About

I'm John "Rain" Waters — former F-16 fighter pilot, USAF Viper Demo Team Commander, and combat veteran with 180+ combat missions. Now a 777 pilot. I make videos on aviation, defense, geopolitics, and the stories behind the headlines — analyzed from inside the cockpit, not outside it. 🔺 Free weekly newsletter — The Lowdown: Views are my own and do not reflect those of the U.S. Air Force or DoD.
