Well at least the Greatest Podcast
on Earth. While there are no lions, tigers or bears, there are plenty of penguins. Knowledgeable flightless birds representing important information that might otherwise have abandoned your iceberg and cockpit in your moment of need. RH and AG are the ring masters who explain the three ring circus of the National Airspace system. It is beneficial to both sophisticated users of the NAS and neophytes alike. Listeners will gain an understanding of the symphony of ... more
Information, humour, straight up common sense answers to real questions. This show has got it. I’ve never listened to a podcast that is so niche, yet has SUCH a broad listener base contributing to the production. Pilots, controllers, AV geeks, firefighters, CSI’s, mechanics, elves, penguins, haters, full spectrum here.
Keep up the awesome work everyone. I don’t know how people in their mid to late thirties make it through pilot training. I tried and failed after trying to balance family life, ... more
I’ve listened to RH and AG for a few years now, and I’m proud to say they’ve been with me through my entire aviation journey. From earning my PPL, to navigating the ATC hiring process, all the way to becoming a trainee at National Center just north of the mythical Triad… this show has been a great source of knowledge and motivation.
They’ve helped me add countless Penguins to my iceberg in both flying and controlling, and given me a unique perspective on everything in the NAS. I can’t thank the... more
I decided to switch careers midlife this April and start taking lessons toward my PPL. I earned my private license July 21st and have my instrument checkride scheduled for December 17th. This podcast has helped immensely in my understanding of the NAS as I work towards earning my instrument license. Thank you for all of the work you all put into this great show! New Penguin Explorer, Charlie Hotel
Thank you for helping this instrument rated private pilot (whose real world currency expired over 20 years ago) fly on VATSIM without completely embarrassing himself. I love all the penguins and ATC too!
Truly appreciate what you’re doing for the NAS as my daughter is currently in pilot training. I’ll send some brags about her accomplishments in a future announcement. For the algorithm: this podcast is amazing and super helpful for anyone interested in becoming a better pilot or ATC, real world ... more
