    Great podcast about gliding!
    Really enjoy the variety of guest and stories. Also look forward to the soaring master segments. It makes my day when a new episode shows up in my feed.
  • Drone451
    Great podcast!
    I’m an airline pilot with a glider back ground. I haven’t flown a glider in almost 20 years. This podcast has really brought me back and has me considering get back involved with the SSA.
  • Kagen Teets
    Great podcast !
    Awesome podcast, got to meet him as well and he was very nice and was awesome to sit down and talk with ! Definitely recommend the podcast to anyone !
  • N1lul
    Really great for everyone.
    I fly radio control sailplanes, but I love this podcast. Partially because I am a aviation nut, but mostly because I always lean something that will make me a better RC pilot.
  • scvihlen
    Podcast
    I learned about the podcast from this months Soaring magazine. 👍
  • Check_Wheels_Down
    What Soaring Needs!
    As a glider instructor getting back into soaring after some years away, this podcast is a treasure trove of stories and experience. Whether you're a student about to solo or a seasoned pilot, there's something you can take away. Keep up the good work Chuck!
  • prartree
    Great Podcast!
    I’m relatively new to the world of soaring and I really appreciate the diversity of both guests and topics discussed in this podcast. Chuck has a friendly, uncomplicated approach to podcasting that makes it easy to listen to and digest.
  • Amazing to the moon haha
    Interviews keep getting better !
    Seems like quality of guests and interview questions are getting better as chuck goes along ! Chuck how about a “soaring tips” segment ?? Specific advice that pilots want give about soaring or technique ??
  • McSchweizer
    Hopeful
    I’m so happy there is a podcast dedicated specifically to gliding and sailplanes. Finally! But I feel that this podcast is lacking good banter and in-depth questions. It doesn’t really keep a listener hooked. I still listen to hear the stories from all the amazing pilots. I’m hopeful this podcast will improve! 🤞🏼 Check out Cloud Base Mayhem for a pilot’s podcast that keeps one engaged.

    Fills a missing piece in the aviation podcast pantheon
    Nicely done, sir! Fun to hear other pilots taking and I enjoy hearing their origin stories. If you get a chance, there are some fascinating glider pilots here in MN, who I am pretty sure would make for some interesting interview subjects: From a prolific glider handbook writer, to a hall of famer, to a Barron Hilton cup participant.
  • Houzzer4life
    Keep them coming!
    Absolutely love this podcast. So much info here to keeping me fresh and these pilots do not disappoint with their stories and experiences. Thanks Chuck for bringing us great pilots and great information. Can’t wait until the next one!
  • Tom-cat222
    Great to have a soaring podcast
    Kudos for starting this podcast. There is no shortage of great pilots to interview, that we can all learn from. Soaring is such an under rated and unknown sport, this is a good place to explain what it's all about. The first few shows were a good start, looking forward to more.
  • Bobbi1962
    Soaring the Sky is awesome!
    Today I listened for the first time and binge listened! Chuck and his guest never lost my interest for a single minute! Hope to hear more!
