It has taken me far too long to leave this review. I have been flying for a year and midlife pilot has been with me every step of the way. As soon as I started flight school, I began looking for content to help me in my training. I tried various aviation podcasts but I felt overwhelmed by most of...Read full review »

They tried to bribe me with stickers, but I already have some so this one is free! Hosts Ben, Brian, and Ted discuss the unique struggles and triumphs of flying in midlife, whatever midlife means to you. Regardless of your age, this show is a must listen for those hoping to fulfill their...Read full review »

Borrowing a 1973 quote from Jimmy Buffett, “I have found me a home.” Brian, Ben and Ted - and their aviation devotees - are my peeps. This is a community of midlife aviators attempting to juggle life’s demands and financial realities, with the daily, irresistible calling to break our...Read full review »

Probably the best episode thus far. I loved how Erica was breaking down the calculus of establishing and holding yourself accountable for minimums. I’d love to learn more from her! Thanks to all!

I found this podcast a few months ago when I started really thinking about getting a PPL and even possibly career switching down the road. Having no background in aviation and no friends with PPLs, this podcast is a much needed friend that gives me guidance and encouragement in this journey. I...Read full review »

This take on aviation, from the standpoint of a midlife pilot, has always been one of my favorite perspectives, because so many of us can relate because we are right smack dab in the middle of that audience! I've always enjoyed the show, but the new format compelled me to write a review for...Read full review »

I started taking flying lessons in the Fall of ‘22 at the age of 57. I stumbled across Chris Moran’s YouTube channel while looking for aviation content. That in turn led me to this podcast. It’s a 5 star pod to be sure. Chris and Brian bring excellent conversation to a group of mid (and later)...Read full review »

Been listening for about a month and this podcast has quickly become a favorite of mine! Love learning about my newest obsession from a couple of admitted amateurs. Really helping to de-mystify a lot about the process and show that not everyone is a born pro heading to an airline as fast as...Read full review »

Just have to say “THANK YOU!!” Haven’t flown in 20 years and you guys are making me feel comfortable jumping back into training at 46. Just found you guys last week so I’ve been binge watching/ listening between Apple and YouTube. Thanks for keeping it real, entertaining and funny. Never...Read full review »

Keep up the great content!

Thanks to Chris and Brian for being such great inspiration. My path to Private pilot has been drawn out over 18 months and both Chris and Brian have been a joy to watch and hear along the way. 138 hours in two planes (rented 172 and my own 182) mechanical issues, weather, work, life and...Read full review »

If you are a pilot if any age or considering getting a license this is essential and entertaining listening. They share the good, bad, and ugly.

47 years old and working on my private pilot certificate I live in very rural America. This podcast is like having a couple buddies that you can listen to. That’s been there and done that.

This podcast is not only a terrific source of useful and important information for pilots. It’s also the meeting point of a community of pilots committed to getting better and having fun. When you start listening, get involved! Submit questions, comment during the livestreams, and come meet up...Read full review »

Whether you are an aviation nerd or not, this is a great show. You can watch live or as your typical podcast. I love that it’s not scripted and they start with a topic and let it ride from there. Feels like you’re in the room hanging out with them. Or maybe I just wish I was ;-)

The service you all provide is nothing less than amazing.

I subscribe to a lot of aviation podcasts. But this one is different in the best possible way. I got my private license at age 49 and the challenges are different for mid-lifers. Chris and Brian do an excellent job talking about starting up in aviation a little later in life. I connected with...Read full review »

I have latched on to this podcast and I’m all in. Even reached out to Brian for some one on one encouragement. I’m glad I did. Joined the live on YouTube tonight these two are very relatable. Looking forward to more content on commutes to work and hanging out on lives!

These two are great! One host while the other does the technical work. Two pilots talking about their journey to PPL.
Myarmy2007 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/22
These old guys are still interesting for us young folks. Don’t let the name of the show dissuade you from giving them a listen. I’ve learned a ton from listening through their podcasts and have a lot of fun while listening as well. Give it a go, you’ll be impressed!
Slo Matt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/27/22
I thought I already subscribed to all the good aviation podcasts when I stumbled upon this. I’m a midlife pilot with about 200 hrs in the last couple years. These guys really resonated with me and, at least in the first episode I chose, did a great job of staying on topic and not drifting off on...Read full review »

Just found the podcast and loving it! I’m 37 and recently got my PPL (118hrs total as of now) with no further aspirations than recreation but may pursue the CFI as wrenching on cars breaks me down more. I can relate to so many experiences you’ve both discussed. Keep up the awesome work guys!

Honest content from two low hour private pilots. Useful, applicable information provided in a fun relaxed presentation. You’ll always walk away from an episode with something helpful or encouraging.
