    Dear Airplane Geeks

    I am a young student pilot and was wondering if you could focus on a little bit more on GA and less on Airliners. (no offence to airline crew).

    Dear Airplane Geeks

    In reference to you last episode (97). When you said that less young people were interested, well me personally I would save work for a month just to fly for 30 min, would not mind getting in $100,000 in debt. It is for the love and the thrill of flying I don’t care about the pay it is worth it.

    Flying is the best thing in the world.

    Hi team, I’ve been listening since I came across The Cranky Flier, and he pointed to Episode 83. I also trade insults with the PCDU Aussies.

    Hate to complain about David’s pronunciation, but the Dambusters are “Six One Seven Squadron”, not a funny-sounding American “Six-Seventeen” – even though the Brits made the BAC One-Eleven.

    Would have loved to have been at Edwards, maybe someday when your laws are friendlier to tourists.

    Keep up the good work.

    ErrolC:

    I once had an online argument with a guy about the plural of the word “aircraft.” Did you see “three aircraft” or “three aircrafts”? He said we should all follow proper English and the plural is “aircraft.” I said, it depends on where you live – there is no one proper English. He started to get a little ugly so I walked away from it.

    That being said, we do have some pronunciation issues on the podcast. David sometimes says things in his own unique way. I get a bit slurry at times. Rob is pretty good, but I’m tempted to some day count the number of times he says “but let’s be serious” in one episode. Dan can talk so fast I have trouble keeping up, let alone monitor the pronunciation!

    Anyway, we get a lot of listener corrections and that’s just fine with me!

    Thanks for the comments, and for thanks for listening. We’re glad you found us. Now, go tell someone else!
