“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.

This is the type of Fast and Furious I can support. The Wild Weasles help the make life of ground forces a bit easier. Written in the first person, it draws you into the world of the fighter pilot. As I listened, my appreciation for this group of men grew and I was totally fascinated at what they are able in accomplish in mere seconds. I thought the narration was rock solid . So if fast paced books and first hand accounts are your thing, you will love this one!

there are not many books that I would consider listening to twice, but this is one of them! The narrator does a great job of reading and the story is just incredible. Even though it is a story about war there are a lot of humorous moments thrown in as well. Just a great book to listen to.

Excellent Book!

If you want to know what it is like to be a fighter pilot in combat then this is a must read/listen book for you. Dan Hampton definitely has the right stuff! A real American Hero! As you can tell, I loved this book. He tells it like it is. You get the good the bad and the ugly of his profession. I appreciated his candor and honesty about life in the military.
I can only hope that Dan Hampton writes more books cause I have read them all so far.
Thanks!

Great Read!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

It is great for those that enjoy military experiences.

What did you like best about this story?

I really enjoyed that the author shared his story as how he saw it was and used the language and acronyms he used. Instead of dumming it down for the readers he explains it.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed listening to his book because I will never be a fighter pilot, yet through this book I can gain a small understanding of what it takes to be one.

Great Listen!

You just can't listen to a dog fight play by play at normal speed. 2.0 seemed the max speed & "understandably" while listening, 1.7 was my average. A fantastic series of stories to enjoy while rocking the baby to sleep.

Great at 1.5 to 2.0 speed
