Welcome to the seventy-eighth episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit show! I'm your host Mark Hasara, retired Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, KC-135 pilot, and author of the book Tanker Pilot. In the second episode with Navy Captain Bo Smith he explains Iron Hand missions, the methods and weapons the US Navy used to destroy Surface to Air Missile or SAM sites defending North Vietnam. Bo and his VA-82 Marauders A-7C Corsair II pilots developed tactics with the A-7C's improved avionics during the LINEBACKER I and LINEBACKER II air campaigns at the close of the Vietnam War. Leaving the Marauders Bo attended school in England, and he talks of developing great relationships with our allied leaders while attending classes. This episode of the Lessons from the Cockpit show is financially supported by Wall Pilot, custom aviation art for the walls of your home, office, or hanger. The aircraft profiles are extremely detailed, the arming t-handles and stenciling on the missiles clearly readable. Famous and favorite aircraft are captured in profile illustrations, printed on vinyl you can peel off and stick to any flat surface. Wall Pilot can create custom aircraft profiles of your favorite aircraft, with your name on  the canopy rail, specific tail number, and favorite weapons load. These profiles keep the show going so visit www.wallpilot.com and order one or two Ready-to-Print or a custom profile. Bo Smith was assigned to Attack Squadron VA-15 Gold Tails flying Douglas A-4Cs off the USS Intrepid during his second 1967 Rolling Thunder Vietnam tour. This print of a  VA-15 Douglas A-4C Skyhawk is Bo's personal jet, armed with an AGM-45 Shrike anti-radiation missile which homes in on North Vietnamese radars, destroying the antenna and control van. During Bo's third Vietnam cruise he flew with VA-82 Marauders off the USS AMERICA in the new Ling-Temco-Vought A-7C Corsair II, designed with a new computer bombing system and the first attack aircraft with a Heads Up Display in the cockpit. This  VA-82 A-7C Corsair II is armed for an IRON HAND mission carrying Mk20 ROCKEYE cluster bombs and the AGM-45 Shrike anti-radiation missile. The Marauders were chosen for the famous Than Hoa Railway Bridge strike on 6 October 1972 carrying AGM-62 Walleye tv guided bombs. Walleyes launched by LCDR Leighton "Snuffy" Smith and his wingman Ltjg Marv Baldwin destroyed the center pillar supporting the Than Hoa bridge, causing the center span to collapse. LCDR Leighton Smith retired as a four star Admiral and commander of all Naval Forces in Europe. Assigned an exchange tour with the US Air Force, Bo traveled to McConnell AFB as an instructor pilot in the Republic F-105 Thunderchief, training new aircrews how to fly the Thud. Although Bo did not fly the Wild Weasel mission, the counterpart to the Navy's IRON HAND role, this F-105G Wild Weasel was assigned to the 333rd Tac Fighter Squadron flying out of Takhli Royal Thai Air Base. This Thud shot down three North Vietnamese Air Force MiG-17s during the Rolling Thunder air campaign.  The A-7 Corsair II ended its combat career flying IRON HAND missions over Iraq in the 1991 Desert Storm air campaign. This VA-72 Blue Hawks A-7E is armed with the best anti-radiation missile made, the Texas Instrument AGM-88 High Speed Anti Radiation Missile or HARM. Want a great place to learn about Navy attack aviation? Bo created in my opinion the best electronic memoirs of his experiences on the web. His great website can be found at Bo Smith. He has terrific pictures and even some of the maps showing the air defenses around the Hanoi and Haiphong areas.  Thanks for downloading and listening to this episodes of the Lessons from the Cockpit show.

