james_ponsford

James was fortunate to have been born into an aviation family. His first flight was at two weeks old and he hasn’t stopped flying since. James went first solo on his 16th birthday, picked up his license on his 17th and has gone on to do his American and UK Commercial licenses and more recently added the Instructors rating. James flew 7 years in business aviation flying the Lear 45 and Challenger 605 before in 2019 joining Easyjet on the A320. James really enjoys flying aerobatics, tailwheel and vintage aircraft.
