Celebrating Trustee Dave Bird – A Champion of Aviation and Transformation

Today we’re shining a spotlight on Dave Bird, an FSDP Trustee and microlight pilot whose passion for aviation is matched only by his belief in its power to change lives.

Dave knows first‑hand how flight can build confidence, strengthen resilience and open doors to possibilities people never imagined for themselves. His commitment to FSDP comes from that deep understanding – that when someone takes the controls for the first time, they’re not just learning to fly … they’re discovering what they’re truly capable of.

Whether he’s in the air in his microlight or supporting our scholars on the ground, Dave brings enthusiasm, experience and a genuine desire to help others soar.

Thank you, Dave, for your years of service, your energy, and your unwavering belief in #AbilityThroughAviation. The difference you make is felt across our whole community.
