August 2024 :
Buster our Deputy Chairman and ex CFI/Flt Examiner was awaiting his flight back to Luton from Murcia Spain. To his delight the pilot for his Ryanair flight home. on the Boeing 737 was newly appointed Captain and member of Halton aero Club Mr Paul Summerscale. Buster was delighted, due to Paul being a member of HAC and Buster being his training Instructor, Examiner and friend. Paul was also pleased to have his friend and Instructor onboard and enjoyed announcing it to all 160 passengers over the PA system! I thank Paul for the embarrassment, but Paul redeemed himself with a complimentary Gin and Tonic for Buster and his wife Lisa.
We as a flying club have had dozens of ex Students go on to flying commercially, due to the very high standard of training and staff at Halton Aero club.
