  • Great conversational style

    As an aviation buff I love the tone, style and of course content. And it’s mainly UK based which offers a different perspective from other (also good) pods. The recent F-4 ejection episode was particularly fascinating.

  • Brilliant !

    This was the first podcast I got into and it consistently delivers. The content varies from military to civilian and occasionally Mike will do an interview with a guest at an aviation museum. Highly recommended!
