The Cultural Challenges for International Training & Collaboration

You thought you’d heard the last of The Warfighter Podcast? We’ve been taking a short break - Tom’s been working hard on the farm and Colin has been off sailing (OK, not much sailing but the fish weren’t going to snorkel themselves).

We are now pleased to be able to say that Season 2 is GO, and we have a shiny new sponsor and exciting lineup of guests. We might even try another Live event or two. All will be revealed in the next episode.

Last season we had a couple of guests that we couldn’t fit into the schedule. So we are very pleased to be able to release this interview as a bonus episode. We are joined by Fahad ‘Sunny’ Masood who provides us with his perspectives on international collaboration by the Armed Forces during his time flying for the Pakistani Air Force. This is the type of work carried out by our Armed Forces, quietly in the background that delivers huge returns in terms of strengthening partner nations and building important links.

Sunny describes some of the cultural challenges of working with these training teams and reflects on the impact they had on his career and how it shaped his thinking as an aviator.
