Mike “Flash” McVay welcomes a seasoned fighter pilot and Wild Weasel veteran to break down the evolution of the Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses mission in the Viper community. From crafting airplanes out of bobby pins as a toddler to executing real-world SEAD missions over Baghdad, this guest's career spans decades of pivotal moments in combat aviation. Listeners will hear how a single incentive flight in an F-16 transformed a lifelong dream of flying Eagles into a passion for the Viper's multi-role capabilities.The guest shares his formative years at Nellis as a maintenance officer during the transition from F-4G to F-16CJ in the Weasel role, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at how the mission set developed. He discusses deployments supporting Operations Northern Watch and Southern Watch, including a gripping account of being in Turkey when 9/11 occurred and the following political complications. As the conversation shifts to Operation Iraqi Freedom, he recalls leading night SEAD sorties over Baghdad, vividly describing the chaos, coordination, and execution of real-time missions under fire.
USAF Master Sergeant saw a UFO land on Nellis AFB and met its Alien Pilot
Exopolitics Today Week in Review with Dr Michael Salla – Feb 1, 2025 Topics: Distinguishing between friend and foe is critical when it comes to NHI. Another fascinating teleportation/bilocation experience by Jean Charles Moyen to an ancient space ark hidden in Sedona, Arizona. Jake Barber's eyewitness testimony and supporting evidence is accelerating the disclosure process for the new administration Trump administration has reached out to learn more about whistleblower claims of a UFO crash retrieval program involving NHI. Recruited as SSP Cyborg Supersoldier: Interview with Rebecca Rose Kerry Cassidy raises important points regarding Project Stargate, AI and Secret Space Programs. Soul-scalping technologies is one of the aspects of disclosure that is going to be most difficult to accept by the general public as it challenges mainstream religion Artificial Intelligence does pose a possible existential threat to humanity however, not all AI is an existential threat as it is used by some positive ET races & SSPs Elon reference in Werner Von Braun book on Mars Comparison between egg-shaped UFO Jake Barber transported with the egg-craft JP went on in 2016, and Elena's Danaan's memories of an egg-shaped craft during the Atlantean era. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt says the drones seen flying over New Jersey were authorized to fly by the FAA and were “not the enemy.” Excellent compilation of videos, photos and witness testimonies of a UFO flyover in Denver on Sept 27, 2024. Official White House explanation for mystery drones is full of holes as Jake Barber asserts from firsthand experience - someone is lying to President Trump. US military has Antigravity Spacecraft with an Organic Consciousness that pairs with Pilots President Dwight Eisenhower's role in the extraterrestrial coverup has been much maligned. USAF Master Sergeant saw a UFO land on Nellis AFB and met its Alien Pilot: Interview with Jason Sands Jake Barber describes his eyewitness experiences as USAF helicopter pilot involved in UFO crash retrieval operations and egg-shaped UFOs.

Jason Sands served for 22 years with the US Air Force and attained a final rank as Master Sergeant. Midway through his military service he was recruited into a UFO-related program while stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, which adjoins Area 51 or Dreamland. He learned about a UFO crash retrieval program and that biological material from Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) had been recovered. In 1984, Sands and four other soldiers witnessed a UFO land at Nellis and an NHI emerging who asked for help. During his Exopolitics Today interview, Sands was able to confirm key aspects of the testimony of Charles Hall about NHI living in remote areas of Nellis due to secret agreements reached with USAF leaders. He also corroborated claims of two secret UFO research facilities at Area 51 called S-4 and S-2. Sands appeared in the recently released UFO-related documentary, The Program, created by filmmaker James Fox.

EPISODE 114 | All Your Base Are Belong to Us – US Military Installations The United States spends more on their military than the next nine countries combined. With around 450 bases (or maybe 500 or maybe 750 or maybe 800 or even more) operating more than 111,000 installations in 80 or more countries, there's a lot to keep track of. In fact, no one is really sure how accurate those numbers are, since a lot of places are deemed classified or even top secret, and yes, cover stories have sometimes been deployed. Some of the things we do know about are pretty interesting and often sad or infuriating, depending on your outlook. And yet that's not enough for some folks, who feel the need to fill in the gaps with long, complicated conspiracy narratives that are better suited to novels than anywhere else. Like what we do?

