- Incredibly informative and enjoyable listen!
Excellent podcast for a student pilot, a working pilot, really, any pilot. I love that it’s to the point but very digestible, enjoyable to listen to, and easy to follow. It feels nonjudgmental, with hosts who are passionate not just about aviation but about helping others to be the best aviators they can be. As a student pilot returning to my training, this is exactly what I need to stay on top of my studying!

United States7 months ago - My absolute favorite podcast!
I found this podcast a couple months ago while searching for something to listen to and learn from while I’m working. I’m a garbageman so I have lots of time to listen! As a low time student pilot trying to get into a professional pilot program this podcast is a must have! In a short time I’ve listened to every episode and look forward to all the new episodes in addition to listening to the past ones over again. There is SO much knowledge given here and I just wanna say thank you to Bobby and Wa... more

Apple Podcasts5Rich GoosmannUnited Statesa year ago - Just keep learning
I don't fly as much as I would love to, but I feel that listening to podcasts like this help me keep that edge. It also has peaked my interest in someday owning the flight school.
Apple Podcasts5Sir RalfoUnited States2 years ago Just excellent. Very little chitchat, just cuts to the chase. Great content.
For me as a student pilot in the 40ies, listening to those guys equals learning from them.
And they're entertaining too, if you're interested in aviation topics.
Clearly highly recommended!
