In this clip, Col Jeremy “Maestro” Renken recalls one of the most humbling moments of his career — accidentally firing on his own wingman during his WIC course. It’s a rare look inside the intensity of USAF Weapons School and the kind of mistakes that teach the hardest lessons.
This story is part of a much bigger conversation about the culture of the Weapons School, combat leadership, and how pilots prepare for real-world air combat.
👉 Don’t miss what’s coming up next: In just two weeks, I'll be dropping my interview with Col Jay “OP” Denney, the F-15 pilot who scored two MiG-23 kills in Desert Storm. It’s a story you won’t want to miss.
