If you're even remotely into aviation — or just enjoy stories that make you laugh, cringe, and question humanity's ability to operate heavy machinery in the sky — the Captain John Doe Podcast is pure gold. Kevin and Mindy have created the aviation equivalent of sitting at the airport bar with your funniest, most knowledgeable pilot friends who somehow make every tale better with their banter.

We usually go to Vegas a couple times a year. I am a private pilot working on my instrument rating so we thought instead of fueling money into the casino why not fuel up a Cirrus and fly with the “best host” of the Captain Jung Doe podcast.
We arrived, met Kevin, flew the SR for the first time and got to know Kevin and his expertise in flying and instructing.

Kevin told me I had to leave 5 stars on the podcast. No in all seriousness, these two are great to listen to and I love the different perspectives on the aviation community! Great job both of you!
If you’re looking for good information, current events, and amazing anonymous stories from the world of aviation look no farther. Captain John Doe is a standout among aviation podcasts. Arguably the best part is the rapport between the hosts. Kevin and Mindy reflect well on aviation, and maybe even more importantly on marriage. Truly a fun lesson. Binging it right now.
Always 5 stars! Absolutely love these two.
