Endurance: From the Track to the Cockpit, a B-2 Pilot's Story

Welcome to Episode 26 of the Preferred Shares Podcast.

Fewer people have flown the Northrop Grumman B-2 stealth bomber than have traveled to space, which is why it was a great honor for Preferred Shares to interview Lt. Col. Todd Moenster, USAF, Retired, a former B-2 pilot.

We discussed a variety of topics:

* Why Todd became interested in becoming a pilot;

* Air Force pilot selection and the training program;

* Bomber aircraft characteristics and how the bomber training program differed from the programs for other aircraft;

* The challenges of long missions and managing fatigue and discomfort;

* Todd’s personal stories of operational incidents and the importance of technical redundancy; and

* Todd’s transition to the private sector and his role as a leader in Garmin’s Government and Defense Aviation Business Development.
