It was my privilege to learn Eagle tactics, and many other life lessons, under mobile’s tutelage, in the 7th TFS. He was a gifted and selfless leader then, as he was throughout his career. His accomplishments are inspiring. Thank you Mobile.
Very smart General. I wish my son has the same qualities as him as he is planning to stay long to serve. He currently assigned as maintenance officer and an LSO in the Navy in addition to flying the F18 Super Hornet.
Mobile Holmes. I like that. I wish fighter pilots would explain how they got their call signs. My favorite is slag. He got the name because on his first catapult launch he "screamed like a girl." Kudos to whoever came up with that
I remember this guy’s Tennessee accent as my Wing CC in Afghanistan in 2008…”Start right, finish strong” he said in our right start brief. I was an A-10 MX dude from the 303rd EFS.
Excellent interview. Gen. Holmes’ advice can be applied to all careers and is very helpful. It is very motivational

This is such a great thing you are doing Rain…interviewing these pilots..documenting aviation history really..
Thanks, glad you enjoy it. That’s definitely one of the goals. Otherwise these stories fade away.
Well done, Rain. Love your content. Mobile was fantastic to work for at Kadena and EVERYONE loves Sara!

That's not exactly a bad job. You must be some kind of hard ass.

He does which is not an easy thing to get out of fighter pilots.
Wow someone wearing Tenn Orange that I actually liked!
😂
How tall do you actually have to be to fly in the airforce?
Another strike eagle guy? Is this your way of trying to win back the dark gray fan base? :)
Haha, there's no going back.

Did he really have trouble getting in with 20/25 vision in one eye? Is that just because it was a long time ago and they relaxed the requirements?
Wasn’t until recently they allowed for PRK and Lasik. Used to be a lot tougher.
😢😢😢Peace in middleeast and detroit😢😢😢
Is this video in the correct aspect ratio? It looks stretched out. Must be the lense.
@Rain- I hear pilots says Fape all the time.What does that mean?
FAIP. First Assignment Instructor Pilot. Guys and gals that stay after pilot training to teach for an assignment.
