Ep.139 – from Tornado to tri-jet with Michael Napier

What this episode covers

Michael Napier is normally associated with fast jets and he is also a recognised author specialising in aviation history. Most notable for his book 'Tornado Over the Tigris', Mike's military career spanned almost two decades but what is less known is that for 21 years Michael Napier was a pilot and captain at British Airways. We discuss how he migrated from military fast jet flying to the life of an airline pilot; flying the DC10, Boeing 777, the Airbus A320 family and the Boeing 787.
