Ross Spence converts from Thruster to Tornado Jet

Ross Spence learnt to fly at Newtownards on the School Thruster Microlight and in 2015  gained his National Private Pilot’s License (Microlight) . He  subsequently applied to join the RAF and was accepted for Officer training . Today  (5/2/2017) we heard that from an intake of 19 only six Officers have been accepted to train on Fast Jets and Ross is one of them. 

We are proud of Ross’s achievement and hope that the other trainees in his squadron are able to keep up with a pilot that learned to fly on a Thruster.
