Clear Skies, Straight Talk, and the Stories That Never Make the News Brief.
The Fighter Pilot Podcast takes you inside the cockpit — the aircraft, the missions, the people, and the future of air dominance. Hosted by Col. Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton.
The Fighter Pilot Podcast has one mission: to pull back the curtain on the world of air combat and the extraordinary people who live it.
Founded by retired Navy fighter pilot and TOPGUN instructor E. Vincent "Jell-O" Aiello, FPP has become one of the most trusted voices in military aviation — bringing listeners inside the aircraft, inside the briefing room, and inside the minds of the men and women who fly, fight, and lead at the edges of human performance.
Now hosted by Col. Tucker "Cinco" Hamilton — Air Force test pilot, F-35 aviator, and one of the military's leading voices on AI, autonomy, and the future of air dominance — the podcast is evolving to meet the moment. From classic dogfight stories to the cutting edge of human-machine teaming, each episode is built around one promise: real conversations with real experts, zero fluff.
Whether you're a lifelong aviation enthusiast, an active duty pilot, or someone who's always wondered what it takes to fly and fight at the top — there's a seat waiting for you in the cockpit.