Retired U.S. Air Force Gen. John P. Jumper delivered a keynote speech during the 75th U.S. Air Force Weapons School 75th Anniversary dinner, May 18, 2024. The Weapons School traces its roots to the Aircraft Gunnery School established in 1949 at Las Vegas Air Force Base, which later became Nellis AFB in 1950. This organization brought together a cadre of World War II combat veterans dedicated to teaching the next generation of pilots.
Episode Summary: In Episode 161 of the Aerospace Advantage podcast “There I was!”: Real Life Stories from the Cockpit with the Mitchell Institute Part II, our team members recount some of their most memorable experiences flying and fighting. You normally hear us talking about policy and budget issues, but over the holiday season, we decided it was time to kick back and reflect upon the high adventures of past years. This week, we hear from Gen Kevin “Chili” Chilton, USAF (Ret.) as he explains the first and only time he blacked out at the controls of an aircraft; Maj Gen Larry “Stutz” Stutzriem, USAF (Ret.) talks about a similar terrifying moment in flight training and follows that story with a spectacular engine fire in the F-16; Air Force Fellow Lt Col Gary “Plugger” Glojek remembers a time when he wrestled with the unexpected while leading a six-ship of A-10s; Heather “Lucky” Penney shares what it was like to fly a B-17; and John "Slick" Baum describes how a fighter pilot's mission can go from easy to crazy on takeoff with a full load of live ordnance at Nellis AFB.

Welcome to the fifty-sixth episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast! I really appreciate all of you tuning in and downloading this and previous episodes of the show. One of the great memories of my KC-135 career was flying at low altitude with a receiver behind us. My first introduction to the planning and execution of low-altitude refueling was at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa. All of our 909th Air Refueling Squadron tanker crews were certified to do this technique and procedure. This episode discusses the whys and hows of low-altitude air refueling with examples from training and actual combat. The lowest we'd go in the KC-135 is 3000 feet above the terrain, typically refueling the A-10 at 9000 to 10,000 feet. One international Air Force established the record for the lowest altitude refueling on an operational mission in one of the most daring and successful air strikes in the history of aerial warfare! The Lessons from the Cockpit podcast is financed by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. These are very detailed profiles of aircraft printed on vinyl you can peel off and stick to any flat surface. One hundred twenty-seven Ready-to-Print profiles are available in four, six, and eight-foot-long prints. If there is a favorite aircraft you'd like to have your name, unit, tail codes, and weapons load, we can create a custom print for you too. The form is on the website. A 909th Air Refueling Squadron KC-135 R Model print is available in the Ready-to-Print section here. The KC-10 has also done low-altitude air refueling. A print of a Travis AFB KC-10 from the 60th Air Mobility Wing is available in the Ready-to-Print section here. An F-4E of the 3rd TFS based at Clark Air Base in The Philippines which flew missions during Operation Desert Storm from Incirlik Air Base Turkey and participated in the 1989 GUNSMOKE bombing and gunnery competition at Nellis AFB can be purchased here. Thanks for downloading this and previous episodes of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast, found on my website at markhasara.com. We look forward to talking with you next week!

Welcome to the thirty-eighth episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast! Military men and women are often sworn to secrecy. Captain Royce Williams was told never to tell anyone about his November 1952. Most air engagements last less than 60 seconds. Royce fought for 35 minutes with seven RUSSSIAN MiG-15 fighter jets over North Korea. He shot down four of the MiG-15s, landing on the USS Oriskany in a snow storm with 263 holes in his F9F Panther fighter jet. Fifty years later a Russian historian wrote about the air battle. Many are now trying to push for Royce to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. The problem is the US government will not release the evidence! Here are two links to Royce being interviewed about his air battle over North Korea. A great two-part article was written about Royce and the November 1952 air battle on the Remembered Sky website These two videos put listeners in the cockpit of US fighter jets over North Korea battling MiG-15s over the Yalu River as Royce describes in this episode.

