5 star Review for Flight Safety Detectives

Your breakdown of the Lion Air Max accident has been the best I’ve heard. It’s not about pinning blame. It’s about education and prevention.

“Best show ever on the tube”

“Your analysis of the preliminary report into the Lion Air 610 was brilliant.”

“I enjoy the podcast. As your average passenger it’s a comfort to know that there are people working hard to ensure safety.”

“My favourite channel”

“Your podcasts are fantastic ! It’s really great to hear You and John discussing aviation subjects in such fine detail!”

“Excellent podcasts and detailed information. Keep up the brilliant work. Respect to you both from Scotland.”

Your show is just fantastic. I’m in my 50th year as a pilot, to include missionary flying in Africa, 30 years with American, and still flying a 604. Nothing I listen to can beat the down-to-earth wisdom and insight you guys bring.
