Podcast Addict54 months agoHammer-D- 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!

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

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.
