    USAF Test with MAJ Jared Evans

    "You can have a RC plane, why can't you have a RC tank that's full size?"  No, we're not interviewing an RC enthusiast. Today we're talking all about USAF test with MAJ Jared Evans. Jared worked testing several different things for the AF, including guided bombs, and he has some pretty crazy stories about different projects he worked on, including launching ICBMs at small Pacific Islands to test their operational ability. Now he works at AFWerx, which deals with helping people gain a contract from the military for various ideas/prototypes that they want to sell to the military, as well as testing products to compete for a contract.
