About this listen

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!

  • Boom Supersonic: Flight Testing the XB-1

    Boom Supersonic: Flight Testing the XB-1
    Jul 8 2025

    In the early 2000s, Tesla upended the automotive industry with its ground-breaking electric vehicles and recharging network. Twenty years later, Boom Supersonic is attempting to do the same in the airline industry—will it work?

    On this episode, Tristan Brandenberg and Nick Sheryka join guest host Ken Katz to discuss Boom Supersonic's ambitious initiative to return supersonic airline travel, including creating all-new aircraft, engines, and supporting network. That begins with flight testing the one-off XB-1 technology demonstrator to prove supersonic overland travel can be nonintrusive to the underlying populace.

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.

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.

I love This podcast

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!
