In Episode 133, John “Rain” Waters sits down with F-16 pilot Trent “Teddy” Meisel for a gripping and emotional conversation. Teddy walks us through his journey from small-town Oklahoma to the cockpit of the Viper, including a traumatic ejection over South Korea that nearly cost him his life. "Teddy" is also the founder of @4th_GenHuntingCo This episode dives into the moment-by-moment chaos of that day in May 2023, when a systems failure during a combat exercise forced him to make the ultimate call—pulling the ejection handle. Teddy reflects on what went wrong, how his training kicked in, and what it's like to come back from an ejection both physically and mentally. Rain and Teddy also discuss the realities of Total Force Integration, life in a Guard unit, and the camaraderie forged through the crucible of flying fighters. Plus, hear how Teddy founded 4th Gen Hunting Co. and how the outdoors became part of his recovery journey. This is more than a story of survival—it's a deep dive into resilience, pilot culture, and the unforgiving nature of modern air combat. 4th GenHuntingCo: https://www.4thgenhuntingco.com/

Wow. This is a special episode for all of our fellow #avgeeks (okay... all of *MY* fellow avgeeks, lol). We are joined by CDR Vincent "Jell-o" Aiello, retired US Navy F/A-18 pilot and real-life TOPGUN instructor. "Jell-o" will also be known to some of you as the host and creator of "The Fighter Pilot Podcast", one of the coolest aviation pods around. Vincent isn't a watch guy, and he doesn't pretend to be. Still, we DO talk a bit about watches and aviation timekeeping. Mainly though, we stick to stuff like cars, fly fishing, his love of a good IPA, and the changes coming to FPP. If you are into cars, watches, aviation, and DON'T listen to "The Fighter Pilot Podcast", this is your wakeup call. Thanks for listening.

Advanced systems such as the Chengdu J-20 and "double digit" SAMs like the S-400 (SA-21) are formidable foes. So how do Western forces train to oppose such threats? That is not an easy question to answer because many of our threat replicators are simply not advanced enough, and our training ranges not large enough, to "train like you fight."

Today's episode special guest is Vincent "Jell-O" Aiello. He is a former US Navy F18 and F16 fighter pilot. He is currently flying for a major airline company. He is as well the host of the Fighter Pilot Podcast.
The Lockheed F-35 Lightning II is going to be more or less what the F-16 and F-18 are today: the backbone of the US and NATO land and sea-based air forces. It is a multi-role fighter, and one of its versions has the capability to take off with a very short roll and land vertically. Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton is a test pilot who has flown all three versions of the jet. In this episode we talk about flying this fifth-gen fighter and about some aspects of the testing program. For more F-35 and Cinco check out episode 78 of the Fighter Pilot Podcast.

Today we have ex fighter pilot, and podcast host himself, Vincent Aiello!
They say "fighter pilots make movies while attack pilots make history." So, what happens when a former attack pilot writes a book—his first ever—that so accurately and engagingly captures Vietnam combat operations that it ends up on President Reagan’s desk before soaring up New York Times’ best seller charts? That’s right, they make a movie out of it. On this episode, the Fighter Pilot Podcast is honored to host world renowned author and retired U.S. Navy Reserve ( https://www.navy.com/who-we-are/about-navy-reserve ) Commander Stephen “Cooter” Coonts ( http://www.coonts.com/ ). With nearly 50 aviation-themed books to his credit—including his out-of-the-gate runaway success, Flight of the Intruder ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003E4CXOK/ref=as_li_tl?camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B003E4CXOK&ie=UTF8&linkCode=as2&linkId=f18badc7003231eb223425b7aa323bdc&tag=ftrpltpdcst18-20 ) —Mr. Coonts not only regales the listeners with how he came to be such a prolific writer but continues us along our aircraft series with a detailed explanation of the Grumman A-6 Intruder ( https://militarymachine.com/a-6-intruder/ ). At the end of the discussion Mr. Coonts offers a sneak peek into what projects he is working on next, including a diversion from his typical fictional accounts for his latest work, Dragon’s Jaw , due out May 14, 2019 and available here ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0306903474/ref=as_li_tl?camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0306903474&ie=UTF8&linkCode=as2&linkId=7d19fa0dccdfbd3645f03eb4c7e18b79&tag=ftrpltpdcst18-20 ).

Jell-O has been the most requested guest since this podcast started. Today he was kind enough to be interviewed and lived up to the hype. Jell-O spent nearly 25 years in service flying mainly the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet but also the F-16 Fighting Falcon during an adversary tour. He accrued over 3,800 flight hours and 705 carrier landings, having served as a TOPGUN instructor and air wing operations officer. Jell-O left the Navy in 2017 and now flies for a major airline. He also started the "Fighter Pilot Podcast" which explores the fascinating world of air combat.Jell-O is a great speaker with lots of stories. He has the wisdom of an experienced fighter pilot and is able to communicate it in an easy going way--a trait he shares with the first guest I interviewed, Matt "Freq" Casey. In this episode we talk about his advice to a new fighter pilot, what it feels like to land on a carrier at night, his favorite aircraft to fly, his views on leadership, and more.Make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode I've also started a monthly newsletter where I send out a few useful or insightful things that have helped me over the last month.

In the early 1960’s, the U.S. Navy ( https://www.navy.com/ ) began a program for a carrier-based attack aircraft to replace the A-4 Skyhawk ( https://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/how-the-4-skyhawk-ruled-the-skies-21967 ). Two requirements were specified to ensure a lethal platform at the lowest possible cost: accurate weapons delivery and a design based on an existing aircraft. The Ling-Temco-Vought ( http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/the-ltv-corporation-history/ ) team’s winning proposal, based on Vought’s F-8 Crusader ( https://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/the-f-8-super-crusader-the-hot-navy-fighter-almost-replaced-20405 ) , became the LTV A-7 Corsair II. On this episode, retired U.S. Navy Captain Tom “Demon” Mitchell joins us to describe the single-engine Corsair II—including the variants, armament, strengths & weaknesses, and more. You’ll be amazed at Demon’s stories, not just of the Corsair II but of the life and experiences of a career carrier aviator during the tumultuous 1960s and '70s. During the listener question segment, we discuss mishap involvement, faith, the importance of FCLPs, and how improperly dispensed expendables are handled.

Vincent Aiello (aka "Jell-O") took his first airplane flight when he was 11 years old, and was smitten. He attended UCLA, majoring in Mathematics, and then entered the Navy. He was initially assigned as a life guard while waiting for flight training, then finally started his flying. He flew the T-34, the T-2 and the TA-4 while in training. After his initial training, he flew the FA-18 at El Toro, then flew at Cecil Field. His first deployment was on the USS George Washington. He later attended TOPGUN and remained on staff as an instructor. Following 25 years of service, he retired from the Navy and, somewhat reluctantly, became n airline pilot.
