Squawk Ident - an Aviation Podcast

recorded on 06DEC2021

Welcome aboard Flight 97 of the Squawk Ident Podcast - Throwing Smoke.

On today’s flight Rob D. and I have the honor in speaking with a captain who’s journey in aviation is filled with opportunity, courage, and determination. We first introduced him on Flight 89 - Remembering 9/11, where he shared his experiences on that unforgettable day that changed the course of history. He is a veteran of the United States Air Force with 28 years of service as an instructor/evaluator/and safety officer on the KC-135. He also has amassed more than 30 years on the flight line at “Legacy” Airlines both as a flight engineer on the B727 & B747, and as a pilot on the F-100, B757/767, the DC-9, and currently the A320 family of aircraft. Captain Pete Lindner, joins us today to share his amazing journey.

Now that our preflight is complete, let's get ready to push off the gate, and start those virtual podcast engines, Flight 97 of the Squawk Ident podcast is officially underway.
