   Flying Experience: 4000 hours
   Displays Flown: 900

   With many thousands of hours flying Stearman aircraft, David leads the formation display. He really enjoys the challenge of flying a precise routine with Kirsten, Professional Wingwalker, dancing on the wing.

   He initially studied Engineering at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.

   He gained his Pilots Licence over 30 years ago at Marshall’s Aerospace.

   David flew skydiving aeroplanes for a local club and at the same time gained display experience flying his own two aircraft, a 1943 Stearman and a 1980’s Yak 52.

   David was selected to join the Team in 2006 and has been flying for Aerosuperbatics ever since. He is a full time member of the Team, jointly heading up the engineering team when he’s not flying.

   Presently David has over 1000 air displays under his belt, he has flown over 6000 members of the public and many celebrities on the wing. This makes him one of the most experienced wingwalking pilots in the world, an enviable title which is held by his CEO Vic Norman.

   David has flown at airshows all over the world, as far afield as China, Australia, India, Philippines, Kuwait, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates.

   Flying Experience: over 13450 hours
   Displays Flown: 10

   From a very young age, Brian had a passion for all things aeronautical – he started gliding at the age of 14 and flew first solo in an aeroplane at age 16. He qualified as an aeronautical engineer and for 6 years built helicopters and jet engines, but longing to fly he joined the RAF and has now amassed more than 13,450 hours in the air, flying everything from the most rudimentary glider to the most sophisticated executive business jets.

   Brian flew in the RAF for 23 years and was very lucky to fly a multitude of military aircraft spanning single seat fast jets as a fast jet instructor to multi engine transport aircraft.

   Brian competed in the British aerobatic championships for many years, flying his home built aerobatic aircraft. He considers competition aerobatics to have taught him a great deal about flying.  It requires a very high degree of flying precision and discipline. Although Brian has been flying for over 40 years, he still considers it a great privilege and loves being in the air. He especially loves flying open cockpit biplanes and passing on the joy, thrill and nostalgia of flying to all his passengers.

   Flying Experience: over 21000 hours
   Displays Flown: over 300

   Steve was a fast jet pilot in the RAF during the 1980’s flying Jaguars with 41 Sqn RAF Coltishall, and Harrier GR3’s with 4 Sqn RAF Gutersloh in Germany.

   On leaving the RAF in 1989 he joined British Airways, and has flown the Boeing 747-400, 737 and Airbus 320. He has been a Training Captain for many years, and was on the initial team to bring the Airbus A380 into service with BA.

   As captivated by flying as he was on the first day, Steve says he still thinks it is magical to have the freedom of a 3-dimensional world, looking down on the countryside. He loves the challenge of display flying, having to be cautious, disciplined and well prepared.

   Steve is honoured to have been an AeroSuperBatics pilot for 14 years.
