My family bought me a flight in the Eurostar for my birthday this year. I had a smile on my face the whole time! Mike is a very encouraging, thorough and amusing instructor and I enjoyed the experience so much that I am currently working towards getting a pilots licence flying the Eurostar with him.

Mike (Mr Poet Pilot) is a fantastic instructor. This was my first time in a light aircraft and Mike made me very comfortable (despite my fear of heights). It's an experience I will never forget and I would strongly urge anyone toying with the idea to give Mike a call and get booked in.  
 
Thanks again Mr Poet Pilot.

My partner Sarah and I both had the pleasure of a flight with Mike (the poet pilot!) in his Eurostar aircraft and it was an absolutely fantastic afternoon....We found him to be a wonderfully calm and clear instructor who instills complete confidence in you from the word go....It wouldn't be fair to give a little review such as this without a word of how beautiful The Forest of Dean is to fly over ! Thanks Mike and we're hoping to fly with you once again in the New Year!
