DJVC420 ,

Huge Thanks!!!

Cracking into the world of the military aviation is made possible with these interviews. Nobody comes close to the amount of individuals tapped into than Mike. So grateful for the efforts into all of this for us all to enjoy. Minor critiques would be to edit out the pregnant pauses, and I don’t see any reason to have them so short. These individuals are all just a wealth of stories and experience, open the tap and let it flow! I doubt that most of these individuals will ever be interviewed to this depth ever again, let’s tap it for all it’s worth! Love all of this, and again, HUGE THANKS!!!

Ridge Arthaud ,

Cool

Where’s the F-22 and F-35?!

F1 New guy ,

Very enjoyable and educational

Good podcast, with interesting guests and a good host. The host is comparable to Joe Rogan in that he lets the guests talk, and then the best stories and information is shared. Unlike some other hosts, like jiggly food, that is way to happy to talk over the guests and pose what is in effect yes/no questions.

Keep it up!!!
