Interview with an F-15 Desert Storm Pilot

My Guest today is Rick "Kluso" Tolini who wrote an excellent book entitled "Call Sign Kluso - An American Fighter Pilot in Mr. Reagan's Air Force"

You can pick up a hardcover or digital copy of the book here:

We discuss his experience leading up to and in Desert Storm, including his shoot down of a MiG-25 Foxbat. We also get into what makes a good fighter pilot, the tempo of air to air combat, and effective leadership skills. Rick's book is an absolute gem and I could not put it down when I started reading it.
