  • Summary

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

    World Flight Centennial, 1 of 3 - Build Up
    Sep 16 2024

    Hold on to your derby, for the rest of September we mix up the usual FPP format and give you a three-part series describing the first aerial circumnavigation of the globe--the 1924 World Flight.

    Guest host Matt "Flounder" Arny welcomes Rob Crotty, Mike Lockwood, and Lance "Boil" Lewis to tell the story of this epic odyssey not just against Mother Nature but five other countries.

    On this first episode, we explore the intricate details behind the scenes—covering route selection, aircraft development, pilot and mechanic selection, and the competitive international teams racing to be first. Drawing from historical sources like First World Flight by Lowell Thomas, Around the World in 175 Days by Carroll Glines, and First Flight Around the World by Tim Grove, this episode sets the stage for an epic journey that showcases the determination, resilience, and diplomacy that made the flight possible.

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!
