A Stealth Fighter Pilot's Timeless Rules for Making Tough Decisions


Listen Later

Hasard Lee is a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot who began his career flying the F-16 Viper. As a flight commander, he led his pilots into combat during one of the most intense periods during the War in Afghanistan. There, he flew over 80 combat missions and became the only fighter pilot to ever fly two different types of jets into combat on the same day while supporting troops under fire. Hasard was then hand-picked to fly the F-35 – the most advanced and expensive weapon system in history. In this episode, we discuss the cognitive load of decision-making while flying at high speeds, the formula of expected value, and techniques that U.S. Air Force fighter pilots leverage to stay calm in high-stress situations.
