    Love the show!!
    So, my kryptonite is maintenance, but after finding your show, I have a new interest. The three of you complement each other so well, and I have learned so much from listening! I have quite a few back recordings to catch up on, but thankfully, I have an hour commute to work. Thank you for what you do! Plus, now I have a few books I need to order thanks to Mike!

    I don’t even own a Plane!
    I visited a man couple weeks ago with my friends and some young kids he was a great guy. I’ve always been obsessed with planes and he always was patient with the kids I was with and their questions.But to be completely honest, I can’t afford a plane, even so, I still love listening to the podcast!

    Great Resource for New Pilots and Owners
    I passed my PPL check ride and purchased a plane less than a year ago. Mike, Paul, and Colleen, have been extremely helpful for movitaing me to find an owner maintenance-friendly IA, install an engine monitor, and fly LOP. I look forward to each new episode!

    Informative and entertaining!
    Colleen, Paul, and Mike have created one of my favorite podcasts — I look forward to each monthly installment (and wish it was more frequent!). Thank you very much.
  • Chad Nordberg
    Fantastic information!
    Invaluable information for anyone that fly’s or owns an airplane! I only wish we could search for clips based on keywords to go back and listen to the part of an episode pertinent to whatever is going on currently with your airplane. Mike has an excellent audiobook as well and can’t wait for his other books to be released in audio format as well. Keep up the great work everyone! Mike, Paul and Colleen are all an amazing source of information and collective experience!!

    I am not an A&P mechanic, but I do tinker with things and enjoy listening to this while I work in my garage.

    Great info, entertaining!
    I’m an A&P, IA with over 10 years experience: Airlines, GA, and Flight testing. I learned a lot on just this first episode, while being thoroughly entertained. Add a few laughs and this might become the ‘Car Talk’ of aviation! Keep ‘em coming!
