The perfect questions with amazing guests and the perfect balance of humor, seriousness, and technical knowledge. Thank you so much for bringing these stories to life and brightening my days at work. I aspire to be like the heroes on this show.

The best aviation pod in my opinion. Steve has a great way of keeping the conversation very casual a which makes for easy listening. It’s first pod I check every day to see if there’s something new out.

Hands down best aviation podcast.

Steve and his guests are an absolute treasure! Must-listen content if you have any interest in military aviation..

Stevie does an outstanding and respectful, job of interviewing ex military pilots. Terrific guests and gripping stories. Sometimes humorous but always genuine.

You’ve kept me company on many airplane rides and solo car trips. What you’re doing is amazing.

I enjoy a number of aviation and military oriented podcast. However, this is by far my new favorite (after listening to 20+ shows) The content and presentation is exceptional. It’s great to have the broad viewpoint of the always dangerous star baby. Congratulations on an outstanding work

Thanks so much for these rare jewels. So informative. I love it. Great podcast. Keep it up. Really love learning about Paco. What a great American. Thoroughly enjoyed pt 1 & 2 along with ask Starbaby and starbaby AMA. I would like to add thanks for covering the recent MIG 23 crash (2023) and having the expertise of MiG flying test pilots on to clarify a few things.

Steve is an excellent host- selects fascinating guests, gently steers the conversations artfully with insightful questions, then let’s his consistently interesting guests tell their stories. Can’t beat it.

Steve is really great interviewer a gentle touch that guides not steers and never makes the story about himself. Really enjoy these. You really learn a lot of institutional knowledge. So much pilot “inside baseball” in every episode.

No frills. Quality stories. Love some star baby!

Best aviation podcast!

Great military aviation podcast. Davies is a knowledgeable and thoughtful interviewer who gives his guests the room to tell their stories and talk about their aircraft without needless interruption.

Just a wonderful podcast. Fantastic guests, great interview style.

A constantly relevant, professional and entertaining podcast. Well researched with great guests.

My brother was a Viper driver and my hero; we lost BA to cancer in 2015 and this wonderful podcast allows me to hear similar stories and even a few that he may have been there for. Keep up the great work and let’s hear some more from the F-16 community! Brian.

Been listening to several military aviation podcasts and stumbled onto this! Wowsers! It’s great, lots of very interesting information. Asks great questions of guests that answer us non pilot questions! Sometimes shows hosted by retired fighter pilots gloss over many details they assume we now, this guy nails it!

I love listening to all the stories and trying to understand all the technology involved in modern aircraft.

Insightful and deeply engaging interviews

10/10 just listened to the tomcat sunset, great show plenty of depth

Thoroughly enjoyed listening my brothers talk about F-15E in Desert Storm!!! Many more stories need to be captured before the are lost!!! A shot of Weed for all!!!

If you like The Fighter Pilot Podcast, but find yourself wanting to hear more of the pilot’s unique stories and opinions on the aircraft, this is the one for you. Just discovered it two weeks ago and can’t get enough. Great quality content.

Refreshing perspective of content that has been covered some in other podcasts. Great show, keep it up!

Great stories pulled out of the hearts of people who have faced some of the most extreme human experiences and come out on the other side, still human. Tremendously humane interviewer disarms interviewee and listener alike.

While there are a good number of podcasts interviewing aircraft pilots and WSOs, this podcast has the benefit of a professional journalist posing the questions, listening carefully and following up on responses. The longer than typical format helps as well. Bravo!

This is the real deal. These interviews are as close as you can get. SD has a working knowledge of facts and lore that he applies to the discussion to provide an in depth view into the abyss of these subjects. Simply amazing.

Great stories, thanks for telling them!

Growing up on USAF bases military aviation has always been fascinating to me. If you’re interested in aviation at all, this is the show you don’t want to miss.

The most informative and comprehensive podcast on the subject, bar none!

Great Stuff!!

Probably the best collection of interviews of the most significant modern fighters, bombers, and the historic events they took part in. The YouTube channel is also fantastic.

I enjoy listening to the stories and how the pilots stories flow naturally, not forced

This is an absolutely great podcast. The host really cares about the topic and skillfully facilitates making his guests and their stories the stars. There are many podcasts out there- this one is worth the time!

First class and sets a high bar in terms of detail/QA.

This podcast sets a gold standard for interviews with military pilots. I've listened to a dozen guests and they have all been fascinating. Professional discussions, great questions and many of the interviews are 3 or 4 parts of over an hour each. Top notch program if you are interested in military aviation past or present.

Unlike some other popular fighter aviation podcast, which sound downright goofy and like they’re meant for high school freshmen, 10 Percent True is truly in a league of it’s own! It’s like the adults are finally in charge again. Eloquently narrated and of a subject nature that actually entertains both my inner child and inner nerd.

Incredible oral histories from people flying a wide variety of aircraft. Sometimes you hear things contrary to what you thought you knew about an airplane and you have to consider that what you’re hearing are memories of actual experiences and worthy of credence.

Always fun so far. Listening to stories like these bring back so many good memories from my time on the F-16. Can’t wait for the next episodes. Great work

Awesome guests on this one. Very technical at times. Interviewer asks some very good questions.

Any lover of aviation will love these discussions. The guests have such interesting and involved lives in aviation, and their stories are inspiring, funny, and truly interesting to listen to. The accompanying YouTube series is worth the watch as well, as there is a lot of related video to see related to the guest’s experiences, most notably the Constant Peg program. Unlike a lot of interview style podcasts, Steve Davies understands to remove himself from the scenario. He will ask relevant and fun questions to draw the most out of the guest, but doesn’t have the need to interject himself into the conversation multiple times. Definitely worth the listen. The only issue, and it’s minor in the grand scheme of it, is that sometimes the episodes appear out of order. You may want to double check that you’re listening to them in order. Otherwise two thumbs way up for sure.
