Gail Peck – “Legends in Aviation” Radio Intervew

by Dave Budd · Published July 28, 2012

The line up of Legends will include Colonel (Ret.) Gaillard (Gail) R. Peck Jr. (call-sign “EVIL”).

Col Peck will be discussing his involvement in the the CONSTANT PEG program, working with the support of General Hoyt S. Vandenberg, Jr., and under conditions of the utmost secrecy. The Constant Peg Program was the longest continuing United States classified airplane program in the testing and evaluation of Foreign Aircraft Technology. The 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron brought about a fundamental change in United States Air Force and Navy Aviation air-combat tactics.

The lessons learned out of this program helped produce the Air Force Red Flag program and the United States Navy Top Gun school. Col. Peck has just published a new book America’s Secret Mig Squadron: The Red Eagles of project Constant Peg. It will be a great pleasure to speak with the original Red Eagle himself – Colonel(ret) Gail “Evil” Peck. Listen in to the recorded interview below.
