Steve Davies Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Fellow simmers I'm interviewing a former F-15E pilot next weekend for my new YouTube channel "10 Percent True". He also has time as an IFF instructor, MC-12 pilot, and U-2 mission planner. Am gathering questions for him from the wider community. If there's something you want me to ask him, please post it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKRC6h8Vk4d2a9hHDrS1hMA/discussion :pilotfly: Steve Davies https://www.10percenttrue.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cupra Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Am gathering questions for him from the wider community. If there's something you want me to ask him, please post it here: Nice idea. But I do not have any questions… all I have would end with one of this 2 options: He will not answer or he will lie to you. :music_whistling: DCS F-16C Blk. 40/42 :helpsmilie: Candidate - 480th VFS - Cupra | 06 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Davies Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Yurgon It's finally posted! Thanks for your interest, and I hope the answers made it worth the time to ask the questions :smartass: Here's the first of the four parts (all on my channel already): :pilotfly: Steve Davies https://www.10percenttrue.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Oh man what's wrong with the Internet? People comment on everything, and here I get an almost exclusive AMA with a fighter pilot, how cool is that? :thumbup: Steve, Hacker, thank you guys so much, that was really interesting and informative! I hope you'll get a chance to touch some of the questions you had to leave out when Hacker comes back on. I'll only have about a million questions regarding OIF and then the push to CAS in Afghanistan in the Eagle, but for now I'll leave the stage to others to get some questions out to Hacker. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I finally finished watching all 4 parts of your interview with Hacker. That was brilliant, what a cool dude! Also great interview and great questions. Let us know when the 2 of you get together to talk more in depth about Hacker's combat tours! Also, some more stuff on the MC-12 and a lot more on the U-2 planning would be most appreciated! :thumbup: And one question up front: you asked Hacker whether the F-35 would be better at CAS than the A-10. I fully appreciate his answer on that question (it's about the weapon effect, not about the airframe). But how about the focus and the mindset? I believe A-10 pilots train CAS almost exclusively. F-35 pilots have to be multi-role pilots. With his combat experience as a CAS pilot in the F-15E, does Hacker think A-10 pilots would have an advantage at doing the job better? Or would that even out with specialized training and combat experience? And/or does having a WSO in the back seat ease the pilot's workload during CAS?
