This is the first time the Global Stars have been invited to fly in the Philippines. Marketed as "A weekend of everything that flies" A great experience which lead to a second show 6 weeks later.

The Global Stars team at Begumpet airport for wings India as always enjoyed the hospitality. Our first display here was in 2014, its brilliant.

The Indian people are very enthusiastic for what we do and very appreciative. I can honestly say we have inspired the next generation with many taking up a career in aviation. I've seen it many times over the last 10 years.

To ski the valley blanche for the first time without a guide use common sense and pick the right day. Minimum equipment required is crampons, climbing harness, 20 meters approx of rope & emergency locator beacons.

Picking the day is of huge importance to an easy passage, hard snow, no wind, no clouds make it the easiest conditions for first time. Purists would want fresh powder snow 🙂

The walk from the ice cave door looking down can be terrifying for those used to a flat earth! In the winter months a ropeway is installed to help mitigate the 70' slope each side where a fall would be death unless roped to a partner prepared to jump the other side to your fall.

The hike down to the start area takes 20 - 30 mins.

Each cable car brings approx 30 skiers these soon disperse and you have this massive mountain valley virtually to yourself.

We are all waiting for the top gun sequel, its been delayed several times now. So..... we made our own :)

This being the 29th edition of our fund raiser. Many pilots and volunteers put in a lot of effort in the months leading up to the event. We thank them all.

Global Stars team with 4 ship pyro display

Pre pandemic a few people will have heard of the "Secret Garden Party" a weekend of music, camping, muddy fields (sometimes) and partying.
A smaller and very successful event with approx 400 ticket holders were held over 17/18th July 2021 named #mistressmary
Two aircraft of the #globalstars team flew a pyro show performing a first in the UK, a massive heart in the shy with the smoke and sparks of the pyro to massive applause.
The next pyro show is at #shuttleworth 14th August being a solo.
The full team of 4 is at #WestonPark on the 4th September, thats worth coming to see.

29th March we are permitted to fly for fun again. The team took the opportunity of a nice day to train for the upcoming air display season. Team leader Mark Jefferies, Chris Burkett (2), Steve Carver (3), Chris Heames (4)

This needs no words to describe. So touching and moving. If it does not touch your feelings I don't know what will.

This is an example of why we put some much effort into the shows here.

The BBC annual Children In Need fundraising helps kids. Support in any way you can.

Flying the special tribute to Sean Connery today, 4th November over Cambridge where the airspace is unrestricted.

Mark, said: “I’m a big Bond fan and the films are spectacular. This promises to be the first blue-sky day since the original Bond died, and I want to show a little respect.”

Taking to the skies at 09:55 climbing to 10,000ft above the Cambridgeshire countryside takes just 5 mins. Todays wind is 320/ 15 meaning I will have approx 3/4 mile drift from start to finish from the north west. Take this into account for starting position to display the skyArt central over the city. airdisplays.com

Champion aerobatic pilot Mark Jefferies pays tribute to Sgt Matt Ratana, the policeman shot dead by a handcuffed man in Croydon police station on Sept 25, 2020.

After the policeman’s funeral on Nov 4, a memorial ceremony was held at East Grinstead rugby ground, where Matt was trainer. Mark obtained special permission to fly into strictly-controlled civil airspace to trail a thin blue line in the sky to honour Sgt Ratana, 54, and his colleagues who man the country’s thin line of law and order.

Mark, 62, who flies from Little Gransden, Cambs, said: “A friend was speaking about the Sergeant’s death and the heroic actions of the people who try to defend us every day. This was my way of paying tribute to him in recognition of his long career in the Met - and his comrades.” airdisplays.com

On your special day eternalise your love in the sky, experience the most memorable wedding ever, by booking your very own unique air show. This never-to-be forgotten air show will enthral your guests and leave them talking about the experience and your special day for a long time to come. The perfect alternative to fireworks and magicians that everyone has seen before ! See what others have said in their testimonials.

Due to their vast experience, Mark and his colleagues are specifically authorised by the Civil Aviation Authority to fly lower (down to 30 feet) and closer to you than aviation law normally permits. Whether the display is a single aircraft or formation attending a private function or part of a large public air show our pilots ensure you have the best viewing for a spectacular flying display.

Our team of aerobatic pilots guarantee to give you a truly unforgettable flying display. They will fly daring but graceful figures, breath taking, gravity defying manoeuvres including tumbles, loops, swoops flicks and rolls. Environmentally friendly smoke (baby oil) will trail the aeroplane emphasising the flight path, giving a spectacular aerobatic display that will both surprise and delight your guests. The air shows usually begins and ends with a stunning “love in the air” heart but we can discuss specific requirements, such as numbers for birthdays and tailor make the performance to your specific event.

The skill and vast experience of our pilots ensures they will perform a well balanced display for you and your audience and can do so in a wide variety of weather conditions. Each air show lasts approximately ten minutes, formation displays longer, and of course each is the ultimate unique spectacle to entertain your guests. We can also guarantee getting to your venue within a minute of the agreed time, allowing us to plan your air show effortlessly around the whole event.

Approximately the same cost but much more impressive than fireworks ! BTW, I can carry fireworks on the wings for extra wow factor.

I can take payment via PayPal to help with stage payments if required.

Book now to get your preferred display time for your big day in 2021

Pyro air displays by Mark Jefferies. Approximately in June 2013, I started to design the concept and how to attach pyrotechnics to the wing tips of the Extra. EASA granted the approval some 18 months later. Firstly deciding upon which type of pyro to use, once chosen the burn time is important. Typically 55 – 60 seconds is achieved per device. Its a simple matter to add the appropriate devices for the display duration. The fireworks can be fired sequentially or individually depending upon needs.
