Best aviation podcast out there

I’ve been listening to this for a while now and it is by far the most interesting and engaging podcast about both civil and military aviation. Jell-O is an awesome host and is really fun to listen to, his knowledge of the aviation also really helps the pace because he knows what’s going on. Would recommend this to anyone who’s interested in general aviation or just even just the military in general. Keep up the good work Jelly 👍🤩

THIS IS BUSSIN

Uh yea idk what ppl mean who say stuff like “it’s got worse since 2019” or all that, it’s completely fine, in fact I love it, and I’m one a few 12 year olds who are interested in the fleet air and stuff like that, I live in England tho and I still learn about harriers and stuff like that very diverse. besides, Jell-o is a jelly in England… best jelly out their plus he’s a brilliant.. podcast guy???

The best military aviation podcast!

A superb podcast for the military aviation enthusiast whatever your experience and knowledge. With access to those who’ve not only done it but are able to clearly articulate and talk about it too, at a fine level of detail, this really is the best.