Welcome to the thirty-eighth episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit podcast! Military men and women are often sworn to secrecy. Captain Royce Williams was told never to tell anyone about his November 1952. Most air engagements last less than 60 seconds. Royce fought for 35 minutes with seven RUSSSIAN MiG-15 fighter jets over North Korea. He shot down four of the MiG-15s, landing on the USS Oriskany in a snow storm with 263 holes in his F9F Panther fighter jet. Fifty years later a Russian historian wrote about the air battle. Many are now trying to push for Royce to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. The problem is the US government will not release the evidence! Here are two links to Royce being interviewed about his air battle over North Korea. A great two-part article was written about Royce and the November 1952 air battle on the Remembered Sky website These two videos put listeners in the cockpit of US fighter jets over North Korea battling MiG-15s over the Yalu River as Royce describes in this episode.

“The association of old crows is a world premiere organization for professionals engaged in the sciences of information and electronic warfare” (https://www.crows.org/members/group_content_view.asp?group=205204&id=706707). Today we're going to talk to an old crew who is also a leader, who is a warrior and has the mindset that I hope a lot of people will pick up. We talk about his leadership priorities, the challenges of mentoring, and how he “thinks in bets”. I think everyone will connect with his philosophy that “destruction breeds creation”. Mule is the Commander of the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing and previously, he commanded the 609th Air and Space Operations Center, the 55th Operations Support Squadron, and twice commanded the 43 Expeditionary Electronic Combat Squadron supporting Central Command combat operations. If you lost track, that is three combat commands for this Crow. Colonel Koslov received his commission from Officer Training School after graduating from San Francisco State University. In 2004, he was a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Air Force Weapons School and was assigned to Nellis AFB as an instructor at the Weapons School. In 2010, he was selected for the legislative fellowship education program in the office of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. I hope you all enjoy the conversation we have with Colonel Mule Koslov, a great friend, and a great leader. Thank you for listening…lead ‘em well.

The Crosswinds Dining facility has opened following its completion of renovations at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, March 4th, 2022. Nellis Air Force Base is the 27th Air Force base to transition to the Food 2.0 Program.
Leadership has many attributes associated with it, such as perseverance, vision, inspiration, motivation, and service, to name a few. A leader is there to serve, and my uncle Dean was a great leader who served his country. Retired Colonel Dean Danos passed away on January 27, 2022, after a valiant and brave battle with pancreatic cancer. He served in the Vietnam war, where he flew over 300 combat missions in the AC-47 Gunship, known as Spooky. After serving in Vietnam, he was stationed in the Panama Canal Zone. He flew A-37s to support the Peruvian Earthquake Relief Effort and assumed command of Joint Command Post personnel. After that assignment, he was stationed at Craig Air Force Base in Selma, AL as a T-38 instructor pilot and flight commander. His next assignment was in Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, where he was assigned to the Aggressors, a squadron that flew McDonnell F-15 Eagle fighter jets. His next assignment was in Vicenza, Italy, where he brought Penny and his four children – Stephanie, John, Athena, and Katherine. Uncle Dean led the 5th ATAF's crisis action support during this tour in support of Desert Shield/Storm. Uncle Dean was pinned a Colonel on December 1, 1989. Uncle Dean and the family returned to the U.S. in August 1991 to Randolph Airforce Base in San Antonio. Dean held several roles at Randolph, including base commander, before retiring in 1997. When I published my first book in 2015, Improv is No Joke: Using Improvisation to Create Positive Results in Leadership and Life, I sent him a copy. He read it and enjoyed it. However, he felt that I left out one chapter in the book that should be there: a chapter on Ethics. His comment got us discussing the ethics issue, particularly the responsibility of educating and training our workforce. Uncle Dean believed that it was the employer's responsibility to train the employees, no matter how long they stayed, because they needed the knowledge to be better stewards of their communities and country. During his retirement from the Air Force, Uncle Dean did become an executive director for a non-profit association for a few years. While playing golf with him at Randolph Air Force Base, it was the first time that I looked at him without any intimidation and saw him as the person he was – a loving man to his family, country, and God. I would be remiss if I didn't say that he was an outstanding public speaker who commanded and engaged an audience. We did talk a lot about the speaking business, and I did share some of my speaking videos with him, and he provided excellent feedback. I WAS DEVASTED when I received the news that he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. He was a man that meant a lot to me and my life. Uncle Dean was a great leader, and may his memory be eternal.

