2025 A DREAM’S REALITY: THE MAKING OF A FIGHTER PILOT
By Nakonia (Niki) Hayes
Hunter was 11 years old and propped up on his father’s lap in a 4-seater airplane. This allowed him to see out of the plane’s front window so he could “fly” the airplane. His father, Mike Herbert, was a licensed pilot and figured his son might enjoy pretending to be a pilot. That was in 2010.
In 2024, Hunter was 25 years old, 6’1” tall, and still looking out of the front windows of airplanes. This time he’s a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy with an additional three-year period of military flight training behind him. Officially a captain in the U.S. Air Force, Hunter has been assigned to fly the premier F-35A fighter jet for his country.

“As postbellum realities now simmer in Iran, the theocracy is left explaining the inexplicable to its humiliated military and shocked but soon-to-be-furious populace. All the regime’s blood-curdling rhetoric, apocalyptic threats against Israel, goose-stepping thugs, and shiny new missiles ended in less than nothing.
A trillion dollars and five decades’ worth of missiles and centrifuges are now up in smoke. That money might have otherwise saved Iranians from the impoverishment of the last fifty years.
How about the little Satan Israel, to which Iran for nearly 50 years promised extinction?
Israel had destroyed Iran’s expeditionary terrorists, Iran’s defenses, its nuclear viability, and the absurd mythology of Iranian military competence. And worse, Israel showed it could repeat all that destruction when and if it is necessary.
So, the most hated regime in the world crawled into the boiling pot because it looked around in vain for someone to void Trump’s ultimatum for a cease and desist.
But there were no last-minute saviors to rescue them.
The dreaded decades-long Iranian nuclear threat?
It is either gone for now, or if it resurfaces, it will be again far easier to vaporize at will than to rebuild a lost trillion-dollar investment.
Russia? Its former Obama-Kerry re-invitation back into the Middle East lasted only a decade.
It will now cut its losses like it did with the vanished Assad kleptocracy in Syria. Putin exits the Middle East not entirely displeased that his lunatic Iranian client did not get a bomb—but did get its just desserts. A tense Middle East tends to prop up Russian export oil prices.
Did China come to the mullahs’ aid?
No, they were not shy about ordering their Iranian lackey to keep the Strait of Hormuz open, through which 50 percent of Chinese-purchased oil passes.
For President Xi, the Iranians are treated as little more than Uyghurs with oil.
The world decided that it was tired of a half-century of crybully terrorism, empty nuke threats, mindless mobs screaming scripted banalities, cowardly murdering, and medieval theocrats threatening the general peace.
So, the world turned its back on Iran. And with a wink and nod, it let Israel and the U.S. do what they must.
As for Iran’s terrorist appendages, Hezbollah’s commanders are either dead, maimed, or in hiding.
Hamas has fled into a subterranean labyrinth.
The last Assad thug fled to Russia.
The crazy Houthis? They are reconsidering the idea of launching their last missile at the cost of their last port or power grid.
The anti-Trump Democrats and loony left?
Their talk of impeaching Trump for the supposedly “illegal” 35-minute, one-off strike will fade.”
