Blackbushe Aviation

I own a share in an aircraft at Blackbushe, and am a regular flyer there.

I joined Blackbushe aviation initially as a 'social' member in order to use all their facilities - ie everything short of using their aircraft.

They have been extremely friendly, and nothing is ever too much trouble. Indeed, as a result I have asked their instructors to fly with me on a number of occasions for rating additions and currency checks. They are all enthusiasts, and are interested in all that is going on at the field, not just their own aircraft and students - unlike some clubs I have known. On one occasion my aircraft went u/s on start, and without hesitation they offered me one of theirs to do the trip.

As ever, each must make up their own mind, but I would suggest going for a trip with the CFI or any one of the instructors to get a feel for their enthusiasm and attitude to students.

Good luck with your choice!

Best wishes

PS They run an internet chat sight on ther web site, the link is provided in a previous post, have a look through that too.
