We loved hosting HSCNI Fostering & Adoption for a brilliant family fun day. With the need for foster homes in Northern Ireland higher than ever, it was a privilege to celebrate these incredible carers and the work they do. Huge thanks to Cloud 9 Restaurant at the Ulster Flying Club, plus our amazing crew and instructors for the flights & airfield tours. Delighted to see so many tags and check-ins 🙌🛩️🥪☕⭐

We have a seriously talented bunch of students at the Ulster Flying Club, and today, Robin Klaver proved it by acing his First Solo in next to no time! 🥳

When he’s on the ground, Robin is a Vascular Surgeon at the Belfast RVH—so we knew he had steady hands. But with a bit of prior gliding experience, he showed serious natural talent by going solo after just 7 hours of dual instruction!

Massive congratulations, Robin! Brilliant achievement! 👏🩺✈️🙌🏻⭐
