Let's continue with callsign "Lurch" on the F-35, Top Gun Finland and Ukraine! What's our pilots take on the Top Gun movies? What kind of missions is the F-35 suitable for and what sets it apart from other fighters? Why was Finland's procurement process so rigorous and what did the German air force have to say about that? And what is his take on Ukraine, F-16 and the air warfare that we're seeing, or not seeing?
Scott Davis, callsign "Lurch", is a fighter pilot with over 3600 flight hours in the F-15, F-16, F-18 and F-22 fighters. He's also attended and instructed at the TOPGUN courses in both US Navy and US Air Force. He now works for Lockheed Martin in the Nordics and he came on our show to talk to us about his career and the F-35, which is the new fighter jet for the Finnish Air Force.

What is Security in the High North - Mighty Finland in English?
The english side of the Mighty Finland Podcast, a podcast on all things military from the High North.
We are Finnish reservists and veterans and want to understand the world of defence & security, so we speak to different experts and ask them to explain the world as they see it!
In Finland we have a great military culture, which we like to advocate. Built from a long history and traditions, coupled with our conscription, where every male has to serve and that we never went down the GWOT rabbit hole and always focused on Russia. We trust our system and our ability to defend ourselves. Of 5,5 million people, almost 1 million have had military training of 6 to 12 months and are in the reserves.
