Dylan and Max are great! They provide down-to-earth conversations about topics that professional pilots care about. The stories shared by the hosts and guests alike are excellent. I particularly like the tales of triumph and hardship as the boys navigate ownership of a Murphy Moose homebuilt airplane while being an airline pilot and dad (and sometimes corporate pilot, too). Keep the episodes coming! -another airline pilot

Great podcast to help guys like Me figure out what recruiters want to see

This podcast is a wonderful platform that discusses the industry with an accurate and honest lens. Dylan and Max have excellent guests to supplement their vast knowledge, and their approachable discussions about aviation are inclusive to those who enjoy it as a hobby, career, or who just want to learn more about the MU-2 (there’s gotta be at least 6 of us). This podcast is full of valuable insight such as how to get started in aviation, how to work with your significant other to understand difficulties that come with being a pilot, financial planning (never take financial advice from pilots- specifically divorced boomer captains), how to create a seniority-based bidding list with your children for chores, and so much more. These guys don’t sugarcoat the industry. You won’t find them posting aviation thirst traps that try to exploit the actually cool things we get to do. They recognize the 3:15am alarms, late hotel vans, commuting, crew scheduling, and the instability that causes that sad, sad tune of the furlough flute. They also recognize the incredible opportunities out there by asking great questions and allowing guests to discuss pros and cons of their experiences with certain careers. Their advice is well thought out, and they give careful consideration to individuals and the many variables that must be considered for their specific circumstances. Funny dudes, great conversations, and lots of valuable information. It’s skibidi Ps Joel got too much hate

I recommend this to all active pilots. Dylan and Max are entertaining and very knowledgeable with respect to professional aviation today. I look forward to hearing each episode. Thanks for what you do.

As a student pilot aspiring to become a pilot for the airlines or corporately, this podcast has increased my knowledge in all aspects of aviation. Light hearted, and very insightful. Keep it up!

Gentlemen, the 21.5 show is my absolute favorite Aviation podcast. It provides relevant information blended with a good dose of humor. Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, you guys put out episodes 147 and 149. Part 91/135 operations are my aim as I transition to professional flying from being a 20 year A&P. I feel that my background will lend itself quite well to a career in corporate aviation, and as such, I have pursued as much knowledge through NBAA, and last year I received my CAM accreditation. Episodes such as these definitely help someone like me learn more and stay relevant as I continue the grind. I’m about to begin working as an independent Flight Instructor to continue building my hours. You guys keep up the great work, and I will keep faking it until I make it. Thanks for all you do. Hope to see you guys at some of next year’s bigger events such as sun and fun or Oshkosh.

I’m former military now an airline guy yet episode 147 small fly dept leadership was such a great discussion! Thank you Dylan and Maxx for continuing to have great content across many aviation disciplines!

Great podcast, I listen to it at the shop while I work my dayjob and it’s a great way to keep an ear on aviation without the drone of monotone study guides and audiobooks about LOC ILS RNAV ACS ATOMATOFLAMES GRABCARD AAV1ATE MOCA OROCA BBL driving you absolutely crazy on hour 10 of a 8 hour shift. Great knowledge being shared without boring you to tears. Thx guys -@catswithhardhats

Max and Dylan do a great job with this podcast. I find it educational and entertaining. The topics discussed vary widely and keep the podcast interesting. From the historic first hand account of drug smuggling to advice on how to best prepare for a job interview to the building of a Murphy Moose and the now famous advice of “ fake it till you make it” , all can find something to enjoy here.

Dylan and Max both give great advice as well as information while still giving me a few laughs every episode. This podcast has kept me entertained during my 2.5 hours of driving to flight school 4 times a week. Need more Ted though, his perspective of being a IRO is critical to aviation as a whole, without him who will ever make the beds. Besides that, 10/10 podcast.
