Our Flight School is based at Virginia Airport, a picturesque setting alongside the beach.. stunning scenery as we fly in and out of this little airport so close to our homes here.

Queen Mary 2 in Durban

Our Chief Flying Instructor, Brad, was up early this morning to catch the Queen Mary 2 docking in Durban as part of her world tour, sailing this week along the South African coast to Cape Town.

He took to the skyye in our flight school microlight CCL to take these beautiful shots.
