We believe in you ...

As a flying school we are unique.  Profits directly go to supporting two partners, The Mark Long Trust and Aerobility.

These amazing organisations work closely with us to enable people with challenges that would normally prevent them experiencing the joy of flying overcoming those difficulties and becoming an aviator.  

The Mark Long Trust

In Memory of Squadron Leader Mark Long

The Mark Long Trust was established in memory of Squadron Leader Mark Long, a passionate aviator tragically killed in a Spitfire crash at RAF Coningsby on 25 May 2024. Mark believed in the power of flight to inspire and uplift.

Our mission is to empower disabled individuals by providing them with opportunities to experience aviation. We aim to break down barriers and foster a community where everyone, regardless of physical ability, can share in the wonder of flight.

Inspired by Mark's dedication and love for flying, the trust works to fund adaptive flying experiences, support specialised training, and raise awareness for Flying Scholarships for Disabled People (FSDP).

Aerobility

Aerobility is a UK based, registered charity. Founded in 1993, we change lives by providing anyone, with any disability with access to the magic and wonder of flight.  

We do this because taking the controls of an aircraft drives a focus on capability and encourages our flyers to ask the question ‘If I can fly an aeroplane, what else can I do?’  

This makes everything else in life feel that little bit more achievable, whilst offering the ultimate feeling of freedom and escape from restrictions of disability. 

Aerobility represents the needs of those living with disability in to aviation and is recognised as the leading expert in disabled flying. 

"I can't say enough about the outstanding service I received from your company. Their team went above and beyond to meet our needs and exceeded our expectations."
