Love this show! I’m an avgeek so this pod is perfect for me.

Awesome guest and story- consider having him on a bro chat???

Too many commercials!

Easy 5 stars. I love completely love the podcast also military aviation!

Thanks for the great podcast.

great listening

Muddy/rain is an awesome host. Love the podcast bro!

Listen about every day as I work my way through all the past episodes. The bro chats are a great listen and funny how relatable they are to civilian life. Some really fantastic individual interviews. Highly recommend.

This is a long time coming and I just wanted to say thank you for creating the link between civilians and military aviation. Rain and the bros are giving mil personnel a chance to tell and document their stories. Whether it’s day to day stuff or an engines out and jettisoning weapons to crawl home story. I deeply admire the courage of these guys and gals. Just think, these stories will be heard for generations and hopefully centuries to come. Not everyone wants to write a book but they will sit down for an interview, so a story that was originally left for friends and family, can now be shared with us. I’ll say the same for the other military aviation podcasts as well. Thank you guys.

If you love aviation, pilot or not, you are missing out if you are not listening to this podcast. The focus is military, but even if your interest is commercial or general aviation, you will find it engaging. The guests are not limited to fighter jocks. In fact, some of the best episodes are with transport pilots. Many of the guests have and discuss flying experience outside of the military as well. Must-have subscription for any flying-nerd.

I love this Podcast and look forward to new episodes!! Definitely a 5 out of 5!!! Keep up the bro chats!!!

This is really awesome!! Thank you.

As a current airline pilot I always love listening in and learning more about the aviation community. The content and stories are fascinating. It will make you appreciate what these folks do day in and day out for our country!

Rain has done an incredible job on this podcast! Thoroughly enjoy listening to every episode! Keep up the great work Rain!

Thanks for providing relevant content. Keep up the great work!

Too political.

This is a setup for failures. Garbage podcasts. Garbage stories. The stories are not good at all. Move on. Go find “10% percent true”. The podcast here. Is garbage. No meat. Boring. So boring. So so siooo boring. Garbage

I am a combat veteran and I enjoy your show. I am proud that people have the opportunity to hear these Hero's stories. Thank you.

This podcast is for anyone interested in a military flying career or anyone who enjoys the military. I cant get enough! I listen while I work and absolutely love it.

This podcast is great for anyone interested in military aviation!

The Afterburn podcast is one of those shows where I can’t wait for the next episode to drop. I especially look forward to the “Bro Chats”…even though they are bursting with acronyms and initials I have to look up later. If you like military aviation shows, Rain’s Afterburn is always entertaining. I’d give it 6- stars if I could.

Love the story telling and the documentation of history. The podcasts are fascinating as well as addictive. Full of facts and significant historical dates and accurate info on the topics discussed.Thanks for telling us these stories that we otherwise wouldn’t have heard about. These stories are extremely important and valuable to our nation for history as well as the younger generation so they will know how important joining our military forces are.

Always a great podcast. Rain’s podcast brings you into a whole new perspective when talking to other fellow aviators. Highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed

I first saw a clip on TikTok. I then looked it up on here and have been listening ever since. It’s so cool to listen to all the stories and interviews. Big fan keep up the good work.

One of the best fighter aviation podcasts to date. Really enjoy these. Keep ‘em coming!

As a senior member of the Civil Air Patrol mentoring aviation enthusiasts in the cadet program, this podcast is a WEALTH of great information. From realistic views of life as a military aviator to the paths to academies, ROTC, etc, Rain covers it all, with some cool war stories along the way. I highly highly recommend this podcast for anyone considering a career in aviation.

You’re last podcast with MRT was your best yet !

Really enjoying this podcast and The guests “Rain” brings to the show.

I started listening to the pod as a means to relive my glory days as a maintainer while driving my daughter to school, now she gets P.O. if I listen without her. The BRO Chats are an excellent wrinkle to the pod.

Awesome aviation podcast with a very down to earth host with tons of knowledge and awesome guests. The bro chats are absolutely awesome!

Outstanding!!! Great content!!!

Your style is very good, you get your “victims” to talk well. Well done!

Who knew there was so much that went into the piddle pack. And the solo KC-46 discussion was good. Lots of good stuff in this episode. And agree, would be awesome to have him back on a bro chat. I bet a wealth of history there. Keep up the good work! Love the pod cast.

Kill kill kill ‘em all

Great content and great guests. Highly recommended.

Great podcast! Would love to see an episode with Nike if possible.

I’ve been listening to the podcast since the beginning. Great job on keeping the content fresh and applicable. I’ve been loving the bro chats with Bender and Vader, those have become my favorite part of the podcast!

This is a fun podcast to listen to, very awesome to hear all the stories of the wonderful pilots and soldiers who served in combat. I met "Rain" in 2019 at the Planes of Fame Airshow. He is such a nice person. Thank you Rain for your service!!!

Great job with your talk with Richard “Spad” McSpadden. Like him, I fly a lot of General Aviation and I’m always looking for ways bring in best practices from military and commercial aviation to make it safer. He’s doing that full time at AOPA and I know it’s making a difference and making GA safer. Keep up the good work Spad and Rain!

Easy listen that is informative and impactful!

Very fortunate enough to travel around the airshow circuit with this guy. He and his family have made a lasting impression in the industry, and now to hear the stories of his career and others is the icing on the cake!

It’s dope

As a lower time PPL this provides great aviation content, but more importantly great life perspective

I was an Army Mortarman (11C) that transitioned (Reclassified) to be a Medic (68W) after my first enlistment was finished; both of those rolls saw me deploy to combat areas as an Infantryman and later as a Line Medic where aviation assets and their drivers were Angels that watched out for my Brothers and I when we needed a hand. Listening to this podcast and the guest that appear gives myself a perspective into the lives of those pilots/aviators/sky warriors that covered down for us when their skill set was most appreciated to join the fray. Thank you sir for your efforts to bring the listeners of your show a high quality and informative experience that is entertaining, educational, and gives troglodytes such as myself a window into the world you and those like you experienced during the United States military operations abroad.

This really helps me understand military culture and thinking

The host himself is very interesting, but the guests are also incredible. They’re generally engaging, and have incredible careers and stories to discuss. Episode 50 is especially good in my opinion

This podcast is probably enjoyable if you’re a trained military pilot. If not, then you’ll have a hard time understanding what the host and his guests are talking about. There’s also a real lack of any kind of structure: asking people where they grew up, explaining the progression of their career, etc.

If you have any kind of interest in aviation, this podcast is a MUST LISTEN.

A great insight and great stories of aviation

As a soon to be student pilot going through UPT, this podcast gives me so much insight as to what it’s actually like to be a pilot in the USAF. I only get more excited to start my journey every episode.
