It’s within the reach of most competent PPL’s. The group puts a very high emphasis on safe operation and we are only looking for conscientious pilots who do things by the book. Operating these vintage jets has its challenges but it’s a lot of fun.
The group have 50-50 cost share flights between members, airshows with free fuel, and with the change in CAA rules means we can offer flights to other people at 99% of the fuel costs etc. This help keeps group members current by someone paying for the majority of the JP flight.
