Nick Mason learned to fly so that he could conquer a growing dislike of flying. This first steps lead to a lifetime of self-flown adventure #PinkFloyd #NickMason #learningtofly #RobinDR400 #L4Cub #BoeingStearman #BoeingStaggerwing #CessnaGoldenEagle #AS350Squirrel #generalaviation

Dark Side of the Moon....my favorite album still. PF were a bunch of talented intellects. Not surprised he got his PPL. Greetings from sunny and warm St. Petersburg, Florida.

Great interview, For many years I cleaned and did my Teflon sealant treatment to the cub and the Staggerwing, loved the Staggerwing an amazing aircraft. Also used to do the Mustang, Stearman, Yaks, and was even able to do some cars at Le Mans when I worked for EMKA EMI Motor racing. Can remember Nick flying the helicopter into Le Mans, also cooked him lunch of piri piri chicken pasta!

What a delightful Man. So humble. Yet a living legend of the rock world. I too hated to fly and made my wife miserable when we traveled. So I decided to take a flight lesson to try to gain control of the anxiety. We now own a Mooney M20J that we love to fly. I didn't know that David Gilmour was also a pilot. Thanks for all the great content.

Part of this interview really gave me the giggles. Question - Do you still have a Jet Ranger? Answer - No, I looked this morning and I haven't got one. I guess you have to be a member of Pink Floyd to forget what helicopters you own.

The green-eyed monster speaks! Pink Floyd totally deserve every perk their money can afford. The world would be a much poorer place without their wonderful creativity. (My youth was sculpted by their music, so many thanks for that.) I’d really love to hear that PF are supporting WW2 aviation projects like the Mosquito rebuild etc…..
