That’s exactly what we’re diving into today with Lieutenant Colonel Brandon Williams, a decorated Air Force fighter pilot with over 20 years of military experience, hundreds of combat hours over Iraq and Afghanistan, and now a major airline captain who’s made it his mission to bring elite aviation safety culture to civilian flight training.
