  • Fabulous show and host

    I only started listening to The Helicopter Podcast a few months ago and needless to

    say, I’m hooked. It’s such a great way to learn more about this very niche industry and get insights into all the cool things pilots get up to. Halsey’s not only an awesome host but is also very responsive and helpful to any one who reaches out to him for advice (basing it on my personal experience). Thank you so much for all your help Halsey and please keep up the good work!
