  • Summary

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

  • "Lombers" talks CRM, from the Hornet to the Airlines

    "Lombers" talks CRM, from the Hornet to the Airlines
    Nov 4 2024

    Crew Resource Management is the "effective use of all available resources for flight crew personnel to assure a safe and efficient operation, reducing error, avoiding stress and increasing efficiency." (skybrary.aero)

    But is all CRM the same? How does it differ from, say, a Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 to an unmanned aerial system to Boeing 737?

    On this episode, Paul "Lombers" Lombardi, who has flown all of the above, joins guest host Paul "Tremors" Tremelling to discuss CRM and so much more.

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.

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.

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!
