The Guernsey Air Display’s popular Meet the Pilots event returns on Tuesday 8 September from 3pm-7pm, giving islanders of all ages the chance to get up close to this year’s aircraft before they take to the skies.
The event provides islanders with the unique opportunity to meet the men and women who fly the aircraft, learn about their career journeys and view some of the aircraft ahead of this year’s display.
Visitors will be able to see an exciting line-up of aircraft including the UK’s only civilian aerobatic display team, Team Raven, who impress crowds with their precision flying and close-formation displays. Also attending will be a classic Jet Provost, a vintage training jet used by the RAF from the 1950s, together with James Brown’s Hawker Hurricane, the Battle of Britain’s only surviving fighter aircraft still flying today. As well as the visiting aircraft, attendees will also be able to explore the JOEY cockpit, the airport fire engine, military vehicles and a selection of private aircraft on display.
This year’s Meet the Pilots event takes place at the Guernsey Airport East Apron, and is sponsored by Titan Wealth and Aiglle Flight Support.
Entry is by donation, with all proceeds going to the Guernsey Air Display Foundation and the RAF Association Guernsey Branch.
