The students from the University of Leeds have worked incredibly hard. From early morning until the airfield closes, students and instructors have absolutely flown their socks off.

The second group from the University of Leeds are now into week two of their PPL training. Despite the weather not always being on side, we are still seeing their hard work pay off with first solos being completed. We also had 40 sixth form students visit the airfield to find out about pilot training and a little bit about the history of the airfield. It was probably one of the busiest days of the summer so far, but it was fantastic to see past and present students of AFT vol

Another glorious start to the week for the arrival of the second wave of Leeds University students. It is fantastic to meet such enthusiastic young people who are certainly as hard working as they are keen to fly.
