Kampala Aeroclub
And Flight Training Centre

Kampala Aeroclub's owners and directors are Jeremy McKelvie and Russell Barnes. Jeremy and Russ combined have over 30 years experience flying around Uganda and surrounding regions. This experience helps us serve our customers well and helps us smoothly overcome the little challenges that come along with operating in the third world.

Jeremy McKelvie

Jeremy has been flying in the ugandan bush for 20 years. Prior to starting the aeroclub with Russ Jeremy was a training captain for Mission Aviation Fellowship, teaching pilots new to Ugandan flying and improving thier bush flying skills. He conducts all of our new pilot transition training as well, which includes checkouts at all of our airstrips.  Training with Jeremy involves extensive work on precision landings, emergency procedures, and bush flying. Jeremy is a perfectionist during this training and his high standards ensure that all pilots at the aeroclub are well prepared for flying in Uganda.

   
Russell Barnes

Russ has a wide range of aviation experience, including helicopters, cropdusters, and of course african bush flying. Russ is well respected around the aeroclub for his stick and rudder skills and his quick sense of humor. Russ is now back to his primary passion- helicopters!- and primarily flies our new Bell 206 Jetranger helicopter.
