Air Force Lt. Col. Clayton Percle, 525th Fighter Squadron commander at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, talks about his life-long love of fighter planes, triumph over adversity which threatened to crush his dreams of becoming a fighter pilot, and the flight which made him the first U.S. Air Force active-duty pilot to break 1,000 flight hours in the F-22 Raptor, Feb. 3, 2015. (In 2011, Air Force Reserve Col. David Piffarerio, then a Lieutenant Colonel with the 302nd Fighter Squadron and now deputy commander of the 477th Fighter Group at JBER, became the first Air Force pilot to reach 1,000 hours in the Raptor).
