After decades behind the mic, legendary airshow announcer Rob Reider has officially retired—but not before one unforgettable farewell tour. From heart-pounding performances to a celebratory soaking by the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds, Rob shares stories from his incredible career in airshow announcing.

But that’s not all—Rob is also the voice behind Sporty’s flight training series and the host of the popular "I Learned About Flying From That" podcast, which is nearing its 100th episode. We dive into his experiences, the impact of sharing pilot stories, and what’s next for him in the aviation world.

Whether you’re an airshow fan, a student pilot, or just love great aviation stories, this episode is packed with insight, nostalgia, and inspiration from one of aviation’s most recognizable voices.
