About Nick

I have had my private pilots licence for over thirty years but have only been able to make good use of it since taking early retirement. I fly purely for fun and love to share the thrill of flight with others. If possible I only fly in good weather to make the most of the experience. There are many places to see and airfields to fly to within an hour of Coventry Airport. A fun trip might be, say, a 30 min flight to another airfield, land for a coffee and cake (or bacon sandwich!) and return…maybe including a flight over your house (if airspace allows). Alternatively lots of longer trips are possible. Don't forget to bring your camera/phone! I am currently flying with Coventry Aero Club and best availability is on Sundays and Mondays. Let me know what you would like to do or contact me for ideas through Wingly. IMPORTANT: Please message me before making a booking to check availability of the aircraft etc. After a booking has been confirmed you will, of course, be fully briefed before the flight, and kept up-to-date with the weather.

    One hour Air Experience Flight from Coventry

    Fantastic and highly recommended! Nick’s communication before our flight was faultless, right down to seamlessly rebooking when the weather let us down! Our flight today was perfect, Nick had discussed and arranged a great flight plan and a pass over our house on the return leg. Nick is a confident pilot and his experience shows. He talked us though every step of the pre flight process and was a wealth of knowledge during our flight. He was great with our 10 year old daughter (this was her first...
