Join us for The FLYER Show and discover a way that you can afford to fly an aircraft that would otherwise be too much money!

Yes, we explore the world of Group Ownership of Aircraft where the unaffordable becomes possible. We look at the practical benefits and financial planning to maintenance responsibilities, booking systems and managing relationships within a flying group. Plus, real-world examples of aircraft shares currently on the market.

There's also the dreadful news that Popham Airfield is definitely in the local council's plan for housing - and what we can do about it. We've found another UK airfield up for sale, and there's news of a new event at Thruxton Aerodrome.

Fantasy Hangar returns and this week, of course, we go looking for shares in surprising aircraft.

This week we have made The Flyer Show pretty much all about the Beechcraft Bonanza and Baron given Textron's decision to sunset these classic aeroplanes. There's still the normal news, weather and SkyDemon tip, plus we're bringing back Fantasy Hangar for a Bo & Baron special!

In this episode of The Flyer Show, we take an in-depth look at the fantasy of flying from home, exploring houses across Europe that come with their own airstrip, from island hideaways and airstrip cottages to larger estates with runways and hangars, including Glenforsa on Mull and notable strips on the Isle of Wight and in the Cotswolds.

We discuss hangar-home concepts and talk about the latest aviation news with updates from Trig Avionics, Skyfly, and engineering insights such as turbine blade design.

The episode includes a SkyDemon top tip for safer flight planning and detailed VFR weather outlook for the weekend.

We look at standout aircraft concepts from the Royal Aeronautical Society’s student competition, along with historic flying footage, club updates, free landing opportunities and upcoming events.

Whether you’re a pilot, an engineer or simply someone interested in aviation, flying and general aviation news, this episode offers a clear and informative overview of what’s happening across the flying community.
