About Willie

I have had a passion for flying from a young age, so as soon as I had saved enough to embark on my training to be a pilot I started. With now over forty years experience of flying light aircraft, your flight is guaranteed to be a pleasurable experience. I also have been a racing driver since 1974, and own an electrical contracting Company. I look forward to having you onboard. All passenger will be provided with headsets to both protect against noise but also to enable us to chat during the flight. This will allow you to hear air traffic conversations and communications between us and air traffic control. You will be provided with a safety briefing prior to our flight, and also a weather update normally the evening prior to our flight. I have a class 2 medical (valid until 13/08/2026) I have a LAPL medical (valid until 13/08/2027)

Direct flight to Swansea for lunch then return

Great day out with Willie flight to Swansea and back from Brackley. I did pilots licence some 30 years ago having learnt navigation with a map and compass. move forward to 2025 and it is all on a display for the pilot to dial in, with moving maps. Autopilot as well. Willie took the aircraft off autopilot on way back and I flew the old fashioned way it was hard work maintaining heading and height. The aircraft a Piper Cherokee Warrior is immaculate for its age. Good roomy interior. I recommend ...
