Squawk 7000 – Mark Dwyer and Jenny Jacobs – it’s fun to fly

In this end-of-season episode, I chat with Mark Dwyer of Funfly Aerosports and FlyinginIreland.com and his partner Jenny Jacobs of Pilot.ie about their lives in aviation. I met them both at the FunFly AGM this weekend, and as the school’s aircraft flew overheads, the Irish Parachute Club’s two aircraft were busy too.

Mark is an airline pilot flying the Boeing 737 for a major European airline. In addition, he is also a Type Rating Instructor, Type Rating Examiner and Base Training Captain on the B737. Outside of commercial flying, Mark enjoys flying light aircraft from the smallest 3 Axis microlights up to heavier singles. He is also an instructor and EASA Examiner on single engines and a UK CAA Examiner. He flies the Chipmunk for the Irish Historic Flight Foundation (IHFF).

Jenny Jacobs is Director and Operations Manager at Pilot.ie, a dedicated online pilot shop and consultancy for pilots in Ireland.
