I never been to military but I am an aviation enthusiast and I love to hear these stories. Where else we would have to hear these first hand accounts? Thanks for your service and for sharing these stories with us. Cheers from Down Under
This show is both a lot of fun and very informative. Rather if you’ve “been there and done that,” or really wanted to just wasn’t able for whatever reason, like me, you’re sure to really enjoy this podcast.
I came across this show because I was looking for aviation content while my son attends Liberty University. He hopes to become an aviator…. Anyway, these Marines are an awesome duo. Love their guests, their questions and the information gained. Thank you for helping tell these stories.
Love the show! Please keep’em coming
