BONUS INTERVIEW - Pulled the Handle! Just Not Very Hard. Part 2 of 2

Here’s part two of Dan’s interview with Fig and RePete from the podcast So There I Was!

This half we talk movies a little, with some cool details about the harrier jets in True Lies, and get some personal “oh shit!”flying stories from the guys.

If you want to hear more from Fig and RePete, here is their True Lies ep, where they interview their squadron mates who actually flew in the film, and links to the rest of their show. Enjoy!
