“Viper Pilot is fantastic….A great read!”
—Dale Brown, former USAF Captain and New York Times bestselling author of A Time for Patriots

Action-packed and breathtakingly authentic, Viper Pilot is the electrifying memoir of one of the most decorated F-16 pilots in American history: U.S. Air Force Lieutenant Colonel Dan Hampton, who served for twenty years, flying missions in the Iraq War, the Kosovo conflict, and the first Gulf War. Both a rare look into the elite world of fighter pilots and a thrilling first-person account of contemporary air combat, Viper Pilot soars—a true story of courage, skill, and commitment that will thrill U.S. Special Forces buffs, aviation and military history aficionados, and fans of the novels of Tom Clancy and Dale Brown.

For a fighter jet enthusiast, this is just priceless! Clear and easy to understand explanations of tactical stuff makes it easy to understand. Narrator let's you almost feel some of the action. And this fighter pilot is really a true real life hero! What a life!

Just my kind of an operational fighter pilot. With a one mission life expectancy over the Cola Penninsula during the 1970ies, it is professionally reassuring to read that the USAF later got their act together and produced real warrior pilots, who had balls and knew their stuff! With this equipment and knowhow we could have stood a chance against SA-6s and the dreaded ZSU-23s. as well. We were just political canon fodder if we ever had been launched towards Monchegorsk or take on the Northern Fleet. This shows what brave men can do with the right tools and- training in the real world. You can feel the sweat and G-forces by just reading this, if you have ever seen 450kts and 6 Gs on the clock! Shit hot!

Adrenaline kick for an ol’ fighter pilot:

This is an good e-book, detailing air operations of a wild weasel fighter pilot, the main thing that I took away from this listen is just how gung-ho the Americans are!
