Thanks to the best show host and always keeping me laughing on my commutes to work or rides to and from the airport. As a Young Airline Pilot (26) and a mentor to a lot of future airline pilots, it’s great to hear Kevin’s story and his road…. Or taxiway to the airlines. Keep them coming.
So this podcast has become a Florida road trip tradition of mine. My 13yo son attends a school in Florida and when I visit we drive up and down I75 from his school I usually put this podcast on. Best of all he listens to it too! Kev and Mindy, you guys are naturals and make our drives together fly by (dad joke or pun take your pick). Great job! I look forward to listening to future episodes.
I have never subscribed to an aviation podcast, but follow several YouTube channels that mostly focus on accident investigation and training. Of course I do follow Mindy, and have always enjoyed and learned from her content. Thanks for such joyful and funny entertainment!
Long time follower of Mindy through social media - have always enjoyed the content she puts out and the way she explains things. Of course, I’ve seen Kevin there on occasion, but you really get to know him through this podcast. Really enjoying his sense of humor. And, the banter between the two is worth the listen each week. They both have interesting perspectives to share: Mindy is a seasoned vet, while Kevin is coming up through the ranks, but brings ATC experience as well. Really fun podcast ... more
Great podcast. Love the insight into the industry and sharing of your personal stories. Anyone that thinks that all pilots are egocentric, anal retentive, and dull need to give the podcast a listen!