一個由17,000名美國、澳大利亞、新西蘭、日本、韓國、和英國軍隊組成的聯合特遣部隊於7月14日週三開始在澳大利亞開始了兩年一次的護身符軍刀演習（Talisman Sabre 2021）。 演習從7月14日開始，一直持續到7月31日。期間，中共的一艘監視船向南航行，以監視作為“護身符軍刀”的一部分進行的演習。據報導，澳大利亞軍方正在監視這艘駛向澳大利亞海岸的偵察船。那些是中國派來的。 除美國外，來自加拿大、日本、新西蘭、韓國和英國的部隊將參加此次軍演，來自印度、印度尼西亞、法國和德國的駐澳大利亞人員將觀摩演習。 特遣部隊指揮官澳大利亞陸軍少將傑克．埃爾伍德少將（Australian Army Maj. Gen. Jake Ellwood）在一份聲明中說，參與者包括來自美國號航空母艦（USS America）的美國遠征打擊群、駐紮在日本佐世保海軍基地的兩棲攻擊艦，以及70架固定翼飛機和50架直升機。 實彈訓練計劃是在昆士蘭州的肖爾沃特灣進行，但參與者將遠至北領地的達爾文和新南威爾士州的埃文斯角。 週五，愛國者導彈防禦系統將從淺灘灣向一對無人機目標開火。“這是愛國者第一次從澳大利亞海岸開火，”埃爾伍德說。 據美國陸軍上校傑里霍爾說，愛國者號是由第38防空砲兵旅的部隊從日本相模將軍倉庫向南運送的。據知，將導彈防禦系統部署到澳大利亞的提議是在2009年提出的。 霍爾說，演習的一個關鍵部分，是讓美國和澳大利亞軍隊與愛國者號合作。美國陸軍與空軍密切協調該系統的使用，以整合空中和導彈防禦。 退休少將澳大利亞參議員吉姆·莫蘭5月3日在《澳大利亞人報》上寫道，他的國家“極有可能”在中美之間發生任何衝突時遭受導彈襲擊。 他寫道：“許多普通澳大利亞人，不僅僅是那些親身經歷過全球衝突的人，正在意識到一個嚴峻的現實，即我們地區很有可能發生戰爭。” 埃爾伍德說，護身符軍刀還將涉及太空、網絡、陸地、空中和海上行動。 他補充說，美國、澳大利亞、英國和日本軍隊將在澳大利亞的兩棲艦艇堪培拉號上協同作戰。 日本軍隊包括新成立的兩棲快速部署旅，這是一支模仿美國海軍陸戰隊的部隊，負責保衛外島。該部隊於2019年參與出兵護符軍刀。 埃爾伍德說，澳大利亞近年來發展了兩棲部隊。 “我們有能力進行重要的兩棲作戰，”他說，並指出堪培拉號和澳大利亞的另一艘兩棲艦艇阿德萊德號，有能力在2019年的演習期間進行同步作戰。 霍爾說，美國遠征打擊群的大約5,000名成員在訓練期間不會上岸，但其他大約2,000名美軍剛剛結束兩週的隔離。 他說，在冠狀病毒大流行期間向澳大利亞派遣數千名士兵是一項額外的挑戰，這是將其與增加另一個作戰領域（南中國海）進行比較。 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/aloha808/message

China's state-controlled media has bluntly warned Australia's warships to stay out of the South China Sea or risk the “bitter pill” of confrontation.In an ominous threat to Prime Minister Scott Morrison, China is doubling down after the furore over a shocking doctored image depicting a grinning Australian soldier slitting the throat of an Afghan child.In an editorial published overnight inThe Global Times, Australia is described as “the war hound” of the United States.“As a warhound of the US, Australia should restrain its arrogance. Particularly, its warships must not come to China's coastal areas to flex muscles, or else it will swallow the bitter pills,'' the editorial states.“Australian special forces murdered 39 Afghan civilians and prisoners. Killing innocent people is trampling on human rights no matter what. But Canberra has the nerve to put itself on the moral high ground of human rights. How arrogant and shameless the Morrison government is!”China maintains a maritime militia in the South China Sea - officially called the People's Armed Forces Maritime Militia (PAFMM) that plays a key role in Beijing's strategy to enforce its disputed sovereignty claims.Asia Institute fellow Rowan Callick told news.com.au that the Global Times editorial was a clear reference to the South China Sea.“Australia has refused to do these freedom of navigation protocols. It's a warning that if we change our strategy and participate in these freedom of navigation cruises something may or may not happen,'' he said.Beijing's foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian posted a falsified image of an Australian soldier slitting the throat of a child and said China condemned the murder of Afghan civilians.Source:SuppliedHMAS Parramatta conducts manoeuvres with amphibious assault ship USS America, guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill and guided-missile destroyer USS Barry in the South China Sea. Picture: Department of DefenceSource:Supplied“I don't think the Global Times is the vehicle to place highly strategic messages. It's one to place general sentiment. If People's Daily was to editorialise on this, that Australia's ships should watch out, that would be more disturbing. This is disturbing enough.”Former Labor MP Michael Danby said the editorial represented a clear warning and follows recent activity involving HMAS Ballarat.“That's a threat. HMAS Ballarat was in the South China Sea recently with the US taskforce,'' Mr Danby said.“That's very ominous. It's suggesting there might be an incident.”According to the US Navy, the HMAS Ballarat conducted drills, integrated tactical training, and warfighting scenarios and a combined transit to the Andaman Sea through the Strait of Malacca in late October.