Along with performing aerobatic adventure flights in and around the Sydney region, Chris is also a qualified Instructor, and has many years coaching other pilots to competition level. He has flown 21 different types of aircraft and has logged several thousand hours. Chris is known for his disciplined and professional approach to this exhilarating flying, and enjoys the interaction with the many people he has introduced to this experience.

When not flying, Chris is usually found playing his guitar, another one of his passions.

Also with and Instructing background, Tony went on to live and work in North Western Australia as a Customs Coastwatch Pilot, before flying in remote central Australia engaged in mining operations on the Beechcraft Super Kingair. With two years at the NSW Air Ambulance, he went on to fly as an Airline pilot with Ansett Australia on the Boeing 727 and 767 for almost a decade.

Currently an Airbus Captain, Tony is enjoying being part of a true aviation family.

Lorry Clark, Operations Manager..... 

Having been introduced to flying when she first met Tony during his flight training in the late 1970’s, Lorry developed an in-depth knowledge of the aviation industry. Her own career as Client Services Officer, in both the private and Government sectors, have given her a wide range of experiences, particularly in auditing practices, office management and associated systems.

Having played an integral part in developing our operating policy and procedures, Lorry can assist in any enquiries with the added benefit of having local knowledge.

With a love of flying since childhood, Reggae finally succumbed and learned to fly at Sydney Aerobatic School. His focus was on aerobatics for fun and this soon evolved into to taking up the challenge of competition flying at local, state and national levels. He was instructed by Chris for several phases of his aerobatic training. Reggae has flown a range of aerobatic aircraft including Pitts and Extras and of course the Boeing Stearman.

Currently building his own extreme aerobatic machine from the ground up, he is someone who definitely takes his flying seriously. His attention to detail and precision in all aspects of flying are well known and respected in the aerobatic aviation industry.

Reggae has been involved in many aspects of the establishment of Southern Biplanes including, among other things, assisting with the arrival and re-assembly process of our Lilly Warra.
