  • Best podman
    An above the layer podcast!
    Mark has a really good show here. It’s a great mix of military aviation, life lessons, motivational material and history. A must listen for anyone interested in any or all of what I mentioned. If you’re prior USAF like me & now a Civil Aviation professional some, of the names and voices of guests you hear will be familiar, and even some of them that have moved onto the civilian world you may know too… Great stuff here ! - Mike “HAP” Arnold
