Great stories!

I was concerned about the virtual voice narration, but quickly got used to it. It sounds pretty real. The stories are worth listening! Great book!

Audible: please stop using AI narration!

Couldn’t get through the first few chapters. I’m sure it’s a good story, but I can’t stand AI narration- especially when in comes to subjects full of technical terms, acronyms, etc.

AI voice SUCKS

Great pilot's perspective

Excellent book by a very experienced pilot. The AI voice was a little distracting because it couldn't say things like MiG (robot pronounced it MeGee) and F-15E (F-15eh) or tail numbers (91-3025 became 91 through 3025). Other than those slightly comical misreads, it was a very good book with many experienced pulled smoothly together.

Amazing career, fantastic experiences, all well told!

Loved this book! Great stories and and amazing career! I was disappointed when it ended! The AI reader had a few issues with some acronyms bit I knew what it was trying to do.

Interesting F16 stories from\ little covered front

Interesting stories largely from the war in Bosnia. Each focuses on one mission and there were a number of things to learn here. For example, how the international coalition felt about American participation and how it affected individual missions was really interesting.

The author is a bit cocky but, hey, fighter pilots, right?

Anyhow, a worthwhile listen for anyone interested in modern fighter pilot experiences.
