DAN BONGINO (HOST): You’ve got pilots flying in, flying in sorties right now, where this isn’t some Maverick Top Gun exercise. Viper’s dead. No, no, you’re really dead. Like Viper’s really dead. This is the real thing.
This is invaluable experience for both our technology and, more importantly, for warfighters who are now getting bodies and bodies of flight hours - bodies getting flight hours. Excuse me. Hundreds and hundreds of flight hours in theater.
