Aviation talk with hangar-floor personality.
The gist
Just Plane Radio treats aviation as both a skill path and a lifestyle, moving from FAA test prep and ADS-B concerns to event logistics and airport culture. The tone is casual, opinionated, and often goofy, with technical explanations sitting beside coffee jokes and travel etiquette rants.

About Just Plane Radio
Just Plane Radio treats aviation as a lived subculture. The show is about airplanes, but it is just as interested in the people, habits, costs, frustrations, and rituals that gather around them. Recent episodes balance useful flying information with broad, talk-radio energy. One week may focus on open source ground school and the cost of getting ready for the FAA written test. Another may turn toward ADS-B, data concerns, and whether flight-tracking data is being used to charge pilots in ways they did not expect. It can be practical. It can also be pointed. The crew spends time on home simulator practice, procedure training, aircraft systems, and step-up aircraft technology, then pivots into coffee at the FBO or what travelers should not wear through an airport. Sun and Fun is a major thread in the recent run. The show previews the Lakeland event, talks with Gene Conrad, plans multiple broadcasts from the grounds, and treats the event as both a news event and a social gathering. That mix gives the program its texture. It is not a classroom, though learning to fly remains central. It is not only a news roundup, though aviation policy, technology, and service networks clearly matter. It is closer to sitting with a group of opinionated aviation regulars who know the equipment, know the events, and still want to laugh at the strange human behavior around flight. Greg, Captain Dennis, RV Tom, and guests keep the pacing loose. Segments often begin with a clear aviation issue and then drift into teasing, travel stories, or blunt commentary. The humor can be broad, especially when the conversation moves into chamber mishaps or passenger etiquette. Still, the show keeps circling back to the same practical question: what helps people fly better, safer, cheaper, or with more awareness of the aviation world around them.
Made for: Best for pilots, student pilots, aviation event regulars, and airplane-curious listeners who enjoy practical flying talk with a loose radio rhythm. It especially suits people who care about training, cockpit tools, airport culture, and event life.
What sets it apart: The show pairs learning-to-fly substance with the messy social texture of aviation culture. Technical topics, event coverage, service details, and crew banter share the same runway.
