Gee Bee Flying

About Gee Bee Flying

Gee Bee Flying is a pilot built flying school based at Compton Abbas Airfield on the Dorset and Wiltshire border, set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It aims to feel more like a community than a transactional training provider, with an emphasis on safety, professionalism and good airmanship, plus ongoing mentoring beyond the first licence. A key differentiator is its clear focus on tailwheel flying. Gee Bee Flying explains tailwheel handling in plain language and promotes it as a skill that builds accuracy, crosswind awareness and overall confidence. For ab initio students, the school offers Private Pilot Licence training and positions an introductory lesson as a genuine first step. For gift buyers and first time flyers, it offers trial lessons and experience flights, with gift vouchers available. Compton Abbas itself is presented as part of the appeal, with a comfortable on site setup and a restaurant.
