Gary

Managing Director

I have been flying since I was 19 when I got my FAA PPL and IR in LA. I was a county-ranked tennis player and tennis coach whilst I worked and saved as much as I could towards my flight training. I did the integrated, whitetail route at 22. I am now a Captain for a UK airline and have been flying commercially for over 8 years. I founded Aviation Insider in 2016 with the aim of making a global aviation platform accessible, easy, and all in one place.
