Great Aviation Podcast!
 Aug 12, 2021
I was skeptical at first. I listen to another similar podcast but after getting past Wheelzs first two episodes (they were a little rough but the guy is just starting what do you expect?) it became really cool. I love it!

Pretty good

I found this podcast from twitter. I followed wheelz page and then found the podcast here! Some times he curses and my kids are around that is the only reason for 4 stars. Besides that its good knowing what goes on with plane mechanics

Description

As an A/P mechanic going on 16 years, I've worked on the largest and most complex aircraft in the world. But the reality of the industry can be surprising and even scary. I talk about the toxic and unsafe culture that aircraft mechanics REALLY deal with. The very things that airlines and aviation companies DON'T want you to know. Prepare yourself. The rabbit hole goes deep. Join me as I give you an inside look into the GOOD the BAD and the UGLY of Aviation Maintenance.
