Flughaven's Unsung Heroine

There's a saying that behind every successful man is a woman. Well, in Flughaven's case, it is certainly true. Not many people know, but Flughaven and our sports flying venture was started by myself and my wife, Yvonne, who provided much needed advice on finances, projects to undertake etc. We certainly would not be where we are today if not for her expert business acumen.

I suppose moving forward from here, with the addition of baby Isabel to our 'team', we are now focusing on what would appeal to the younger generation and the young at heart. We are wholly supportive of the EAA Young Eagles program and are contributing to bring a new generation of Singaporeans and Malaysians to the realm of sport aviation and flying for fun. Many people are still under the misconception that aviation is for the rich. We are proving that flying for fun can be done affordably with the LSA category of aircraft, especially running Jabiru engines on Mogas. To this day, we are adamant Jabiru aircraft and engines are the way to move sports aviation and GA (General Aviation) back to a viable and profitable industry in South East Asia. But that is a rant for another time.

Back to singing praises about my wife. Thank you dear for your contribution to Flughaven and we will endeavor to bring our company to the level of the premier sports aviation company in this region, and create legions of aviators in Malaysia, Singapore and the rest of Asia.
