My professional and warbird pilot dreams could soon become a reality with your help.

Auckland

My name is Nick McIndoe - passionate aviator - and I am looking for help please to live my professional and warbird piloting dreams.

I took my first flying lesson in 1998, was hooked and qualified as a private pilot in 2001 - all through my own hard work and savings - fueling/cleaning aeroplanes at the airfield.

Studpidly, I did not carry-on with my pilot training but now, at 33 years of age, married and with a baby on the way, I would like to become a professional pilot and gain my CPL (Commercia Pilot Licence).

Also, ever since I first saw a Spitfire fly at Warbirds Over Wanaka 1996, I have wanted to fly warbird aircraft and would like to buy into the CT-4 Airtrainer (pictured), which was formerly owned and operated by the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

The cost of buying into the CT-4 is $3, 000 and pilot training to airline standard is $100, 000 plus - I am leaving the goal open for a month.

I have already saved $1000 towards the CT-4.

Thank you in advance.

Funds raised will be used to purchase a share in the CT-4 Airtrainer and pursue my professional pilot dreams.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
