Mr Captain Catton- Gone Too Soon

$2,900 donated
Given by 32 generous donors in 14 days

To support the family of Nathan Catton in their time of shock and grief.

Northland

Nathan was an aviation loving enthusiast who brought laughs, cheekiness, debates, go arounds and a world of knowledge to the New Zealand Aviation community. He was a keen plane spotter from a young age, from standing at the fence with his ladder to taking multiple flights in a day to visit different ports and planes. He was known by most in the aviation industry as an extremely intelligent person with huge potential and he liked you to know it. 😆 He was made to be a pilot and we were all waiting for the day he flew a Q300 into WRE Airport just so we could send him around. Nate, tears are being shed all over the country for you and your family. We want to use this page to show his family the support they have behind them from our whole aviation community and the love we all have for this kind, argumentative and NZ famous Capt Catton. You are gone too soon Nate, but always in our hearts.
