Human Performance in the Cockpit
BG Michael “Johnny Bravo” Drowley
On this episode, we welcome our first general officer guest, BG Mike Drowley, call sign Jonny Bravo. Brrrrrrt enthusiasts will appreciate that he is an A-10 Warthog pilot which, for the unfamiliar, means he flies an aircraft that is effectively a giant machine gun with wings. Pilots face unique performance demands that revolve around applying technical skills under pressure while resisting g-forces on their bodies. BG Drowley discusses these, but we also had a wide-ranging conversation about leadership at the strategic level, taking care of people, and the importance of human performance professionals being wholly integrated with the units they support. He's an engaging and thoughtful leader; his authenticity is immediately apparent when you talk to him.
