This week, Tucker sits down with Rob "Z-Man" Zettel to talk about flying Soviet MiG-21s and MiG-23s as part of the highly classified Red Eagles under Constant Peg. The program helped prepare American fighter pilots to face and defeat their adversaries by training against real Soviet aircraft. They discuss the story behind some of his incredible firsthand experiences from one of aviation's most secretive programs. As the conversation comes to a close, Rob reflects on the lessons he learned in the military that continue to shape his life today.
