Too many to mention, Vampire, Sabre, 727, 747, to name a few, but right now, tail wheel and big radial engined a/c (Harvard and Trojan T 28). Why? Because!

The perfect student would be:
A perfect student is one who has put effort and preparation into their lessons, and has a passion for flying and a hunger to learn more. I also enjoy coaching qualified PPL’s who are looking for advanced training and skills in the handling of their aircraft.

Since I was a little boy I have been crazy about flying. From the age of 10 I was building balsa and flying model gliders, my passion grew from there. At 14 an introductory Glider flight, at 20 flying jet fighters (3 years Top Gun in 1 Squadron, 3.5 years in the formation aerobatic team of 4-9 Sabres, and a Sabre test pilot from 1961 to 1965); at 30, airline Captain on 727s and at 39 a 747 Captain (24 years). All in all, a total of 43 years on jets. Now I enjoy sharing my experience and knowledge to the next generation of aviators.

When I’m not flying, I have diverse interests. Family comes first and then everything from ancient history to zoology (A to Z), not forgetting gastronomy! There is not enough time in a day to pursue all my interests.

I enjoy all racing. In my youth it was canoes (Duzi x7), motorcycles and yachting (Cape to Rio 1, Vasco da Gama 3). That’s all over now.
