  1. Looking for the other aviation related podcasts referenced in your most recent podcast. Been hooked on aviation ever since my dad took me to air shows in the 1960s. Made a career in military aviation, still working as a support contractor in logistics.
    Thoroughly enjoy each and every show!
    Thanks
