Canadian SEEDCORN pilots Capt Dylan Gilje-Allan and Capt Matt Chretien join us to share their journey from military flight training to operational flying on the CP-140 Aurora. They discuss the CEOTP/SEEDCORN training pipeline, earning their wings during COVID, and life in the Long Range Patrol community. The conversation also explores Operation NEON deployments, anti-submarine warfare, the Titan submersible search, and a dangerous fighter intercept in the Indo-Pacific that was later classified as unsafe and unprofessional. The episode concludes with their selection for Canada's P-8 Poseidon SEEDCORN program and the next chapter of Long Range Patrol aviation.
