  • Great Storytelling and FUN!

    While driving my preteen sons around, we have listened to every episode. Not surprisingly, my sons love all the bathroom humor as well as all the aviation knowledge that Kevin and Mindy impart. Wonderful podcast hosts, great storytelling, keep up the great work. This is a fun podcast that is just a delight to listen to.

  • I really like listening to this podcast because a lot of times aviation podcasts can be very serious. It's great to see a side of piloting that is more casual and funny, but still providing opportunities to learn. The things you learn may be things like: make sure you bring barf bags or wag bags on the plane 😂, rather than disecting a grim accident report. The relatively short episode format is also appreciated, it never feels like a slog.

  • Loving This Show

    Everyone knows about Murphy’s Law. Well, Murphy seems to have a particular interest in my friend Steve. Every time I see him, he shares an amazing story about fate has gotten him yet again.

I don’t get to see Steve as often as I’d like anymore, but I think about him every Wednesday. Do yourself a favor and c... more

  • All Pilots Must Listen

    For every pilot this is a must listen to show. Mindy and Kevin are wonderful in general, but in this show they have curated the best anonymous stories that you can both learn from and laugh about. Just be aware people will think it’s odd that you are laughing to yourself on your drive, walk or where you listen to your podcasts.

  • High Speed / Low Drag

    Great content, great delivery. The podcast consistently brings a high level of insight, energy, and authenticity that keeps you locked in from start to finish.

    Also hoping I can make it out to Vegas for a sightseeing flight with Kevin before he gets called up to the big leagues.
