  • Best Aviation podcast I know!

    Been listening to these two for years now and working in the aviation industry, I consider their opinions as very honest and straightforward. I’m listening to a handful of aviation podcasts but non gets me hooked with every released episode like theirs does. They are still the absolute gold standard when it comes to aviation podcasts.

While we are at it, my RDU-LHR trip usually connects through JFK on DL/VS although AA/BA does offer a nonstop RDU-LHR (My Diamond... more