Today's Story: Networking for F-35s
Niara Terela Isley served in the US Air Force from 1979 to 1983 and specialized in the newly developed "autotrack radar" designed to lock on to and track surface-to-air missiles and anti-aircraft artillery using precision LASER technology. After completing her training, she was stationed in 1980, at Nellis Air Force Base, from which she assigned on a rotational weekly basis to Tonopah Test Range in Nevada over a three month period. At Tonopah she was asked to attempt to track advanced aerospace vehicles including up to ten flying saucers with the cutting edge autotrack radar. After completing the task she was assigned by superiors—where the autotrack radar was unable to lock onto the flying saucer craft— she was taken to the Area 51/S-4 facility where she was subjected to trauma based mind control that involved her memories being wiped. Later she remembered that she was used as slave labor in a highly classified program that involved Gray and Reptilian extraterrestrials. During this 3 month period, she later recalled being taken to the Moon where she and others were used as slave labor. Niara also has memories of having served on Mars in a 20 and back program. Her abuse only ended when it was recognized by one of the extraterrestrials that she was affiliated (a starseed) with a human looking group of extraterrestrials that the USAF wanted to have positive relations with. Niara has documents and photos proving her service with the USAF and her being stationed at Nellis AFB from which her trips to Tonopah AFB took place. Niara Terela Isley's book, Facing the Shadow, Embracing the Light is available at: https://tinyurl.com/4nah6rfc Her Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/Niara-Terela...

On this the eighth episode of Lessons From the Cockpit: The US Air Force has its version of TOPGUN, training the best of the best from 18 different weapons, intelligence, command and control, Special Operations, rescue, and intercontinental ballistic missile forces. It's called the US Air Force Weapons School, based at Nellis Air Force Base in North Las Vegas. During one large force night training event, things did NOT go well for the students. One mistake snowballed into the loss of numerous aircraft. If this had been the opening night of a real Shock and Awe campaign, eleven airmen would not be coming home. The students who flunked this training event took ownership of their mistakes, learned from them, and were better prepared when they crushed their simulated adversaries the following night.

Born and raised in New York City and for some crazy reason was drawn to the military from an early age, specifically the Marine Corps. Despite a few set backs, after a few tries, I was accepted to Marine Corps OCS. He was commissioned a 2Lt in the USMC in May 1984 after graduating from college. Upon completion of The Basic School at Quantico, VLuckily the Navy was short pilots and they gave about 150 Marine officers an opportunity to interservice transfer to the Navy. He graduated Navy flight school in August of 1986 and was awarded wings a Naval Aviator. He was assigned as an CH53E pilot at Naval air station Cubi Point in the Philippines and Naval Air Stataion Norfolk, VA. He left active duty in 1991 to try the corporate world. While in the civilian sector, He continued to fly in both the Army and Air National Guard prior to returning to active duty in September 1998. He spent the next 14 years in the Air Force serving at Nellis AFB and Moody AFB as an HH-60 Combat Rrescue helicopter pilot. He did six combat deployments to both Afghanistan and Iraq. He Retired from the Air Force as a Major in Jan 2011. Since retirement he has been involved with veteran suicide prevention after losing several good friends to this curse.

Back from a week off... started this week in Germany, where a Somali immigrant killed three females in a knife attack. Then it was the Chinese martial arts school fire, the Florida building collapse, the old man caught defacating/masturbating in a park baseball dugout, General Milley defending military wokeness, the Nellis AFB drag queen show, and a guy in Colorado watching a live stream of his surveillance camera as a dude banged his horse.

