Just discovered this podcast because it was referenced by another podcast, which is also excellent: Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Control Talk. I am not a pilot or an air traffic controller… Just a guy who is fascinated by what it takes to make the world of aviation tick. As I said, I am very new to this podcast, but I am finding it educational, humorous, and good old-fashioned, excellent entertainment. Thanks for sharing your wonderful stories.

Captain Nick does a great job telling stories of aviation history as well as his own story as he progressed through a military career as a fighter pilot. Very interesting content and well delivered!

Capt Nick is not only an accomplished military and airline pilot, but he is equally accomplished as a storyteller. If you want to hear the little gems of a distinguished flying career, listen to Plane Tales. It is a masterful podcast. Highly recommended!

Capt Nick keeps me on the edge of my seat. Great story teller. Keeps you on the edge of your seat. Listen to him and you will be hooked. What a treasure he is.

I can’t got enough. Capt nick is a great story teller who gives us the information in gripping story’s.

My grandpa was a pilot. I am not. The most I’ve ever flown was crowded in a plane going from one major city to the next. Certainly not like any of the stories on this podcast where there’s all kinds of interesting stories and planes. Still I can picture myself right along with the people in these accounts, my scarf blown back and my leather bomber jacket fitting snuggly about me. Thanks for a great show.

I love the detail and how you explain how these planes crashed now I have something to listen to at bedtime and it will also make people not want to go on planes witch is sort of good but yeah this is an amazing podcast and I think everyone should check this out!!!!!

Excellent podcast . Always informative, interesting and well told.

Great stories! Thank you

Captain Nick is a wonderful storyteller providing some interesting facts from some of the more obscure aviation history. It really harkens back to Paul Harvey’s, “The Rest of the Story, or the updated similar version of Mike Rowe’s, That’s the Way I Heard it,” only Capt. Nick’s stories are aviation related. Keep up the good work Captain!!

I love Captain Nick and I love this podcast. Captain Nick has a real talent for telling stories. Nick is an incredibly experienced airman and listening to him tell these stories, most of which I’ve never heard, is not just educational but so well executed. I always look forward to the next story.

A magnificent podcast. This gentleman has been gracious enough to share his gift of storytelling with the rest of us. I listen to this podcast not only for the fantastic aviation content, but also for the joy of listening to a well-narrated and detailed story. As a fellow fighter pilot, it’s everything I could hope for when I’m stuck not flying and need a fix.

Great podcast, excellent subject matter and a marvelous orator. These flying tales only take up 15-20 minutes of your time, and they are very entertaining. Download it today!

The podcast is the best one going Listened to all the best ones were the early flying boats inAfrica And about you dad and his flying Joe Grz

Capt. Nick is a great story teller and does an outstanding job of researching extremely interesting but generally unknown aviation history stories and then tells them with his wry sense of humor and British accent. It all makes for a marvelous podcast.

With less than 200 days left in your professional flying career, I do hope you will continue these fantastic stories in retirement. The research, attention to detail, and your natural story telling voice make this show a must listen! Thank you for producing an aviation masterpiece that can be shared for electronic eternity!

With all the advances in modern aviation, it’s easy to forget how and why things got to be the way they are. Cautionary, emotional, and thought provoking stories from a birds eye perspective few of us may never witness finally vocalised. Sit back and enjoy the (prop) wash of knowledge, experience, research and nostalgia. Don’t only listen alone - it is a family show, ladies and gentleman after all.

From production to developing an idea to the final Plane Tale product..just an amazing feat. Thankful for all the work that goes into this week after week. Excellent podcast

I’ve listened to all of Captain Nick’s tales and I’ve enjoyed them all. The tales tell of history, courage, and engineering feats that span the decades. Nick put a lot of time into his tales and it is apparent. He has the gift of a storyteller.

Capt Nick has a great voice and style of storytelling! I can’t get enough of his tales!

Great stories from aviation. Running the full gambit from tear jerkers to inspiring. Great for those with a mild aviation interest, all the way to a full aviation buff.

I find this podcast very informative. Details are well researched and presented without bias. I like the history of the aviation and this podcast certainly packs history as well as technical information, well done captain Nick

I really enjoy listening to these. Many thanks to you for the hard work you put in to make these so great!

I look forward to Nick's plane tales episode each week!

Nick the best now save for that spitfire

Capt Nick is a great story teller. His research is spot on and brings a great perspective to the stories he tells. Please be sure to go back in the archives and listen to the interview he did with his dad. Great stuff all around from a great pilot, human and story teller.. Thanks for all of your hard work Capt Nick!!!

"Captain Nick" has a knack for storytelling and draws on over a century of incidents, events and anecdotes across the spectrum of the aviation world to put together these entertaining stories. If you're particularly interested in one aspect of aviation, sift through the episodes and you're sure to find one that suits your interests. If you simply enjoy airplanes, history and stories, work your way through all of them. Well researched and well told by a personality who himself has a distinguished career in both military and civil aviation. Captain Nick is also British.

Excellent and well researched episodes.

Capt nick has a great background from which to tell these tales (true stories, actually) and delivers them in a great style.

A very well produced podcast. Excellent audio quality. Capt Nick does a fantastic job.

Great stories. Great history. Great voice.

For the aviation history buff there is simply no competition to Plane Tales. Captain Nick beautifully tells the stories of popular and other times unheard of air planes and their amazing impacts on history and aviation as a whole. If you like aviation and airplanes even just a little bit, you have to subscribe to this podcast.
