Customer Reviews
Great Podcast!
Derek clearly has a passion for aviation and a great voice to share it! With a wide range of topics, from personal to professional, it's a great listen at the desk or in the car. As a pilot, it's right up my alley and is one of the few aviation related podcasts that can keep my attention. DK has a fantastic ability to break down complex aeronautical topics in a way that non-aviation nerds can understand. I have high hopes for the future and look forward to future episodes!
Good podcast but......
Great podcast for anybody interested in aviation but Derek Vento seems like he’s the kind of guy who, on a slow Saturday night, would go to Chick-fli-a and get milkshakes for everybody on the A-line wall while purposefully excluding the C-line guys.
Nothing Like It!!
A much needed refreshing take to aviation by an actual active Air Traffic Controller in the field giving insight to the different facets of the aviation industry. The Host Derek (Delta Kilo) delivers thoughtful personal interviews with great new guests every week. Keep up the awesome pod!
