Stunning to listen to her experience. I remember standing 2 meters in front of an A10 in the early 80s at an airshow in Sion. I was 13 years old and absolutely a fan of the SR71 and the F16, but that cannon left me speechless. Cheers from Switzerland 🇨🇭
A very good interview with ( KC ) Kim Campbell, I have watched an earlier podcast a couple of years ago and have her book which I have read twice to take in all the details. She was a brave and courageous pilot and as she said in her book going through that early in her career set a mark of what she could do when things get tough and helped her continue a very rewarding career and retire feeling she had achieved more than she ever could have imagined.
Great video! For the astronaut career a relevant science degree probably would have been more helpful. Aren't the A10 planes by now so old and have so many flight hours that they approach the end of the lifetime of the airframes?

So glad you enjoyed the book!
A fascinating interview. Bought the book and look forward to what Kim has to say about her military and leadership challenges.
I hope you are enjoying the book!

👍 KIM "KC" CAMPBELL 👍
They were pretty much gone by the time you started flying but I'm gonna guess you'd have been a hell of an A-6 pilot.
