  • These guys are great!

    Found these guys just a couple of weeks before osh 25 and can count on a single hand the number of times something other than the 21.five podcast has been playing in my car since. Currently a CFI-I at just over 1300hrs passionate about all things aviation, and these guys scratch all the aviation itches. Getting into some of the older shows I can relate to Max’s M-14P fun, as I’ve had scuba bottles hooked up to Nanchangs and a Wilga. All fun aside, this show has definitely influenced my flying an... more
