  • Delightful Content

    I’ve only followed this podcast for the past few months, and I am thoroughly impressed with the contributors along with the lack of money grabs or other panhandling. The content details areas not often discussed within military aviation, and deal with extremely relevant topics such as aircrew cancer and high G RSI injuries. I have enjoyed the light attack series quite a bit and look forward to every new episode that drops. Thank you for providing a great channel to follow!
