From Cargo Pilot to Four-Star General

In this powerful episode of the Tango Tango podcast, host Lloyd Knight welcomes retired four-star General John Handy, former Commander of U.S. Transportation Command and Air Mobility Command. With a career that spanned nearly four decades, General Handy shares his journey from humble beginnings in Raleigh, North Carolina, to becoming one of the highest-ranking leaders in the U.S. Air Force.

General Handy opens up about how a love for aviation shaped his path, the life-altering crash that rerouted his early career, and the leadership lessons forged in Vietnam and beyond. He reflects on the value of mentorship, the meaning of service, and why every day is a blessing. From flying the C-130 to commanding global logistics operations post-9/11, Handy’s story is one of grit, humility, and lifelong purpose.
