I think you’ve found your next sticker idea: „Wake up wrecked in the Hilton somewhere!“ - The 21.5 Show.
Love the show, been listening for a long time now. I recommend it to all the aspiring pilots I work with or speak with. From student pilots to guys like me trying go from Marine Corps V22s (Shout out to Dan mentioned in a previous episode) to the Majors. Keep up the great work guys! Always informative and entertaining. „Fake it ‚til you make it!“ Semper Fidelis. Mark.
Best aviation podcast out there at the moment. Nice work guys. Us pro pilots enjoy your perspective and relevant humor. James “right” O’Neal tho. Maybe jettison him. Dude is impossible to listen to. Otherwise, Great job fellas. Love the show.
Funny, informative and insightful. By far the best aviation podcast out there. As someone riding the industry wave (one day listening from the right seat at FL45,0 and the next day at home laid off) this podcast keeps me plugged in and encouraged. Listening makes me feel like it’s just another day on the flight deck…
Max and Dylan do a great job covering pertinent topics while keeping it funny and light hearted.
Love the show guys. The Click and Clack brothers of Aviation.
12 years of 137 in air tractors, and now stumbling my way into 121 in the Airbus. I found you’all just before starting initial, and couldn’t’ve made it thru without you. “Fake it ‘till you make it!”
Possible interview recommendation… Steve Wentworth of Wentworth Aircraft Recovery in Minnisota. Experienced private pilot and story teller, he has recovered over 6,500 wrecks. Solid advice and insight such as: “friends don’t let frie... more
