E355: From 9/11 to Special Ops: Flying Secret Missions

E355: From 9/11 to Special Ops: Flying Secret Missions

Most pilots dream of smooth 10,000-foot runways.

Tyler Flagg trained to land a 30,000-pound aircraft on a 25-foot dirt strip… in total darkness.

After 9/11 changed his life trajectory, Tyler went from zero aviation background to flying Special Operations missions around the globe. With minimal information and maximum responsibility, he deployed into multiple combat theaters — moving elite teams into places most people will never see on a map.

In this episode:

  1. The unconventional path into Air Force Special Ops
  2. What it feels like to deploy with barely 250 flight hours
  3. Flying through Saharan fuel-risk zones and Pacific icing
  4. The culture differences inside military aviation
  5. Why humility matters more than ego in elite units
  6. Building a company after walking away from a “dream job”

This one is raw, honest, and packed with perspective.
