Customer Reviews
Pilots Journey Podcast
Enjoyed it. A different format than most of the other aviation podcasts. Informal, but professional and informative.
General Aviation FTW!!!
I'm writing this review because they said they'd give me a shout-out if I gave them a 5-star review.
I kid... I don't care about that. I'm actually writing this because PJP is one of the best podcasts out there for General Aviation and GA pilots. It seems like so many aviation podcasts go on and on about the airline business, and no disrespect, but I don't give a dang about airlines or about flying heavy iron. Like many thousands of other podcast seekers out there, I'm a weekend warrior GA pilot and I want to hear about GA topics and GA flying!
PJP delivers, and the guys do a great job with it. They talk about getting commercial and instrument ratings, doing the CFI/CFII thing, mountain flying, backcountry flying, tips and techniques, and just general bug-smashing in planes that us GA pilots can relate to. Give 'em a listen--you'll probably enjoy it.
