    Aviation content in a New Zealand and Australian podcast is what I’ve been dreaming of. This podcast delivers a well balanced listen into the proud heritage of aviation down under.

    I especially love hearing about the hardworking top dressers, and the aircraft restorations.

  • Top aviation podcast

    This podcast focuses on New Zealand aviation, but is a great listen wherever you are in the world. There is a good mix of interviews with aircrew from different eras, talks from the live events and plenty more about warbirds, as well as the current GA scene in NZ.
