My guest Jens and I have two things in common: we both fly gliders, and we both got to fly in an F-16. Which is why we form the Viper Gliding Club :-) Jens is a Danish journalist and got to fly with the Danish Air Force in one of their F-16Bs. In this episode we compare notes on our experiences, appreciate the commonalities and discuss the differences.
Note: In the intro I say that Jens flew with the Dutch Air Force. That is of course wrong, he flew with the Danish Air Force. I knew that, obviously, but the words are so similar that I messed them up.
