Delta Jets are priviledged to have some of the best fast jet instructor pilots available.
Our instructors are all current or ex-military fast jet instructors with a wealth of experience. Red Arrows, display pilots and test pilots make up this incredible team, all of whom have a deep passion for teaching others to fly these historic aircraft.

Chief Pilot - Andy Cubin Squadron Leader RAF MBE Ret'd.

Andy joined the RAF straight from school and went on to complete 5 tours flying the Sepecat Jaguar, including 2 tours in Oman and an instructional tour, during which time he became the Jaguar Display Pilot. In 1997 he was selected for duty with the Red Arrows and was awarded an MBE in the New Years Honours list. He spent his last 2 years in the Red Arrows as half of the Synchro Pair, finishing as Synchro Leader.

Aside from being Chief Pilot at Delta Jets, Andy is also an airline Captain, flying the Airbus 320 and 321, and is a dedicated family man. Andy has displayed the Hunter and the Gnat for 10 years and has over 500 public air shows and over 11,000 flying hours to his credit. In his free time, he is a multi- award winning portrait photographer.

Instructor Pilot & Formation Leader - Brian Cornes Squadron Leader RAF Ret'd.

Brian spent 23 years in the Royal Air Force, clocking up over 1400 hours on the Canberra, 1100 on the Hawk and 600 on the Hunter, as the Royal Navy's fixed wing standards examiner. Aside from that, he is also an aeronautical engineer and rebuilt his Pitts Special.

Brian is now a commercial pilot flying corporate jets, as well as being a competition aerobatic pilot and aerobatic instructor.

Congratulations to Cornsey and his lovely wife, Linda who have recently married.
