Mike Ciminera, Aerospace consultant/Lecturer/Writer and retired Vice President of Northrop-Grumman Corp.

Please join us in welcoming Mike Ciminera to our #LittleItalyOfLAPodcast, one of the most brilliant minds behind Northrop Grumman’s F-14 Tomcat aircraft.   Mike’s rise to the top of his field as an aircraft developer is the stuff movies are made of. He takes us through the development of this exceptional plane, and shares the entire technological and geopolitical story behind the aircraft that defended the US Navy for more than a generation, and eventually became the centerpiece of the film, “Top Gun.“   You can find our full interview with Mike on all video and audio podcast platforms. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and thanks for joining us. Please invite your friends, too.
