Hilarious because it’s true...

They say life is what you make it… and it’s totally true. It’s been almost 20 years since I last held a maintenance related position but OMG I laughed SO HARD listening to these guys. Well done!

Entertaining

I am not whatsoever in the field of aviation, but I did go through the military enlistment process and almost made my way into the military before I was medically denied. Anyway, I found this very entertaining and it brought back some good ol memories of when I took the Asvab 😅 I have a few friends in Aviation and this really helped understand what some of these guys go through. I also really enjoyed hearing both the civilian side and military side of the spectrum. Keep it up guys!

Enjoy every minute

Worked with one of the hosts on the show and let me tell you, everything he says about the Marine Corps helicopter community is true. I miss it most days and this show brings back so many memories, good and bad, I haven’t thought of in years. Keep on keep'n boys!!

Crushing It

I was never a member of the aviation community, but this podcast is relatable from any standpoint. One thing's for sure: pilots are still the worst. So excited for more!

Sexy Voice

Love who’s ever voice sounds like a sexy man bear lumberjack. Sounds like a husky YumBerry is really the best way to describe it. Can’t wait to listen to more in my bathtub with some candles lit and a bottle of yumberry wine. 😘
