkin
1:05:37 - "I feel a little awkward being here trying to be the center of attention. I'm not involved in law enforcement or the Navy anymore, but I'm very proud of that. For some reason that I don't understand, I'm proud that most people see me as not just a Navy pilot but a pretty good Navy pilot. They saw me as not just an FBI agent but a good FBI agent. It gives me more pride than anything else. And I also am embarrassed when it sounds like I'm blowing my horn. But when I was a 10-year-old kid, I never thought that anybody would respect me well enough to think that of me." - Jim Jay Larkin

"The Fighter Pilot Podcast" host and TOP GUN Instructor--Vincent "Jell-O" Aiello
Jell-O has been the most requested guest since this podcast started. Today he was kind enough to be interviewed and lived up to the hype.
Jell-O spent nearly 25 years in service flying mainly the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet but also the F-16 Fighting Falcon during an adversary tour. He accrued over 3,800 flight hours and 705 carrier landings, having served as a TOPGUN instructor and air wing operations officer. Jell-O left the Navy in 2017 and now flies for a major airline. He also started the "Fighter Pilot Podcast" which explores the fascinating world of air combat.
Jell-O is a great speaker with lots of stories. He has the wisdom of an experienced fighter pilot and is able to communicate it in an easy going way--a trait he shares with the first guest I interviewed, Matt "Freq" Casey. In this episode we talk about his advice to a new fighter pilot, what it feels like to land on a carrier at night, his favorite aircraft to fly, his views on leadership, and more.
