Ep 179: A-10 Pilot, Flying Cross Recipient Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell

Send us Fan MailIn April 2003 in Iraq, Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell flew a mission that defied logic and common sense. Responding to a call for help from a ground force about to be overrun, KC risked her own life to save them. The enemy always gets a vote, and then Captain Campbell's A-10 was almost shot down. With no hydraulics, in a plane that shouldn't have been able to fly, KC did what only 2 or 3 other pilots have lived through- she flew her A-10 back to friendly control in manual reversion. For her actions that day, she was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. Colonel Campbell was kind enough to talk about her amazing career- from becoming the first father/daughter Cadet Wing Commander pair at the United States Air Force Academy, to pilot training, to becoming an A-10 pilot, to her current passion project, the Special Operations Transition Foundation. Her dedication to service continues to this day- and we can now add "Best Selling Author" to her list of remarkable accolades. Pre-order her first book, "Flying In The Face Of Fear- A Fighter Pilot's Lessons on Leading With Courage" on Amazon- https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Face-Fear-Fighter-Lessons/dp/1394152353 .If you are a Special Operator getting ready to transition out of the service, check out SOTF.org for all the help you need for the next step in your journey. We are truly honored to tell the story of Col Kim "Killer Chick" Campbell, and we appreciate her coming on.
