456 Rocket Launches a Year?! SpaceX, Blue Origin & America's NEW Space Race | Sunday Live
Season 1, Episode 97
Show notes
SpaceX and Blue Origin are thinking BIG—but can the skies handle it? Tony and Aaron break down SpaceX’s proposal for up to 456 annual Starship launches from Starbase, Blue Origin’s New Glenn expansion, and what increased rocket traffic could mean for airlines, pilots, and an already busy orbit. We separate proposed launch rates from approvals and factory capacity.
Plus, Elon’s wild flying-car ambitions and an A340-600 farewell bring two very different visions of aviation into the conversation.

Why Does AI Make People So Angry? | AI vs. Aviation Purists | Sunday 11OCT26
Season 1, Episode 94
Show notes
We're diving into one of the most divisive topics in aviation content: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (or are we now supposed to say SUPER INTELLIGENCE?)!
We've been creating original AI-assisted music inspired by aviation and specific aircraft, and recently reached out to a few airshow announcers to see if they'd be interested in using some of our songs at their shows. Let's just say the responses have been... interesting. Some were less than enthusiastic, while others made their feelings about AI-generated content VERY clear. 😂
But that raises a bigger question: Is using AI lazy, misleading clickbait, or simply another creative tool that can make great aviation content even better?
We'll share some of our experiences, showcase some of the BEST and WORST examples of AI-generated aviation content, and discuss where the line should be drawn between creativity, authenticity, and outright deception.
PLUS, we'll catch up on the week's biggest military and civilian aviation stories, share a few laughs, and probably ruffle a few feathers along the way!

Wednesday Live Chat | September 23, 2026 — RampCheck Aviation
Season 1, Episode 89
Show notes
Wednesday is all about the RampCheck community! In this episode, we lead off with the viral B-1 departure video from RAF Fairford that sparked a heated debate over OPSEC, military aviation photography, and whether publicly visible aircraft movements should be filmed and shared.
We also get into the reposting side of the story — including accounts that criticized the video while amplifying it, and the importance of giving proper credit to the original photographer or videographer. That hits close to home for us after our own Red Flag / Las Vegas Sphere video was reposted to millions of viewers across X, sometimes with credit and sometimes without it.
As always, we hang out with viewers and talk aviation, aerospace, military aircraft, breaking news, rumors, airline drama and whatever else comes up along the way. The conversation may start with aviation... but there’s no guarantee it stays on the runway. ✈️
