Wonderful guests, thoughtful host

Even without a great deal of aviation knowledge, one can enjoy Jello’s story telling and superb interviewing skills. I’ve been a fan for years, and my kids like to listen as well.

5 stars

As a civilian, i find these shows so fascinating. I had the luxury of participating in a FAM flight and this really answers a lot of my questions and curiosity.

This review is different…

Most reviews are,” BEST THING EVER! LISTEN NOW!!” However, this podcast hits different for me. My grandfather died in active service flying a P-38 mustang he was shot down in world war 2 . He dreamt about future fighter planes and he always joked about F-18’s. The last joke he ever made was “ I love jello! If I ever get a good old hornet, that’s what I’ll name it. But I won’t make it out of jello that would be bad” that was the last time I ever saw him. Hearing Vincent talk about jets makes me remember him and I’m laughing along, commenting and joking just like I did with him. That’s what makes me give this five stars. It just brings back happy memories.
