Haha, another great interview. As an Aussie, the Call sign "Wombat" had me thinking surley not....and now knowing that he ended up in Australia confirms my suspicions as to why his call sign is not PG rated.😅😅😅😅 i first heard that nickname bandied around when i was living in the Northern Territory . The guys that got that nickname wore it with pride i think. What a legend ....bloody pilots😅😅😅😅😅

I finally got around to see the interview with Wombat, such a good interview! Thank you both

I am glad I had you as my Division Officer. Great guy.

Wombat does a great job interviewing. Love listening to his stories awesome job mover

In a world full of uncertainty where the lines seem to blur more each day, it is a privilege and a relief to be reminded who we are in these interviews Mover. Plan A for me was to be a naval aviator. At 17 I got slapped by a doctor with a hyper sensitive inner ear balance system, and at 37 I'm still trying to figure out plan B. The goal now is to help preserve the values, heritage, culture, personalities, and excellence of our military aviators through writing. YOU guys, like so many generations before you are the reason I always wanted to be a naval aviator and will remain committed to the community as long as I live. Sorry, didn't mean to preach, just hope you and your guests appreciate how much people like myself appreciate you. Keep up the great work fellas!

Great interview.👍 I could listen to Wombat all day. Gonna order the book today. Thanks Mover for another winner. 🇺🇲💜

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, Mr. Matson!

Mover, just finished watching your interview. Wombat and you put a big smile on my face. Great interview! You have a great ability to interview military pilots and make a very entertaining experience for the listener. BZ.

Thanks again for a great interview and insight to military aviation. You have a knack to bring out awesome stories from your guests....keep finding them!

Great interview. Wombat has really done it all. Very inspiring.

Just loaded Treason Flight to my Kindle. It was quick read and a great story. Now if Mover would just finish his sequels to the Shepard series and Fini Flight I’d have something to read while Wombat writes his next book.

Great interview, Mover and I will be purchasing his book through Amazon.

Glad you continue with the interviews !!

Another great interview. Very informative and entertaining. Thanks Mover and Wombat!

Another great interview. You are getting better with each one.

Hey, I'm familiar with Wombats. You don't want to hit one with your car, they'll do a surprising amount of damage. They are tough little buggers!

So impressed that he overcame airsickness. Those who haven’t experienced motion sickness cannot begin to imagine.

VAW-117 was my first command, same as Wombat

Fun Fact, OV-10s are used by CalFire for Command and Control and ATC control as well.

bought the book. Looking forward to a rainy weekend for the read. Need a DCS F/A-18 break.

Great prologue, Wombat.

Just ordered it. Great interview.

Nice intro music!

Another Vance alumni here. Enjoyed the airsickness stories. I too had issues early on but they ended when my screaming IP went on leave and I flew with my class commander who was a very mellow guy. Karma got me though when I returned as a T37 IP because I ended up having the class pukers for students for two classes in a row. Inverted spins were a prohibited maneuver when I flew the T37, normal student spins were entertaining enough for me.

Book ordered.

Great stuff! Hey Mover it would be great to get some pictures from whoever you are interviewing, if they are willing to share, and put them up as you guys talk about flight school, deployment, etc. Anyway just an idea, also tell Wombat thank you for sharing his story! It really helps a lot of people.

I love that Mustang driver, great interview!!

"Wombat" = Eats, roots, shoots and leaves ..Aussies or anyone who is familiar with Aus slang will understand LOL :O)

I read Treason Flight, am I in WOMBAT's circle of trust now? I'll happily buy the next one too, so start pricing OV-10's.

Great interview

Mover can you do a accident review on a EA6B Prowler crash in Eastern Washington about 10 years ago. The Prowler was out of Whidbey Island Naval Air station!

Eats, roots and leaves like any Wombat?

I was in 97 fellow warhawk.

cool intro jam track.... need a few blast beats in there :)

I was recently watching a smarter every day video where he rode with an F16 pilot, prior to maneuvers he would say "smoke on" what is the reason/significance of that? I couldn't find anything searching other than people wanting to know if their pack a day habit was prohibiting them from flying a jet. Thanks.

Do you or Wombat know any Devs who would / 'could' create a Full Fidelity E-2 Hawkeye module for DCS (with Radar operator slot) (assuming there is enough publicly available documentation / data to be able to create such a module?? I know I would buy it if it was a module for DCS???

That’s one hell of a T-37 check ride story WOMBAT! 🫡🇺🇸

Hey Mover, can you do one of these with Ward Carroll, callsign Mooch? He's a Tomcat RIO from the 90's and also an author. I think it would be cool for you guys to compare experiences. thanks

That rule should be in the Geneva Convention.

Super fudd (E2) We're can we get the x rated version of call signs?

Every time I see the E-2, I hear the Mexican Hat Dance

Go Wallbangers.....

Hello Sir I have 1 question I can not apply to the university and if there is any chance that I will get directly to the Aviation Academy? This is my dream

T45’s haha. Kingsville of Meridian

Mover: I got 1,500 HP in my garage Wombat: (Thinks to himself: "Total, I guess you got a 4 car garage; or are you referring to your wife currently being in your garage?" LMAO

Wombat needs to sit closer to his mike

Wombat = Eats - roots - and leaves. Get it?

1500 HP with nowhere to use it.

Fat finger problems Mover lol I accidentally hit the dislike button but I fixed it lol I smashed the hell out of that like button lol sorry about that…hope your doing well my friend HUGS

What the heck do you own that is 1500hp? It can't be your vet.

Waste Of Money, Brains, And Time.
