Which scene was your favorite?

really... All of them, they were all very interesting

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, but we did listen to it while travelling and it was wonderful

I get the idea he doesn’t like the French

Wonderful read, would highly recommend:). Very detailed and engaging account that I was enthralled with.

Great story

I was a 25 years aircraft maintenance troop and it was interesting to hear (even though it wasn’t directly stated) how important it was that I did my job well. I enjoyed hearing what really goes on in an engagement and had no idea how busy a pilot gets. No wonder they have to be the best of the best. Thanks Dan.

Great

I rarely review books, but this is an exception. the narration, book and editing are top notch. its not often I run across a book written by a 'Wild Weasel' pilot and learned a few things about the F-16 systems I didn't already know, so its worth the educational value as well.

Great Military Listen.

I sat on this for most of the summer but once I started it, I couldnt turn it off. Makes me proud to say my tax dollars went to support the Wild Weasels. Thank You Lt. Col. Hampton for your service to our country.
