As Indonesian, I remember the Sumatera Tsunami and watching footage of US Navy helos flying in and out helping people. Talked to one of the Indonesian Helo, and he was amazed how US Navy aviator flew in and out during the effort. Happy to finally hear from the one of aviator who flew there. Great episode and theme Jell-O.. thank you.
And thank you Sugar Bear for the help!!

Thanks, Bethany, I wish everyone else thought so.

Jello, yet another great episode! As much as we need our military to be really good at breaking things, the ability of our military to help people in ways not possible on the civilian side is at least as powerful on the world stage.

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

For sure, Mike. Thanks.

[@RamadiTaxiDriver60M]

Thanks for bringing in more Helo guys and showing us some love!

@@FighterPilotPodcast speaking of weapons of war used for humanitarian/disaster support: the Space Shuttle Columbia wreckage was first located by Florida National Guard Apaches using their FLIR system.

This is great! I was cooking a Thai Green Curry for my family while listening to it. It made me realize how fortunate we are to have people like Captain Worthy in our world. His vivid accounts of being in a position to genuinely assist others were impressive. Thank you for creating this content.

Didn't know if I'd enjoy this topic at first, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed this discussion and learning about HADR from Capt. Worthy. Great job!

[@FighterPilotPodcast]

Thanks, Mike!

2:52 if you listen closely you can hear a rumble in the background, this happens several times throughout the video and is caused whenever hands are being set down on the table. The rumble is likely from the springs on the arms holding the mic.

What a great angle I did not give a lot of thought to this end of the business concerning warfare. Another great interview

[@FighterPilotPodcast]
