Episode 8.0 of the Bro Chat. In this episode, we welcome Billie Flynn, the former Senior Experimental Test Pilot for the F-35 program. Today we answer questions from Patreon supporters, discuss the F-35's capabilities, procurement wins and fails and a variety of other topics, including a hilarious story of how Vader accidentally ruined one of Bender's upgrade sorties in the F-16. Join the conversation and hear the inside scoop on all things military aviation with the Bro Chat.

You can find "Vader"and "Bender" over on the Kodiak Shack Podcast with weekly episodes on Defense Tech and more.
