The Pilots
Brendan O'Brien
Brendan O’Brien
Brendan’s ancestry in Ireland goes back to the seventeenth century with Huguenot immigration from France. Although his formative years were spent in London in a quiet family environment, everything changed dramatically when he was orphaned in his early teens and began a life of travel and adventure.
As a child he had been fascinated by birds and perhaps flying was in his blood from birth. Not surprising then that the world of aviation beckoned initially with ballooning and gliding before he was seduced by powered flight.
Now, more than forty years later Brendan has over fourteen thousand hours on over three hundred plus types of aircraft and holds a licence to fly every kind of flying machine.

I am a CAA authorised display pilot with over 1000 flying hours in a variety of different flying machines. I hold licences for helicopters, fixed wing aeroplanes, and hot air balloons, with experience in many other forms of aviation including paragliders, autogyros and gliders.
I am also a flying instructor for fixed wing aircraft and microlights.
Currently, I am building my own single seat aircraft.
I am available for public and private shows providing both static and airborne displays tailored exclusively for you and your event making it a special and memorable occasion
The Aircraft
OTTO the Helicopter
OTTO can bring any event to a close in spectacular style with his unique fireworks spectacular. All manner of pyrotechnic effects are fitted to OTTO who will fill the sky with light, colour and noise to ‘WOW’ the crowd.
Our latest exciting innovation is to fit the aircraft with LASERS!
OTTO is a Schweizer 300C helicopter. With his fully articulated, three bladed rotor system OTTO is ideally suited for our sensational rotary displays.
