Renting from Sherman at In The Pattern is more than just a business transaction, it’s an experience. Every flight I’ve had in one of his planes has been a mini adventure and Sherman’s excellent personality and attitude will have me coming back for years to come.

I have had the pleasure of doing business with Sherman Gardner and In The Pattern. My experience has been nothing but outstanding. Their aircraft are reasonably priced and well maintained. Sherman puts a lot of effort into ensuring that his renters are taken care of!
Eric Men
Sherman Gardner and In The Pattern are great and just fun to hang around with! He believes in creating community in aviation, not just offering rental airplanes or pilot services. I couldn’t have asked for a better guy to lead me back to my passion and hone my skills.

The whole experience has been the best I’ve had at any place I’ve rented an aircraft. The owner has done a fantastic job of building not just an aircraft rental service, but a community of local pilots who all share a passion for aviation. The aircraft are impeccably maintained to the highest maintenance standards, and there are a wide variety of aircraft to choose from. The pricing actually makes flying affordable for time builders, like me. In The Pattern is definitely the place to go!
Jordan Guerin
