Customer Reviews
Very cool and informative podcast!
I’m a big ol’ plane dork and this is a great low key, unique aviation podcast. I like that they don’t just talk about high profile or “famous” planes; the niche aircraft episodes are some of my faves.
The hosts definitely need a swear jar for everytime they say “drone” instead of “RPA” tho haha
Informative and Entertaining
Love this podcast! The stories and conversations are always engaging and entertaining! Would love an episode on the MC-130J!
A must listen for air crews
Fascinating and fun podcast for anyone who works in aviation or is interested in aviation. I love this podcast and would love to hear more guests, perhaps foreign pilots on exchange, pilots from other branches perhaps Army special operations and Coast Guard, and I would love to hear from Air Force enlisted perhaps someone from pararescue. Keep up the awesome work with this podcast.
