The BEST bumper in the business full stop. Love the topics and Rain is a great host.

Great podcast! Enjoyable and informative for operators, maintainers, and aircraft enthusiasts.

I have been listening for just this past season, but am really liking the tone and insight of aviator/pilots of different branches and their procedure and stories. Keep it up!

Keep up the great work Rain.

Rain, Absolutely great podcast. Keep up the great work

Very good !

Can’t get enough of this podcast! As A current enlisted member of AFE in an F-16 unit and aspiring fighter pilot, I find it helpful and inspiring. My heart and prayers are with MEZr’s family and squadron. Great work Rain!

I’m blowing through these too quick. Bring “Tuna” back for some more stories. “How many traps do you have?” “Well over a hundred”. Nice work, Rain.

Listened to every episode from the beginning. Was turned on to the show through the fighter pilot podcast. The latest show which was a review of a fatal viper crash was very different than the standard show but I enjoyed it a lot. Would be interested in hearing more shows like it of other incidents or even successful missions

Rain never fails to deliver interesting guests who have great stories and experiences. The podcast is long enough to get the good stuff but short enough to avoid boring. Also, he and his guests do a great job of breaking down the jargon so us civilians can understand. Hard to wait for the next episode!

Love listening to this podcast. Very well done! Informative and entertaining ! Keep up the good work Rain!

Really terrific podcast for the aviation enthusiast & wannabe pilots.

Love the show, love the intro track. I really enjoy your guests and your interview style-keep at it!

Great podcast for the military aviation enthusiast. Basically the air force version of the Fighter Pilot Podcast.

Thank you for the awesome podcasts! I enjoy the content and learning about the paths your guests have taken to become pilots. It is an inspiration for others.

If you have a passion for aviation you will enjoy this podcast

Keep the podcasts coming. Interviews and guests have been great! They keep me occupied during the early morning hours of the MEM outbound.

This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. A must listen for any aviation enthusiast!

Rain, Juice here...”Viper” from the ‘13-14 sequestration years. Just listened to your episode with Tuna. Took me back to the Heritage days. He’s a great pilot and better human! The stories, the banter, and the Air Force literal Heritage that you’re preserving by having them tell these stories is awesome. For all those listeners out there that have never flown fighters (or any Air Force aircraft for that matter) this podcast gets you as close as you can without inking to serve and getting lucky enough to fly fighters! Keep up the great work Rain! Awesome job! I’m rubbing an ROTC Det right now and sit in my office just wanting one more flight!!

Great podcaster with interesting and intriguing guests thanks Rainn!

Keep up the good work! 👍🏼👍🏼

The Afterburn Podcast is a must listen for any aviation/ military enthusiast! “Rain” and guests provide unique and insightful perspectives on a range of interesting topics. Definitely not weak!

Anyone interested in hearing about military aviation and or more importantly listening to some of the best people America has to offer check this out!

Outstanding podcast for anybody interested in military aviation. Superb content.

I have been listening ever since my oldest son (14) said he wants to fly jets. Giving him the opportunity to get is PPL and help him realize his dream and aspirations, not surprised as Grandpa was a Crewchief on the c47 sky train during DDay & Crewchief on B29’s during bombing of Japan. After the war Dad flew pipers for fun on weekends Much success to you and your team on this podcast. & Thankyou for your service! Frank A.

I swear the interview in episode 19 sounded like Seth Rogen. I’d think I was in for a wild ride if I was in a Southwest Airlines plane and he came on the PA and chuckled his was through the announcements.

Love the podcast also find rainwaters27 on TikTok for some cool vids.

Author has a nack for finding great subects.

With so many aviation podcasts out there you need to draw the line somewhere, right? Well, sorry, this one needs to be included as well. The human aspect of the stories and the detail given make this podcast a must listen.

The podcast features exceptional guests and it’s great to be able to hear some of these stories that you’d never hear about otherwise. He also has a few “famous” guests and it’s insightful to hear the stories you think you know, but in great detail from the people who were actually there. The production and sound quality are excellent as well. Keep up the great work Sir!

Combine amazing real life stories, supercool military aviation hardware, and lessons about peak performance and life’s challenges, and you have Rain’s awesome podcast. Keep it up, loving every episode. LH

Thanks for the podcast.

I love the stories. These guests are great role models.

Super pleased with the podcast. Learning a ton, laughing along the way. Wish the format was longer. I really enjoy the technical aspect of it, and the small details on what it is actually like to pilot these beasts. Keep it going and make the format longer!

Gets off to a somewhat choppy start regarding audio quality. But the information presented here will probably be used by future historians.

As a former sailor that launched planes off of an aircraft carrier I love all things aviation but especially military jets. I really enjoy this podcast, I would like an explanation on the abbreviations or what a bunch of capital letters stand for. Also how did the pilot earn his nickname? Keep the great podcasts coming!

As an aspiring fighter pilot it gives me a small look into a day in the life and besides my flight lessons it’s the best part of my day !

I love seeing people I know pop up on an awesome podcast with great interviews and insights.

Great podcast with amazing vintner! I met you at Oshkosh and it was an honor to do so. Jeep yo the good work! God Bless!

Great content, motivational and inspiring. Interviews are top notch! Highly recommend.

Rain, great work with the podcast. It’s awesome to listen to your guests share their stories. Keep up the good work!

Great job Rain with the interviews and helping your guests tell their stories. I especially enjoyed the Caleb Brewer episode- what a great American warrior. And it was fun listening to you and MG talk about air shows, Red Bull races, and the demo flight you gave him. I flew a few air shows with him and he’s a class act. Keep up the good work!

Every episode has a great story and connects with the theme of overcoming obstacles. Rain has interesting guests with compelling stories that keep you tuned in and eager for the next episode.

Listed to the episode with Tally - very informative, and Rain is a great host. I've known Rain for a few years and he is very knowledgable and personable - a perfect fit for hosting a podcast like this. Now I need to listen to the rest!

Totally immersed with my first episode, Episode 8. So humbled by our service members. Not really a podcaster listener, but that just changed.

This is the military aviation podcast I have been wanting for. Rain is a humble, approachable, and credible host. He is telling the stories and lining up the information that us going into military aviation. Thanks for what you are doing sir 🙏🏻 Chris

Great shows so far. Balanced with technical and personal info. The passion comes through.

Great content here! Excellent insight into some of the most interesting careers in the USAF. Genuine conversations between the host and guests and many lessons learned for those trying to pursue a career in the Air Force as an aviator.

For those that have enjoyed Rains videos on Instagram, this podcast takes it to the next level. #949designs #familyfirst #dontbringitweak #merica

I have to disagree with sal on the "rambling” aspect. If you want a classroom style podcast, the fighter pilot is great. But as far as listening to stories and finding out what the individuals feel is important information. This is spot on.
