Skytrek Flying School Rochester

"There is no sport in the world quite equal to that which aviators enjoy while being carried through the air on great white wings." These beautiful and evocative words were written by Wilbur Wright in a letter to Aldo Corazza in 1905, and we couldn't agree more!

We're looking for Flight Instructors to join our friendly team, helping students work towards their PPL in a supportive and professional training environment.

You'll be working with enthusiastic students, a well-maintained aircraft fleet, and a team that genuinely enjoys teaching people to fly! We are open seven days a week, operating from a purpose-built office at Rochester Airport in Kent. If full-time instructing isn't for you, we are also offering part-time and flexible roles.

Send your CV to [email protected] and tag any other instructors you know in the comments 👇

Last but certainly not least in our series showcasing our fleet, we have G-GDIA "India Alpha". This plane is the personal favourite of our social media bod, but we try not to say that out loud in front of the others 🤫

India Alpha is a Cessna 152F (Reims), meaning she is the same as the American Cessna 152 model but was built in France (🇫🇷ooh la la!) and so originally was F-GDIA.

If you'd like to meet India Alpha for an experience flight or as your partner to work towards your PPL, give us a call on 01634 200787, email us at [email protected], or visit our office at Rochester Airport to chat to our team.

An experience flight is an amazing gift for a loved one or yourself! Book a flight or buy a gift voucher - visit our website www.skytrekair.com, call us on 01634 200787, email us [email protected], or visit our office at Rochester Airport!

There are few things better than being at 2000ft on a sunny afternoon...

(Yes, that might be a little hint to the universe - we'd like summer back, please!)

Charlie Whiskey looking lovely on the apron during the spell of nice weather - more blue skies like this please! 😄

Sadly the rough weather meant Rob's flight couldn't safely go ahead today, but were delighted to welcome Rob, Numi and Becca from kmfm to the airport anyway so Rob could chat to us and sit in Tango Mike ahead of rebooking. Suffice to say, he is more excited than ever! 😁
