LOVE his sense of humor. Great delivery and presentation!

Great presentation. I did not know that U-2 Pilots had "toilets". I love the U-2. Not my favorite plane, but it's beautiful and cool.

This is so AWESOME!!! Greetings from the UK.

The man is a Ivy league grad, he's brilliant smart and has a wicked sense of humor.

57:00 I grew up in Fairfield, Ca where they have the C-5's. One day a crew where practicing landing in the C-5 by touching down then taking off again without stopping (touch and goes). Well, the gear warning alarm kept going off and it got annoying so they disabled it. This would not have been a problem had the pilots not forgotten to lower the gears on the last landing. A bit later I was asking a C-5 pilot in my church about the accident (which is how I know the details). He wasn't involved in the accident flight but knew the former pilots who were (the Air Force doesn't let you fly anymore if you crash doings something stupid). He told me the flight deck is so high up a gear up landing looks and sounds just like a gear down landing. You may not even know what you did until you try to taxi off the runway or the control tower calls to let you know your Air Force career has come to an end.

Funny character, excellent speech.

I loved it...very entertaining. had me laughing. .. I can hear it now though: "...But, Dad you promised to be more Tom Cruise and less Jeff Goldblum around my friends!"

The air frame and suit/food are literally 1950's technology, 62 years old, and this is what we're still using. Something seems to be amiss. Interesting presentation regardless.

Love these videos. Great presentation.

With a last name as his, his pals had no choice but to nick name him Skid 😍

brave man rob rowe brave man

his voice sounds similar to tim robbins, very well spoken.

What an interesting man, bet he has told us 1/5 of what he could.

He's pretty salty, for a pilot, I love it.

skid row dtla lol

Just one question. How many landings did you make where you did *NOT* ground loop it?

Some gliders have flaps that go up.

With the last name Rowe, you're lucky if you don't end up with the name "Mike" as your nickname. With that possibly indicating the size of a body part.

Interesting talk, but the guy sounds like at the end of the day, he hated his job... Too much cynicism actually gets in the way of understanding what he's trying to tell.
