Grease Panarisi, 10 Percent True Episode 73 Part 2Mike “Grease” Panarisi tells of his journey flying the F-111F in combat to transitioning into the F-15E Strike Eagle. He recounts one of the most bizarre and incredible ejections in modern fighter aviation history — a high-speed bird strike at 200 feet that sent him parachuting into a Welsh field… and walking into a pub covered in glass and feathers.#F111F #F15E #USAF #EjectionStory #MilitaryAviation #10PercentTrue⸻0:00 intro teaser1:45 welcome back Grease2:55 Weapons - and Maverick specifically 7:10 GBU-1511:58 GBU-15 weaponeering/tactics13:50 secondary targets or second runs?15:10 other weapons? 17:20 organising missions with 24 CBU and the effect of weather 23:07 why not go low again?25:25 high order secondaries and BDA 30:35 GBU-10 to GBU-24 and dealing with a known bug43:30 CBU-AIM 743:43 BAOTD PT1 Ad44:15 Initial low profile with -24 and TF gave way to medium level 46:52 Pavetac anecdote 51:58 TACC - the plan and classification/dissemination 56:28 GBU-281:06:26 Desert Calm1:10:50 camouflage effectiveness review?1:13:05 returning to Lakenheath and onwards towards Strike Eagle and marriage!1:31:00 thoughts on where F-111F was with dawn of Strike Eagle1:40:12 wire chaffing and chasing bugs in software1:41:50 cooking P&W F100s and tanking teaser1:45:00 engine failure experiences1:46:10 approaching the APG-70 and new capabilities (air to air)1:53:15 F-4 vs F-111 dynamic in early days of Strike Eagle?1:59:10 adopting the air to air mission 2:00:15 How comfortable was the the Strike Eagle to “get used to” ergonomically 2:04:33 Ejection event2:31:30 1st mission back and aftermath2:41:15 psychological aftermath 2:53:00 roll on episode 3 or 1C?!