Episode #13 is the new Command Chief of Kunsan Air Base, Wolf Chief #24, CMSgt Thomas Schaefer. Chief Schaefer recently arrived to Kunsan Air Base from Nellis AFB. Chief prioritizes developing Airmen and this line of effort provided me with an opportunity to speak to him yesterday to discuss the Airpower Leadership Academy. At the end of the meeting, I told him I leave Korea in a week and if he has time for a podcast, I would love to host him. He checked his calendar and said, “what about tomorrow?” Today I ask why he joined the Air Force after graduating with a Criminal Sociology degree from the University of Arizona and I ask what he did for almost two years prior to enlisting. He shares a moment from 23 years ago when he was about 23-years old. His manager offered him a promotion at the grocery store he was working at. Instead of accepting the manager's offer, he decided right then, in that moment, that he wanted to join the military and resigned. He talks about his four kids and the support his wife, CMSgt Diane Schaefer gave him when he was offered this position as a Command Chief. This is his second assignment with Kunsan's current Wing Commander, Colonel John Gallemore. We talk about what makes a good team and working relationship. I ask him what things, if any would he change within the Air Force and he had some really good suggestions that I could get behind. Towards the end we talk about his top mentors throughout his career. He lists people off and we make an observation as to what all four of his mentors have in common.

Cesar “Rico” Rodriguez is an Air Force Colonel (ret.) and former fighter pilot in an elite group among veterans: he is one of three pilots with three air-to-air shootdowns since Vietnam. His dog fights and experiences from the cockpit of an F-15C Eagle taking down MiGs in both Desert Storm and Kosovo provide a first-hand account of just how challenging aerial combat can be. In this Combat Story, Rico describes his journey from a kid in Puerto Rico to the Citadel to the Air Force and, finally, to his current life at Raytheon continuing to help the Air Force win the next air war. 2:11 - Where the call sign “Rico” came from. Unsurprisingly, it was coined at a bar. 6:35 - A description of F-15C aircraft tail number 114, an image behind Rico in the interview that you can see on the YouTube interview. Rico flew this aircraft for his first two shootdowns. 10:05 - Rico's father - an Army Air Defense Officer - also had a desire to fly but Rico's journey to fly had a different origin. 16:50 - Flying certain aircraft and profiles felt more like a team sport than others where you had to work as a team. 21:48 - Rico's first aircraft was the A-10 but he then worked his way back to flying the F-15. 23:13 - Being part of a small group (Latinos Unidos) from Puerto Rico as an Air Force pilot and cadet at The Citadel. 25:15 - What was it like to be a fighter pilot in the Cold War? 31:14 - A description of Red Flag intense and real-world training scenarios as Nellis AFB. 33:55 - “Master arm hot” means all weapons are hot and raises the intensity factor. 34:23 - Transition from A-10 to F-15 personally and within the Air Force fighter community. 40:38 - The experience being part of the Panama Campaign in 1989 and it was the first time to have live weapons and open an Air Tasking Order. 49:14 - First hostile contact and shootdown on January 16th with Craig “Mole” Underhill southwest of Baghdad. 53:18 - Description of a Split-S maneuver. 1:02:00 - A classic “two circle fight” and the red baron's description of a two vs one circle fight. 1:04:58 - The only course of action is to defeat the missile when it's coming at you. 1:10:18 - A story of how lessons learned authored by those who fought it can change as it goes up the chain of command. 1:14:30 - The lethality of the AMRAAM missile and how it revolutionized fighting. 1:17:57 - First kill of the Kosovo War was at night and at long range and a lesson learned to not look at the missile coming off the rail when at night. 1:21:31 - Rico's last flight teaming up in training with the youngest pilot in the Squadron going up against four Gen 4 fighters. 1:24:00 - Flying with a flag and a coin. 1:25:00 - Would you do it again and the next generation of fighter pilots?
On this edition of “A Space Pro”, I interview Col Mike “Sax” Mathes, USAF retired, who recently ran the 414th combat training squadron at Nellis AFB, NV. The 414this responsible for planning and executing RED FLAG exercises designed to allow aircrews the opportunity to fight through their first 10 combat sorties. The intent was to allow tactical experts the opportunity to meet the most difficult threat before engaging on a live battlespace in support of a combatant commanders objectives. We discuss everything from warfighting culture to a prescription to the Space Force on advanced training opportunities.

