  • Summary

  • 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!

  • FPP197 - The F-22 Raptor Demo Team
    Oct 21 2024

    Few aircraft put on an aerial demonstration quite like the U.S. Air Force's premiere fighter, the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor

    The F-22 Raptor Demo Team performed at the MCAS Miramar airshow one weekend in late September 2024 and then came to the FPP studios the following Monday. Hear from the demonstration pilot and senior enlisted leader what it is like to travel to locations far and wide to put on this amazing performance--including a play-by-play of each aerial maneuver.

  • OFW-7: Surface Combatants
    Oct 14 2024

    'On Future War' is a 12-part series exploring the evolving landscape of military strategy and defense technologies with a focus on the Indo-Pacific.

    This episode addresses the U.S. Navy's challenges to project power in a potential "away game" conflict. Following the Cold War, surface ship design changed radically. Revolutionary concepts were introduced including the Zumwalt destroyer and Littoral Combat Ship. When technology didn’t work the only way to pay for fixes in the Global War on Terror era was to retire existing hulls and cut back on ship building. This has led to closure of public and private shipyards, limiting our capacity to build ships and grow the fleet.

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!
