Nearly Heaven Flying School is Closed

I am sorry to announce that Nearly Heaven Flying School is now closed. It will neither re-open under its existing name, nor indeed under a new name.

Neither Nearly Heaven, nor Susan Virr's legacy is affiliated with any other aeroclub.

However, I am pleased that my mother's legacy lives on in the large number of students and friends who flew with her in France. The family would like to thank all of you for your kind comments over the last few months.

Flying: Where next?

I am frequently asked if I know of a flying school that evidences the same high levels of energy and enthusiasm embodied by Nearly Heaven, sadly I don't know of any such in France, but  Susan Virr was taught by Phil Matthews at Cotswold Aeroclub, Gloucestershire Airport http://www.cotswoldaeroclub.com/ Phil can be reached on 01452 713942
