Jason had flown for 20 years with Cathay Pacific, and Alexandra is our check and training pilot at Chartair.

As fate would have it, both father and daughter found themselves in Darwin today, with Jason visiting our Chartair office and Alexandra providing him with training on a Cessna 310. As they strolled around the tarmac, Jason caught a glimpse of an old mate – the Cessna VH-UCD. It was a plane he used to fly back in 1988, long before Alexandra was even a twinkle in his eye.

As they approached the aircraft, Jason couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia. He remembered the thrill of flying this very plane, and the adventures it had taken him on. And now, here was his daughter, a skilled pilot in her own right, following in his footsteps and making a name for herself in the world of aviation.

It was a heartwarming moment and one that reminded them the importance of passing on their love and knowledge of flying to the next generation.

If you're inspired by Jason and Alexandra's story and want to learn more about becoming a pilot, visit our website and see what Chartair has to offer. We are actively looking for experienced C441 pilots and other lines of pilots to join our crew in Darwin and Alice Springs. With our training programs and expert instructors, you too can follow in their footsteps and experience the thrill of flight.
