  • Add it to the rotation!

    Not a pilot but an aviation lover for my entire life. I started listening to podcasts about 5 years ago and found a bunch that scratched the aviation itch. The Flying Midwest Podcast gives me that touch of news along with really great interviews, all with that great Midwest flavor! Jim, Maddie and Badger make this a must “add it to the rotation” podcast!

    We also have an active Discord to plan spontaneous flyouts and meetups, and further discussion ... more
