"To argue with a man who has renounced the use and authority of reason, and whose philosophy consists in holding humanity in contempt, is like administering medicine to the dead, or endeavoring to convert an atheist by scripture." -Thomas Paine

DEEP DIVE - Medicine for the Head: F-14 RIO with Dave "Bio" Baranek.
HI! This is BJ. I'm writing this in the first person because I'm excited about this one. Extremely excited. I've been nerding out about the F-14 since I was 9, so to be able to have and record this conversation for all of you was an absolute pleasure. Bio's career is incredible and, even though we only scratched the surface, it was still mind blowing. Below are links to his website and his three books, all of which are must-reads if you're as fascinated as I am with naval aviation.
