- Listen if you are a pilot wife!!
I recently found this podcast as I have been feeling lonely with my husband gone on trips. In my loneliness mind I thought no one understood what I was going through. Boy was I wrong!! This podcast has opened my eyes and I love listening to so many things I can relate to. I have now joined pilot wife groups and am excited to make friends with those who are navigating the same lifestyle as me. Thanks Jackie!

United States4 years ago - Future Husband pilots need this too
Discovered your show after your podcast w AirplaneGeeks. It’s fascinating to hear how aviation families operate. I’m not a pro pilot but my young son is planning to be one and I’m already nervous how this career will work for his future marriage and family. This is very eye opening and real. Thank you and all your guests

Huge Thanks to you for creating a place where I feel ‘normal’. We live quite a distance from my husbands base and I don’t have anyone close that understands this lifestyle.
Hearing from friends that ‘know’ is SO reassuring.
