Summary
217 Max talks about the Air Force’s report on an F-22 Raptor
fighter crash that occurred in the Florida Panhandle in May 2020.
The accident chain shows several mistakes including maintenance,
pilot and technology errors, plus a wayward piece of tape combined
to cause the crash. Later, Max talks with Jason Blair about the
light gun test that colorblind pilots can take to get night flying
privileges.
