Billie Flynn spent years as a pilot in the testing program for the F-35 stealth fighter jet.
I was involved with the F-35 program for essentially 20 years after coming over to Lockheed Martin from the Eurofighter Typhoon program.

So there really are pilots who are better than others, but as a test pilot, that flying skill is what keeps us alive.
And I think that's thanks to incredible engineers, incredible designers and incredible military fighter pilots who were instrumental in developing the airplane.
