WHO WE ARE
About 21.FIVE
A podcast for professional pilots, by professional pilots.
THE STORY
Two friends from flight school
Hey, we're Dylan and Max. We met at flight school many years ago and have stayed friends while navigating our careers as professional pilots. If you know a pilot, you know they love to talk about aviation — probably a little too much. We're both huge fans of the real pros in radio and podcasting: Howard Stern, Joe Rogan, Bill Simmons, to name a few. We saw an opportunity to make something professional pilots would actually enjoy: a show that's interesting, informative, and doesn't take itself too seriously.

CFI roots, then 121 and 135 flying. Flies a Clarity Aloft and will tell you why.
Because we both have varied backgrounds in business aviation and the airlines — plus our days as CFIs — we offer an interesting perspective to our listeners. Whether you're a new instructor, a line pilot at a 121 carrier, or a 135 charter road warrior, our hope is that you'll find the show engaging.
As for the name? 21.Five refers to the emergency frequency, 121.5 — a place where pilots go for assistance or lend a hand to a fellow airman in need… and of course get a laugh at the guard police and the meows. Is it the best name ever? No. But here we are anyway.
Thanks for checking out the podcast, and remember: flexibility is the key to airpower.
