Fighter Pilot Mount Rushmore: Do You Agree? | Bro Chat 21

from The Afterburn Podcast Hosted by Mike "Flash" McVay, John "Rain" Waters

In Bro Chat #21, Mike "FLASH" McVeigh, John "RAIN" Waters, Jeff "VADER" Brandon, Jeff "BENDER" Page, and Kevin "KONAN" Parkhurst debate the greatest fighter pilots in American history — and can't fully agree on a single mountain. Robin Olds is a given. Everything else is up for grabs. From Royce Williams' classified Korean War sortie to Richard Bong's 40 kills in a P-38, from John Boyd's OODA loop to Eddie Rickenbacker setting the standard in WWI — we make the case, defend the picks, and violently disagree in the comments section.
