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!

    And absolutely unbelievable view into this somewhat veiled world. If you’ve ever wanted to, had dreams of, or even just had a slight curiosity, just push play. I hope you’re not busy for a couple hundred episodes worth of time!!!

    Best Military Podcast out there
    I love hearing all the different voices each episode and how they all embarked on their journey to be a fighter pilot or other important duties that relate to serving the country. My favorite was the episode with Gil Rud.

    I subscribe for aviation content
    I don’t listen to hear the glorification of the Israeli military! Maybe I’m not the audience this content that’s fair. But I’m a long time listener who comes for the aviation related content. If wanted to know about the Israeli military I could look at the news any day the last six months and likely will be able to for the next year. I wish safety and security to all service members of all countries, but because they are all every day citizens of the place put into conflict, But maybe just keep it aviation!

  • Mars Explore
    Exciting and Super Educational
    I personally skipped the military and went from high school into the work force. I wished I had a do over on that but I’m age 69 now so no can do. But This podcast really brings the excitement and joy of all of these military heroes. Pilots, Mechs, REOs, and all of the stories of military life. I feel like I lived a little bit of the military life after listening to each podcast.

    Wonderful guests, thoughtful host
    Even without a great deal of aviation knowledge, one can enjoy Jello’s story telling and superb interviewing skills. I’ve been a fan for years, and my kids like to listen as well.

    As a civilian, i find these shows so fascinating. I had the luxury of participating in a FAM flight and this really answers a lot of my questions and curiosity.

    This review is different…
    Most reviews are,” BEST THING EVER! LISTEN NOW!!” However, this podcast hits different for me. My grandfather died in active service flying a P-38 mustang he was shot down in world war 2 . He dreamt about future fighter planes and he always joked about F-18’s. The last joke he ever made was “ I love jello! If I ever get a good old hornet, that’s what I’ll name it. But I won’t make it out of jello that would be bad” that was the last time I ever saw him. Hearing Vincent talk about jets makes me remember him and I’m laughing along, commenting and joking just like I did with him. That’s what makes me give this five stars. It just brings back happy memories.

    Amazing
    I am really looking forward to listening to more podcasts! I want to become a fighter pilot, and go into the navy! I also realized that my dream can come true, because I want to apply to the ROTC program, and go to UCLA!!! I also want to be so good, the top 1% and go to TOPGUN! You made me realize that I can achieve my dream! Even as a girl! Thank you!

    Amazing Podcast!
    Just wanted to say that I really love listening to your podcast and it's really incredible what you do. All the stories that are shared are so intriguing, even though I still have a lot more episodes to listen to! I'm hoping to become a naval aviator myself one day, and you're a huge inspiration to me. I'd like to thank you for that. Hope you are doing amazing Sir :)
  • luke Symon

    As a 14 year old, this podcast inspires me and encourages me to try to become a military pilot. Even so I am in the process of training for a pilots license. Keep producing awesome videos and have a wonderful life!

    The best in the business
    I’ve listened to every one of the episodes, and have never had the urge to turn one off. Jell-o’s real world experience along with the expertise of his guest is in my opinion, unmatched in military aviation podcasting.
  • Skinnybones6551

    Great podcasts
    As someone who’s interested in fighter jets and the mostly importantly the people, this is fantastic. Love to hear the stories and discussions.
  • Ethan M. C
    Inspiring, Interesting, and Recommended!
    My passion to become a Navy Fighter Pilot was inspired and as I listened to each episode my passion grew as well as my aviation knowledge. Thank you so much for something to listen to every morning and night. I know it was a long journey to get to this point, but it paid off. Thank You, Jell-o!

    Anyone with a small interest in aviation and the stories of veterans needs to check this out. I first came upon this after the excitement of Top Gun. Which were fantastic insights. Then, I saw that they had some of my favorite warbirds. I’ve come to learn about a ton of other planes. The hosts have a great format, discussing the history and current impact of the platform. Then they chat about specific personal stories and even how they received their call signs. My favorites: B-17 P-51 MIG-29 (Need more foreign birds!) B-2 P-3 & P-8 (They made a 737 interesting!)
  • Rob at work
    Lots of better ones than this.
    I keep going back to this podcast and being disappointed. For example they spent 1 hour on the Falklands War with a Sea Harrier pilot, hardly any detail and just no depth. It’s like they’re in a rush to quit. 10% True is way better, Movers channel is way better, even Aircrew Interview is better than this.
  • Drake Morgan
    You guys rock
    I’m only 11 years old and I love fighter jets you guys really upgraded my understanding of the f18 and other jets
  • Jon 000001
    Thank you!
    I’m alive today and have a family because of CAS. I was ‘the 18 year old with a gun’, well, early 20’s but still a kid. Everything changed after combat and I’m still working through stuff. FPP is a great distraction to put my mind in a different place. Two decades later it’s still CAS but in a different way.
  • Autosleeper
    Brilliant
    Thank you so much for this podcast. The show is very well put together with a variety of content and guests. I am not a pilot but I have always loved military aircraft and enjoy a lot of the technical descriptions as well as the flight tactics. Potential interesting ideas for shows( I am sure you aren’t short on content): What will the 6th gen fighters look like for each branch of the service? What is space force? What does the next gen bomber look like? Is there a super a-10 in the works? What does that look like? Why did the super tomcat 21 never come out- it had supercruise and thrust vectoring. What happened? Carrier landing gear versus regular gear Differences in light carriers and super carriers? - how does their mission differ? How are the aircraft different Defenses of a super carrier Next gen Battleships to defend carriers? Is that a thing, I keep reading about it here and there. These are just some of the things that may be interesting. I have more but you do such a great job. The show is so interesting and so much appreciated. Please send me some sponsorship information so I can see how that works. Also I echo the listener that said we appreciate you, your guests and the integrity of the content of this show. Please release them at your own pace. While it is fascinating it isn’t your day job and we are all happy to have you ( and sunshine, if he’s available) doing it. Thank you again. Best, Matt

    Great stuff.
    Jello et al have a great thing going. Really enjoy the sea stories, which bring back my own memories of being at sea and squadron life (E-2 NFO, Midway/Indy, Desert Storm, etc.). BZ and keep at it.
  • cbspock

    Closest to being a Fighter Pilot
    Great podcast. Always wanted to be a pilot, but never had the info to pursue. If this podcast was around back in the early 2000s I would have joined. Very informative with good stories too. A must listen!
