One of Gareth’s greatest joys besides his dedication to his family and his passion for life and helping others, is to see the expression of pure joy on the faces of those that experience open-air flying for the first time.

Gareth and his wife Joy, run the only open-air cockpit aerial tour company offering both year-round aerial sightseeing tours and thrilling aerobatic experiences to satisfy any guest of Suncoast Biplanes.

Born and raised in the UK, Gareth’s earliest flying experiences were with the Air Training Corps (ATC) beginning with his first solo flight in a sailplane when he was 17 years old. He has flown numerous general aviation (GA) airplanes, including his first biplane, a Boeing Stearman. He has been sharing the fun of an open-air biplane experience with passengers ever since.

With hundreds of biplane rides given to date, he is a capable, experienced and knowledgeable guide.
