Former Air Force F-15 pilot Roy “Deacon” Qualls shares incredible stories from a 38-year aviation career that includes scrambling to intercept Air Force One on 9/11, crash-landing a burning OV-10 at McCarran Airport, and taking NFL legend Drew Brees for the ride of his life.
In this episode, Deacon reveals:
• How watching Top Gun literally changed his life in four days—from graduate student to Air Force recruit
• Landing a flaming OV-10 off-runway in Las Vegas after being given the wrong winds
• The Vice President’s authorization to shoot down aircraft on 9/11 and what it was like scrambling to intercept Air Force One
• Transitioning from F-15s to Boeing 777s—his first landing of anything bigger than a fighter was a triple seven at Charles de Gaulle with 290 passengers
• Why Drew Brees asked to pull MORE Gs and what made him such an incredible person to fly with
Deacon just released his book “Pilot’s Edge: Think, Train, and Fly Like a Pro” with 25% of profits funding aviation scholarships for the next generation.
Happy Flying,
Justin
