Elvis Costello

Line Pilot

David "Elvis" Costello joined the charity in September 2018 and has been flying helicopters since 1999.

His previous experience includes flying in all types of terrain and weather environment, and 11 years of flying to offshore and gas platforms in the North Sea.

He was lucky enough to have watched the opening of the Athens Olympics from the airship right above the stadium!
