About this listen
Some of the most critical leadership decisions in modern warfare happen far from the spotlight.
In this episode, John S. Berry sits down with Mark Hasara, an Air Force Veteran, tanker pilot, author, and podcast host, to explore leadership lessons learned from the cockpit. Mark shares stories from his career flying the KC-135 Stratotanker, including missions during Desert Storm and later air campaigns where aerial refueling became the linchpin of success or failure.
The conversation dives into courage under pressure, logistics as a decisive factor in warfare, and how intuitive expertise is built through training, repetition, and trust. Mark also discusses his book Tanker Pilot, which combines first-hand accounts with rare, color cockpit photography, and how capturing lessons learned ensures they are passed to the next generation. This episode offers perspective for Veterans, leaders, and professionals who want to understand how preparation, adaptability, and humility shape outcomes when the stakes are highest.
