At the bottom of the hour, Todd is joined by Lieutenant Colonel Michael “Germ” Koob, one of the best F-35 pilots around. Lt Col Koob doesn’t let it get to his head, though. He’s a humble man from a small town who wants everyone to know that if he can succeed in the military, they can too.

We are honored to welcome Brigadier General David May of the Wisconsin Air National Guard back to the program! Brig. Gen. May is now Wisconsin’s Interim Adjutant General and responsible for Emergency Management. He also serves as Wisconsin’s Homeland Security Advisor, chairs the Homeland Security Council, and serves as the senior state official for cyber matters. He updates us on something big that may be coming to Wisconsin! The 128th Air Refueling Wing is competing to convert to the brand-new KC-46 aircraft. This is a tremendous update from the KC-135, but only one state will make the switch at this time. Listen in for the differences, and stay tuned to discover if we get it in Wisconsin! 

Also, if you’re a longtime listener, you may remember that Brig. Gen. May is a huge music lover, so we hear a few more hits from his playlist throughout the hour.  

As per usual, the General brought some friends! We introduce Paul Malloy, Director of Education from the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) and Lieutenant Colonel Shannon Hellenbrand of the Wisconsin Army National Guard. 

LTC Shannon Hellenbrand focuses on recruitment and what it’s like to be a woman in the US military. Opportunities for women to grow and show how awesome they are have never been better, and she’s living proof of that. The Army National Guard has given her the confidence to overcome anything, and she wants nothing more than for other young women to have access to the same incredible opportunities. 

Every summer in Oshkosh, the EAA hosts AirVenture, a week-long celebration of aviation! Civic Media will be there covering it, and Todd will make a stop during the week as well. Paul Malloy tells us all about the incredible sights, sounds, and educational opportunities available. If EAA AirVenture sounds interesting to you, bring your family! Kids under 18 get in for free, and there are tons of events geared toward a younger audience. There’s nothing quite like AirVenture, so head on over to eaa.org to learn more. Additionally, if you know any kids from kindergarten to high school who want to learn more about aviation for free, check out AeroEducate! It’s a fantastic program for kids to have fun while learning real skills for a potential future in flying. Visit AeroEducate.org to check it out. 

If you’re interested in learning how you can serve your country, you can reach out online. Head over to goang.com for the Air National Guard or nationalguard.com for the Army National Guard. If you have a passion, there’s a way you can serve. Representatives will also be attending AirVenture.

Todd spent our first hour interviewing three fantastic servicemen and women, but he doesn’t have to be the only one! Brigadier General David May takes your questions on the Wisconsin Air National Guard (ANG) in an exclusive Q&A session. The General brings us up to speed on recruitment and retention rates across the US armed forces, sharing his excitement about the opportunities available. He also addresses concerns of family support for servicemen and women, emphasizing family outreach and childcare programs. He and Captain Sara Eagle discuss methods that the ANG employs to minimize the amount of noise civilians are exposed to when F-35 jets fly overhead. The conversation comes to a close as Brigadier General May advises a former serviceman on how to get back into the ANG. It turns out that no matter your background, it’s very easy to see how you can get involved in serving your country.

Have you ever wondered what kind of music a fighter pilot or general listens to? To conclude our visit with Brigadier General David May, Todd invites him to share some of his favorite musical experiences. Just as a smell or taste can bring back vivid memories, music carries the power to capture a moment. Todd and General May discuss this phenomenon to the tune of artists such as Johnny Cash, The Beatles, AC/DC, and BB King.

Today, we are honored to welcome Brigadier General David May back to a very special edition of The Todd Allbaugh Show! As the commanding officer of the Wisconsin Air National Guard (ANG), Brigadier General May brings an inside look at what’s been going on with the ANG family since our last visit to Northern Lightning at Volk Field. 

We also seize the incredible opportunity to interview Captain Sara Eagle and Airman First Class Chris Jones about their experiences getting into the Wisconsin ANG. Captain Eagle is an experienced F-35 pilot with a very fitting name. She shares what it’s like to have full control at incredible speeds and how it compares to the movies. We are proud to share her story and celebrate her as a role model for young girls who aspire to roles traditionally dominated by men. Airman First Class Jones is a newer recruit, currently in training for Explosive Ordnance Disposal. He joined the ANG expecting greatness, but the incredible skill, passion, and camaraderie he has found have blown him away. He also speaks on the joy of solving puzzles to defuse explosives and save lives. We are proud to share his story of personal growth and found family.

Continuing coverage on the ground at Volk Field, Todd asks Brigadier General David May and Chief Master Sergeant Chad Workman about what’s happening in the military today. Topics include the “summer camp for pilots” called Northern Lightning and Tommy Tuberville’s continued obstruction of military promotions. 

After that, we are joined by the Volk Field Director of Operations, Major Tyler Shaver! He also shares what it’s like to be an F-35 pilot. Senior Master Sergeant Reid Scott and First Sergeant Jaqueline Franck then tell tales of camaraderie between military branches.

For most of the first hour of the show, we took President Biden’s remarks from Milwaukee. Afterward, Todd comes to us live from Volk Field for Northern Lightning, a week-long Air National Guard training program. Brigadier General David May returns to the program with Chief Master Sergeant Chad Workman to tell us all about it!

Brig. Gen. May, Maj. Winiecki, and Col. Panzer continue on in the first half of this hour to share more stories from the Air National Guard. Sergeant Amber Peck, a former student of our news director Terry Bell, also joins in to share her story! 

We also break the news that Jerry Springer has died.

This morning, Todd broadcasts live near Truax Field as Brigadier General David May returns to the program for his first interview since the arrival of the first F-35 fighter jet in Madison. We also have the pleasure of hearing from one of the test pilots for this new jet, Major Rachel Winiecki, and Colonel Willa Panzer from the 115th Maintenance Group.

We are excited to bring on Brigadier General David May, commanding officer of Wisconsin’s own 115th Fighter Wing, to get an inside look at what the Wisconsin Air National Guard is like and some info on the UFO that was shot down over Lake Huron!
