So There I Was

Description

So There I Was” is a weekly aviation podcast and YouTube show featuring true pilot stories from fighter pilots, airline captains, helicopter pilots, and other military and civilian aviators.
“So – there I was.” It’s how all great aviation tales begin. Hosts Fig and Repete met more than 30 years ago as Marine AV‑8B Harrier II attack pilots in VMA‑223 and both now fly for the majors. Each episode, they bring in some of the best aviation raconteurs on the planet to share glamorous, hilarious, poignant, tragic, and unbelievable stories from the cockpit.
From combat missions and carrier traps to airline emergencies, ATC drama, and the dumb mistakes everyone survives only once, this aviation podcast pulls no punches. If you love pilot stories, war stories, and behind‑the‑scenes aviation history told by the men and women who lived it, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll laugh until you cry—but you’ll never be bored.
