We interviewed three alumni who supported Operation Allies Refuge, the international airlift that evacuated 120,000 people from Kabul, Afghanistan in August 2021, for “Providing Refuge,” a story in the Fall/Winter 2021 issue of Lift Magazine. This episode of Talon Talks is an edited version of the interviews recorded for that story, and includes details that wouldn’t fit in the print piece. The nature of its purpose means the audio is also a bit rougher than usual.

Our guests were Adam Cooper (’13), Doug Mayo (’11), and Matt Steele (’09, ’18), who all commissioned out of Embry-Riddle’s Air Force ROTC Detachment 157 and are active in the United States Air Force.