“We find tremendous value in sailing alongside our close allies of Australia, as well as our other allies and partners, in support of a free, open, secure, and prosperous Indo-Pacific Region,” Commander Ryan T. Easterday said.Commanding Officer of Ballarat, Commander Antony Pisani was also quoted as praising the chance to “hone our warfare and mariner skills and develop our ability to operate and communicate together”.HMAS Ballarat conducted drills in the South China Sea recently.Source:SuppliedIn July, Australian warships sailing near the disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea were confronted by the Chinese navy.It was reported at the time the HMAS Canberra, HMAS Hobart, HMAS Stuart, HMAS Arunta and HMAS Sirius all remained outside 12 nautical miles of the contested islands, unlike recent so-called “freedom of navigation” exercises conducted by the US navy to challenge Beijing.The previous year, Australian navy helicopter pilots were hit by lasers during exercises, forcing them to land as a precaution.Firing a fresh broadside at Australia, the Global Times editorial also threatens trade ties, noting Australia is considering taking complaints toward China's trade imposition to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).Will y...

The latest episode of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Legends Podcast is with 2017 Outstanding American Dom Gorie. Beginning his wrestling career in junior high school, Dominic (Pudwill) Gorie always set his sights high. As a wrestler at Palmetto High School in Miami, he forged a standout career record of 41-9-1. He received an appointment to the United States Naval Academy in 1975 and wrestled four years for legendary coach Ed Peery, who was inducted as Distinguished Member of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1980.

Sapphire Pavilion by Dave Grogan Previously a Navy Judge Advocate, Dave Grogan has had his fair share of court-martial cases for which he prosecuted and defended. He’d gone to many places and shook hands with people from all walks of life. Now, he weaves history, international intrigue, and military experiences into the Steve Stillwell legal thriller series published by Camel Press. The Cohen Veterans Network, a not-for-profit philanthropic organization, was created to serve them by providing high-quality, accessible, and integrated mental health care. “I got to do stuff that other attorneys can only dream about doing.” - Dave Grogan Dave Grogan - The Beginnings of a JAG Journey He was a CPA and on his second year in law school, bound for the corporate track, when Dave ran into a Navy student in a party. He remembers being regaled by stories of deployment in the Mediterranean as part of USS America, something that Dave has always wanted to do.   “I never thought you could be a lawyer and a naval officer at the same time.” - Dave Grogan   He changed courses and switched his background to apply to the Navy. His initial goal was to serve for three years, get back out, and go to corporate law. At the back of his head, he knew he’d continue his service as long as he enjoyed it, and enjoy it he did.   Dave got assigned to the naval base in Yokosuka, Japan, prosecuting and defending court-martials. He went back to the US and interviewed for companies. But he never cashed in on his initial plans. Gusto. It's time to tame the chaos of payroll, benefits, and HR. Committing to the Navy During those days when he went back to the US, Dave remembers talking to his wife while he looked over Tokyo Bay. It was at that moment of being away from home and being treated with a cosmic view of where he stood in life that Dave decided to shelve the original game plan.   “I thought, ‘Why in the world would I get out and go back and sit in an office back in the States?’” - Dave Grogan   With his decision to stay in the army, he got deployed to Cuba and the Persian Gulf. He got sent back to the US to get a Master’s degree on international law, which opened a myriad of opportunities for his career. His exposure as the adviser of commanders, both on national and international level, contributed to a lot of the ideas that inspired his writing Sapphire Pavilion.   JAG Turned Writer While he was on his last tour as part of the Pentagon, the idea for his second book occurred to Dave. Every Friday night when he would drive back home from work, he listened to a podcast on veterans.   “I remember listening to some stories, in particular about the Vietnam war and some Vietnam veterans... and I came up with the idea of writing a story that would attempt to honor Vietnam veterans and also wounded warriors.” - Dave Grogan   Don’t forget to leave us a 5-star rating and review if you enjoyed the show.
