About this listen

Vapor and Cuckoo are former military pilots and current advanced flight instructors who rant about issues they see in General Aviation and provide solutions on how to do better. Pete "Vapor" Reddan is retired Air Force Pilot having flown the KC-10, T-6 and C-17. Mike "Cuckoo" Kloch is a retired US Marine Pilot who flew the F-18. Both logged combat sorties over Iraq and/or Afghanistan an they apply their unique perspectives to General Aviation Training to help better the community. Sometimes we even highlight the good stuff in General Aviation. This is not instructional, it's entertainment, it is our opinion. Go find a local CFI and give them your money to be a better pilot.
