“Some people thought I was talking about a model airplane,” David told the Irish Examiner. David is a member of the FunFly Aerosports Flying Club and was inspired to take up flying by his grandmother Elizabeth. I used to book myself in for a flying lesson on the Sunday morning to keep me out of the pub on Saturday night. Having the support of everyone at FunFly Aerosports Flying Club was great because there is always someone to lean on for support.
