Lt Col Trimble commissioned into the Air Force in 1970. He initially served as a Weapon System Officer in the F-4 Phantom. From April until December of 1972 Lt. Trimble flew 175 combat sorties with 82 of those over North Vietnam. On 27 December 1972, Desoto 03, piloted by Major Carl Jefcoat and Lt. Jack Trimble was hit by hostile fire forcing the crew to bail out over North Vietnam. Several days later, they were confirmed as POWs. Lt. Trimble and Major Jefcoat were released on 29 March 1973 along with the fourth and last group of POWs to be released by the North Vietnamese. Lt Col Trimble went on to earn his pilot wings and flew the F-4 for the remainder of his career.

On June 30th 2020, Lt David “MEZr” Schmitz was killed in an F-16 mishap at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina. He was assigned to the 77th Fighter Squadron which is apart of the 20th Fighter Wing. A recent article written by Rachel Cohen and published on Air Force Times highlights information never released to the public until now. “MEZr’s” ejection seat failed to work properly during an ejection sequence ultimately resulting in his death. A key component of the ACES-II ejection seat is the Digital Recovery Sequencer (DRS) which was determined to be at fault for the ejection seat failure. In this episode we talk about the revelations about suspected counterfeit chips and other components that were discovered during the investigation.Air Force Times Article by Rachel Cohen https://rb.gy/3mpg7wShop https://bit.ly/AfterburnMerchPatreon https://bit.ly/PatreonAfterburnLaunch your Aviation Career https://bit.ly/BogiDope_Rain "Afterburn" for 5% OffWingman Watch https://bit.ly/WingmanWatches "Rain10" for 10% offYouTube https://bit.ly/YouTube_AfterburnPodcastSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-afterburn-podcast/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands 🛫 Become a Fighter/Bomber/Cargo/Tanker/RPA Pilot 🎯 : http://bogidope.com/?bd=tappodcast 🛫🔺 Aviation & Defense Newsletter - https://bit.ly/AfterburnNewsletter 🔺✈ Your Pilot Destination E3 Aviation Association: https://bit.ly/E3AviationBecome a Patron, Support the Show, & Gain Exclusive Benefits: https://www.patreon.com/c/theafterburnpodcast🥷 Scrub Your Info from Data Brokers & Protect Yourself | https://aura.com/afterburn 14-day free trialFighter Pilot Book Recommendations: https://amzn.to/4nlA67m Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
