Wingmen Show

Two Dope Boys in a Navy jet. The Wingmen Show is a weekly podcast about challenges and opportunities in everyday life. Your hosts are two guys born in Harlem, New York previously unknown to each other. Separately, they became Navy pilots flying high performance jet aircraft on and off of aircraft carriers patrolling the world’s oceans. Their paths did not cross formally until they ended up flying for the same airline after their active-duty military service had ended. They have a wide range of experiences spanning the worlds of basketball and boxing. Drew’s father is Drew Bundini Brown, Muhammad Ali’s Wingman and coined the iconic phrase “Float Like A Butterfly Sting, Like A Bee". Martial Arts and Show Business are also areas of mutual interest. Drew has been featured nationally on television programs such as the Donahue Show and the Today Show. He has also appeared in hundreds of newspapers and magazines. Both are published authors as well as former Navy jet pilots and Commercial Airline Pilots; they retired after having flown the Boeing 777 airliner. The cultural mix of religions, immigrant parents and grandparents from Europe and the Caribbean gives them an uncommon perspective on racial matters. Melding the cultures of New York City, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Memphis, the Caribbean and Atlanta has helped shape their worldview when combined with the life they have seen and experienced having flown extensively to countries throughout the world.They are wingmen to each other, providing advice, guidance and constructive criticism when needed. The goal of the show is to inspire and entertain those unafraid to expand their minds and perhaps learn something new in the hope that the listeners can become wingmen to others. Each one, teach one.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Even if one is not successful, the act of trying and learning from the effort may provide great benefits later on down the road.

The “Bad Bunny” Super Bowl halftime show was a visual spectacle that gave a glimpse into the life and history of Puerto Rico, and its people. It was deemed controversial by some because of the exclusive use of the Spanish language throughout the entire act, except at the very end. Unfortunately, there was a large segment of the population who were unaware that the island has been a U.S. territory since the end of the Spanish-American war in 1898.

Modern jet airliners can practically fly themselves, for the most part. However, there are critical decisions that technology alone cannot do. Human pilots will be required as master-monitors for the foreseeable future. Old pilots were exclusively hands-on, doing everything manually due to the fact that only until recently, full automation did not exist.

If you have an urge to fly either as a career or a recreational activity, a simple and cost effective way to get started is to sign up for a Discovery Flight; an introductory flying experience with a certified flight instructor that gives one a hands on experience in operating an aircraft. Such a session lasts between 30-60 minutes at minimal cost.

Meet a wingman took it upon himself to stood up for another who was unfairly marginalized and swept aside.
