    Thank you everyone for your support and feedback. It has been a lot of fun getting to share stories on this podcast and I'm sorry to have to shut it down but life has gotten busy this last year. This will be my last KSP episode. Thank you again. On this episode we talk about nonsense, as is tradition, but we also talk about Ukraine getting F-16s, unprofessional flying by the Chinese pilots, and what has been going on in the flying world. Bender shares about hos the F-35 has so much power and still can't seem to maintain energy in a dog fight.

He is a F-22 pilot who is trying to solve the 5th Gen simulator problem. He was a First Assignment Instructor Pilot (FAIP, like Bender), then he went on to fly the F-22. We talk about flying the F-22, the F-35 and how they compare. Next we cover the problem at hand. How do we best build and utilize simulators to help our people train the best. We breakdown what we need out of a simulator and why we are in desperate need of not just a tech refresh but a new way of solving the problem.
