for months i've been searching for a show like this!!!! thank you soo much!!!! the podcasts are awesome and look forward to seeing more of these!!!!!

"Second time's the charm right?" "...then they waved me off because I was too clo-" "THIRD TIME" Comedy gold

IMHO a fighter pilot is primarily an attitude with a mix of these components ; intelligence, confidence, thick skin, humility, discipline, attention to detail, risk acceptance, dedication to mission, work ethic, and willingness to instruct. - These qualities are common in Type A folks and necessary for success in flying fighters. - Have met a few folks flying fighters who are not fighter pilots and some support officers who are ground-based fighter pilots. My nickle on the grass 😁 Cheers, Shamu USAF Lt Col (ret.) 2,500+ Eagle hours

Great talk. I love podcasts like this. Just casual and deliver information and experiences. I am too old to join the military let alone becoming a fighter pilot but it's always fun to relive people's lives that I find interesting.

Love this podcast, glad to be near the ground floor of it!

Hi. Great show. I have listened to a number of your Podcasts on various aircraft types over the last few months. I have now started playing catch up from the very start / early episodes. Is a great way to make a long drive to & from work feel enjoyable as I'm an admirer of all Military Aircraft dating back to WW2 to the modern age. You've had some great guests on. Cheers

This podcast is great thank you! I just found it but I've found where all my questions can find an answer.

Just found this thanks to covert cabal and am hooked. Really love the setup and structure!

There's a big difference between someone who flies fighters and a fighter pilot. BTW, that's a nice thumbnail of the Shrikes' Legacy

I always find fighter pilots to be very even keeled, personality wise. They don't seem petty or angry, and seem to take things in stride. I always find it interesting how a guy who's a Commander and maybe in charge of a squadron can be such a nice guy. I would expect someone in that position to be a hardass more often than not.

Love this!

Hey Jello, love the series dude... Do fighter jets face wing icing the same way that other aircraft do? Or do they have some type of measure to counter it? Keep up the good work!!

Opening intro VFA-94 Shrikes...Awesome

Once upon a Time.... Many thanks for this Jell-O.Hugely informative, as usual. Really, I should have been more organised with my youtube research and started my fast jet self-education here, instead of bouncing around all over the place. Just one question, ( hope you don't mind me asking, I'm trying to write a novel!) I appreciate that everyone's different, but are all fighter pilots to a man/woman supremely and overtly confident, or is it possible to exude just a generally understated confidence that commands just as much respect as those who are a bit ' in your face' so to speak? Thanks once again.

are there no air conditioners in the jets???

First relisten, keem e'm comi'n Jell'O!👍

Can anyone answer. Does VFA-94 still have SHWFOTS or HOBO on the leading edge fence?

Mighty Strikes 🖒

Has there ever been pilots that are good pilots and can fly safe and professional but may have trouble with the boat? As in allowed to continue training but possibly take a land based track (P-8, E-6, etc...). Or are those type of students filtered out of the training earlier in the training track?.....or sent to the Air Force!!

First!

Why bother putting aircrew’s names on them at all ?

If a person Identify as pilot I have to respect their pronouns

“Sunshine”.....S-3.......you are dating your self.....sorry!!!
