Among the best military aviation podcast out there, thank you to the host and guests
Amazing
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.

Great show mike. Keep it up. Really enjoy your interview style.
