Flying loud grounded. This is AviatorCast episode 81!

Calling all aviators, pilots, flight sim enthusiasts and aviation lovers, you’ve landed at AviatorCast! Join us weekly in our efforts to become better masters of the air through interviews, refreshers, lessons, training topics, simulator set-up, hangar talk, news and more! Buckle up and prepare yourself for this week’s episode of AviatorCast! Preflight complete, fuel on board and flight plan filed. Let’s kick the tires and light the fires! Here’s your humble host, Chris Palmer!

Chris: Welcome, welcome, welcome aviators, you’ve landed at AviatorCast. My name is Chris Palmer. If you have a love for flying things like, you know that flying never really stops. You think about flying while driving, eating and dream about it while sleeping. Yes. It is that wonderment of all things aloft that brings us together today. So welcome to this, the 81st episode of AviatorCast. It is my pleasure to have you here. This podcast is brought to you by Angle of Attack, a flight training media production studio which I found it and which I run. So first of, a little bit about AviatorCast just in case you’re new here at the 81st episode. We won’t hold you to it. You can always go back and listen to the other episodes. So AviatorCast is all about aviation passion. This is where we come together, we talk about certain topics, keep us going, keep our knowledge growing and we just meet together on a regular basis. Also, I bring inspiring aviators on the show and interview them, talk to them about their careers, about what they’re up to, how they got into flying, and any insight they have into the industry and into flying itself.

Maybe you have been out of aviation for a while and you’re looking to rignite the flame. This is also a place where you can do that. Or maybe you are looking to fly for the first time and you’re looking to get the courage to do that. Whether it’s the courage to choose it as a profession and dive right in or courage to try flying because maybe you’re scared of it, probably don’t get many of those here on the show, but over and above everything else, this is a place where we talk about aviation passion and that’s what it is all about. I come to you week after week and bring that to you.

And to share a little bit with you about what that is like for others, we have a review that comes to us from Matt and Matt says, he is from Kentucky, he gives us five stars. He says “Great show. Whenever I’m not in my real airplane working on my instrument rating, you can probably find me on my simulator with this podcast playing in the background while flying on a crosscountry.
