Speaker Pilot Dan Foster
General Host - David A, Cashier - Ian C, Speaker Host - Amber S.
Tonight we heard about the life and career of Dan Foster - his life as a Test Pilot with Ryanair and Boeing.
Dan earned rapid progress with Ryanair to Captain in his early 20's and then to Training Captain. He is now the pre-delivery test pilot for all their new aircraft, including the Boeing 737 MAX. The brilliant talk ended with many interested questions.
Dan recently had the honour to be the first pilot into the newest airport in Spain ! - the London to Castellon flight landing is on U-Tube :
