Pilot - Warren Grobbelaar - Plane Number 46

Aircraft Type: Cessna 180

Aircraft Name:

After his birth in Pretoria, South Africa, Warren Grobbelaar (Warren G for short) was raised by his two parents in a little-known town called Phalaborwa. He narrowly escaped being mauled by an Ostrich at age 7 and survived Malaria at 13. After that he knew he had to leave the continent.

After a short stint at the University of Kentucky, Warren got his Private Pilot’s License at the world renowned Nexgen Aviation flight school. Since then, he has pursued his passion flying a 1955 Cessna Skywagon all over the US doing STOL and STOLdrag competitions. Warren spends most of his time polishing his airplane but can occasionally be seen spending time with his family. He is soon to be humbled by a C182.
