Customer Reviews
Great Podcast!
A great insight and great stories of aviation
Phenomenal podcast that has taught me so much
As a soon to be student pilot going through UPT, this podcast gives me so much insight as to what it’s actually like to be a pilot in the USAF. I only get more excited to start my journey every episode.
Let the stories live
Solid podcast for incredible stories that would be otherwise forgotten without documentation and chats like this.