On February 5, 1981, Robert Redford and Barbara Levoy were driving from California to Nevada to go to Robert’s first duty station, Nellis AFB. Along the way, their car broke down and a trucker stopped to give them a ride. Later, Robert was found dead on the side of the road, and for two years, Barbara was listed as a missing person. Investigators would get a lead in the case a few years later when a jailhouse snitch told them someone confessed to him. The confession came from a man named Ward Weaver Jr. who was sitting in jail, sentenced to 38 years for false imprisonment, rape, and other offenses and he had something to say. Dig in with Margot as she walks you through the first two branches in the Weaver family tree. Be sure to subscribe to Wife of Crime Podcast to listen to Part 2, which will be released on April 15, 2020. Wife of Crime will discuss the next two branches in the Weaver family tree. This case will make you believe there is actually a killer gene. -----Check out Military Murder podcast merch here. Sign up for the True Crime Army Bulletin (a.k.a. newsletter).

Linda Mitchell served in the Air Force for 10 years beginning her service in June of 1995. She served on active duty and had assignments at the Pentagon on September 11th, was on watch when the space shuttle disintegrated reentering the earth’s atmosphere, she helped serve 42 heads of state during the NATO 50th Anniversary Summit in DC and she also had severe preeclampsia with her first child that she gave birth to while her husband was deployed to Afghanistan. These are just a few of the highlights from her career. Linda’s father served in the military and inspired her to join. She grew up as a military brat and got to see the world through her father’s career. While going to college she decided to join the Reserve Officer Training Corps Program so she could see the world. Her first assignment was at Edwards AFB where she was a section commander and then an executive officer for the Mission Support Group. While at Edwards she found out her career field was going away and would need to be retrained. She ended up becoming a Comm officer. She had a follow-on assignment to Nellis AFB, but had gotten married and had was able to get a join spouse assignment with her new husband at Maxwell AFB. This was the first time she had to put her career in the back seat for their relationship and ultimately led to her getting out of the military earlier than she planned. After Maxwell she went to Bolling AFB and then to the Pentagon. She was at the Pentagon on September 11th. At the time of the attack they didn’t have a communication system to execute a mass evacuation and it was interesting to hear how people found out about the crash and how there was no clear plan to get people out of the building. September 11th had a huge impact on how Linda’s career moved forward. She was supposed to complete a program and it never happened. Her next assignment led to the end of her career. She had been warned about her next supervisor, but had an optimistic attitude that it would be okay and they would be able to work together, but in the end it led to the end of her military career.

Ex RAF pilot Ken Norman tells us about his time flying the English Electric Canberra and the Blackburn Buccaneer. He includes stories about training, squadrons and flying the Buccaneer at Red Flag at Nellis AFB.
On the second day of my visit to Nellis AFB we covered the Red Flag, an advanced aerial combat training exercise hosted at multiple times per year at Nellis. We started out with a general overview with Jan Stahl; we also covered the role of the aggressors. I then talked with John Traylor who works as a ground intercept controller for the aggressors. Next is a conversation with Graham Johnson about Red Flag from the perspective of a blue force participant; he flies an F-15C out of Lakenheath. We conclude the episode with a look at the historical context that lead to Red Flag, again with Jan.
As part of my US trip 2017 I visited Nellis AFB, where LtCol Jan Stahl flies the F-16 for the 64th Aggressor Squadron. We spent a day around, in and under the F-16. The episode contains five parts. A brief introduction to the F-16 and its development, a discussion about flying it, a walkaround, a look at all the knobs, switches and displays in the cockpit as well as a detailed discussion on the HOTAS system that forms the backbone of the pilot's interaction with the avionics.
When you're active in the Veteran community, you tend to hear names repeated in conversation and mentioned on social media. Recently, one of those names is Skye Marshall. I saw Skye in Got Your 6's #shesbadass campaign and knew she'd make a great feature on the podcast. Skye talks with us about serving in the Air Force, following her dreams to Hollywood, working with Al Pacino, and more. About Skye: At the age of 19, Skye enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and was stationed at Nellis AFB, Las Vegas, NV.

Skye made her national movie theater debut Spring 2003. Although the film offered her many opportunities to fulfill her ultimate dream of being a full-time actress, Skye was determined to finish her goal of earning a college degree. Skye graduated with honors in May 2007 earning a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, Media & Theatre (CMT Program) from Northeastern IL University. Following her graduation, Skye moved to New York City. While working corporate during the day, in the evenings she attended acting training at Stella Adler Studio along with dance classes at The Broadway Dance Center to fine tune her skills and better prepare herself for the big move from NYC to LA October 2009.
