“I have enjoyed your show for the past 6 months or so. I've been catching up on all the episodes while driving, especially since it beats what is on the radio. So I want you all to know that it has been your encouragement and moral support that I am going to go back and start trying again. I grew up with stories from my dad about wanting to compete his private license. He worked at Cessna in Wichita and later at Strother Field (KWLD). But I came along and 2 years later so did my brother. Cessna closed the Strother Field plant and dad was working swing shift at a refinery and running his own business to boot. Flying was always a wonder to me and a curosity and took my first flight at the age of 26. I then quickly learned I could not afford the lessons and stopped just after completing ground school. In 1999 I moved to Florida and got enrolled in a flight school right before 9/11. That tragedy along with losing my job with the aftermath killed that dream. Fast forward to 2014 and it was the same story, but with a family involved this time and my own kids that were into competition cheer, scouting, and 4-H all while running a couple businesses, time became the factor and I stopped again.
So, it probably sounds like I am a quitter, but I am proud to say that my son just complete his private pilot certificate on 7/25/24. And has decided to become a professional pilot. My son took his first “passenger” up and it was my brother, then me and finally he took my wife (after much convincing as she hears the podcasts as well and worries about all the planes and what can happen).
So I hired a CFI and start all over once again. This time to completion, and I owe this renewal of strength to you all. The fire has been reignited and I truly enjoy your show, encouragement, and banter. Thanks for taking time to put this podcast together and share it with the world.”Read full review »

“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 »

“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 »
