How You Can Become An Air Force Pilot + Flying With The Thunderbirds

One thing you guys asked me to do is cover a variety of careers for pilots. I'm an airline pilot and I love what I do, but there are SO many amazing career paths if you've ever dreamed of becoming a pilot. Here's an inside view on a career I've never covered before... the Air Force! I had the opportunity to fly in an F-16D with the Thunderbirds to learn what it takes to become an Air Force pilot, and what it's like to fly in some seriously cool equipment. I bet you have tons of questions, so check out the links below for some answers:
