  • Summary

  • The Fighter Pilot Podcast explores the fascinating world of air combat: the aircraft, the weapons systems, and most importantly—the people.

    Episodes typically feature guests who help explain various military aviation-themed topics, such as how ejection seats work or what it's like to fly on and off nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

    If you love the roar of a high-speed flyby or are enamored by the poise and confidence of the brave men and women who fly, fix, and fight these aircraft, then this show is for you!

  • FPP188 - All about NFOs

    Most people can readily explain what a pilot is and does, but what about a Radar Intercept Officer, Bombardier / Navigator, or Tactical Coordinator?

    On this episode, FPP friend and occasional cohost Matt "Flounder" Arny, former RIO-turned WSO, explains the world of Naval Flight Officers--what they are, how they're trained, what they do, and how far up the promotion ladder they can go.

I love This podcast

Listen to this podcast if you can't not look up at a plane going by...or your currently playing Ace Combat 7

First off Jello Is a great host and he manages to bring in great guests who have usually flow the plane in question or done the Mission. This is a podcast for military aviation nerds. Jello walks the line between dumbing things down too much and not explaining something obscure.

Not all the guests are as entertaining and sometimes you can tell that he doesn't have an no kidding studio. But he knows that and I think he's making strides to fix it. If I had one worry it would be that eventually we are gonna run out of airplanes to talk about.

Excellent l!!!

Absolutely love this, my step grandpa was a chief quality engineer on the A-5, and I grew up listening to stories from my dad about the aircraft flying from the North American plant in Ohio.

The best

As a former rotary pilot that always had a fascination with all things jets and flying this is the best! Nothing beats all the first hand accounts. Jello is an incredible host and the guests are epic and as varied as you can hope for. Best of all Jello absolutely does answer you send in and personally responds to emails etc!
