Adam Butterfield

Adam has always had an adventurous spirit. His interest in aviation was born at an early age through his Dad, who was a Cathay Pacific pilot. Watching planes land at Kai Tai airport and hearing the roar of their engines is one of his earliest aviation memories.


Following his graduation from University, he decided to pursue the opportunity to play Rugby for the Hong Kong National team and build a Recruitment business. 


However, his desire to pursue a career in aviation never subsided, so he decided to make the career change in 2023 and chase his dream of becoming a pilot by obtaining a Recreational Pilot License with Learn to Fly. From day one, it was love at first flight, and the exhilaration of his first solo only confirmed that he had made the right decision. 


Adam joined Learn to Fly as a Flight Training Consultant as he was keen to share his excellent experience with the school and relevant knowledge with other aspiring pilots, especially those considering airline cadet pilot programs as that aligns with his own career goals.


Other than flying, Adam enjoys a healthy, active, and balanced lifestyle by playing a variety of sports, exploring one of Hong Kong’s many trails or remote beaches, and eating with friends at the many restaurants that Hong Kong has to offer. 

Mickey Wu

Mickey’s fascination with aviation was sparked by the enchanting tales of Laputa and the daring adventures depicted in Studio Ghibli’s “The Castle in the Sky.” Captivated by the romantic notion of exploring the boundless sky, he resolved to master the art of flying.


Among the myriad experiences of his aviation journey, one stands out vividly: his inaugural solo flight under the watchful guidance of mentors like Shannon, Casey, and Ulysses. Against the backdrop of a December evening, Mickey took to the skies, tracing circuits against a golden sunset—a defining moment in his odyssey.


Navigating through aviation challenges, Mickey encountered hurdles with checklists and radio calls. Yet, through relentless practice and the unwavering support of instructors like Shannon and companions like Jed and Clement, he persevered, embracing the ethos of Learn To Fly, where asking for help is a testament to courage.


Inspired by the nurturing environment and camaraderie at Learn To Fly, Mickey aspires to contribute his experiences and expertise to the team, fostering a community where aspiring pilots can thrive.


Beyond aviation, Mickey finds solace in the world of coffee, where he serves as a bar in a bustling café. Drawing parallels between the café’s dynamics and the cockpit’s organized chaos, Mickey embraces the fast-paced environment, honing his communication skills and prioritization — an endeavour that enriches his perspective and readiness for the challenges ahead.
