What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Jack, Jeb and Dave are as informative as they are entertaining. Sometimes corny but always enjoyable—this is not a highly produced program but that’s one reason why I like it. I has a genuineness that makes the podcast approachable and authentic. It really is like sticking your head in an open hangar door and joining a chat with a few to old friends that share a love of flying. They discuss current aviation events and developments without trying to be a news program. They bring their professional and personal experience to the mix: Jack is a private pilot, Jeb and Dave have more credentials and have written about aviation for decades. A refreshing note on the series is they don’t pretend to know everything—I know, hard to believe they’re pilots! “That’s enough talking, let’s go flying.”

ATLav8r · Dec 2021

This is the podcast version of Saturday afternoon hanger discussion that centers on aviation but ranges around a variety of other subjects. Like any group of well-informed people the discussion can hit on the various topics of the day. Generally I like to hear the takes that Jack, Dave, and Jeb have on things. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I don’t. But their approach to the topics are useful to hear and can be informative. They’re never dismissive. Dave and Jeb are particularly solid in their background in aviation, and Jack’s up on current tech. Jack also keeps the discussion moving too. You can hear the friendship in these three guys. It’s always a good listen and I generally learn something.

SiestaTeas · Nov 2019

When I can't fly, for whatever reason, listening to the UCAP Gang is the next best thing. These guys have an infectious love and passion for aviation. This podcast strikes the right balance of news, technique, humor, and "There I was" story telling. Best aviation podcast.

Hangar6 · Oct 2016

This is a great podcast if you want a personalized view of general aviation. It is like listening in in on a conversation between three friends talking about their favorite subject. I really enjoy their conversational style. I’m a retired military pilot and the podcast is really giving me an itch to start flying again. I think that is what is they’re trying to do!

grdavis53 · Feb 2014

This podcast is generally entertaining and often informative. At times it’s the podcast that I love to hate. I usually find myself yelling at the iPhone as one of the three displays some kind of buffoonery at least once per episode, generally the host. Dave and Jeb are up to speed and experienced flyers. Not certain of Jacks real flying experience, but in some ways he appears to be the glue keeping it all together. They can’t seem to resist displaying their political views, generally veiled poorly which I find annoying. That being said, I have listened to each and every episode since the beginning and look forward to each.

GCIDpilot · Oct 2019

Was your favorite tv show 'Beavis and Butthead'? Do you still long for high school parties or the days of frat house fun in college? If so, this podcast is for you! Thrill to the sound of Dave's nasal snorts as he tries to impress with his absurd pronouncements. Laugh at Jeb's joining in with Dave's attempts at bathroom humor. And groan as Jack tries to be the adult in the room. No serious talk here! Let other aviation podcasts hit the high notes, this one captures the low end.
