Fly Cool Shit - An Aviation Podcast About Flying Cool Shit

Author: Mark Pollard & Jeff Petrocelli Language: English Episodes: 221
Mark Pollard and Jeff Petrocelli are the hosts of Fly Cool Shit-An Aviation Podcast About Flying Cool Shit, and their enthusiasm is completely contagious. This isn't a dry technical manual or a history lecture, though you'll certainly pick up plenty of knowledge along the way. Instead, it feels like hanging out in a hangar after a great flight, swapping stories with friends who live for the thrill of it. The conversation revolves around the machines and the people who push them to their limits. You'll hear detailed, passionate discussions about aerobatics, the rumble of vintage warbirds, and the innovative world of experimental homebuilt aircraft. Some episodes feature insightful interviews with the pilots who operate these incredible machines, while others are more freewheeling solo rambles from the hosts, diving deep into whatever aviation topic has captured their imagination that week. The entire podcast is built on a shared love for anything that makes you look up and wonder, celebrating the skill, the engineering, and the pure joy found in the cockpit of something extraordinary. It's for anyone who has ever felt that pull skyward, whether you're a seasoned aviator or just someone who appreciates when humans make machines do amazing things.
