Why did you start flying?
I actually started flying on a whim. I was booked an introductory lesson as a gift whilst on vacation in Vancouver. It will forever be the best gift I have received. I knew as soon as we landed that it was what I had been looking for and within 3 months had relocated 5000 miles from home in The UK to Vancouver.

What is your favorite kind of flying or place to fly to?
Aerobatics is definitely my favourite kind of flying so far. There really is nothing like it. However I have a lot of flying yet to try so watch this space. 

My favourite place to fly, I think will always be Squamish. It was where I fell in love with flying and as a result holds a place in my heart. Not to mention its absolutely beautiful.
