Welcome to the In The Pattern Podcast. This is a new Aviation podcast featuring 3 students pilots, John, Chris, and Mark, all working towards our private pilot certificates. Once a week we will be getting together to discuss our training, what we are learning, and other aviation related topics. This is a podcast about learning, aviation experiences, and enjoying the processes of learning to fly. No matter what ratings a pilot holds or doesn't hold, a pilot is always a student, learning as much as they can about flying, and we hope to capture that here as we earn our wings. I have posted the intro music to the podcast in this post. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Our first episode will be up in the next day or so and we will be talking about what gave us the bug, and how got started in our training. Finally, our goal for this podcast is not just to document our training to becoming private pilots. We are going to continue after we earn our wings since we will always be learning new things, having
