53 AUTUMN 2025 | March-April-May SKY SAILOR enthusiasm for what we do connects us as a community. With such a strong turnout, and an undeniable buzz around the night, it’s clear this mustn’t be a one-off event. Next time you fly, don’t just hit ‘record’. Think about the story. Because next year, it could be your film lighting up the screen! Breaking: The 2025 Film Festival has just been awarded the coveted Airmalik Award For Excellence – we feel honoured. Beyond the screen This Adventure Film Festival was about people and their inspiring stories, a re- minder why we fly, despite bomb-outs, suffering and a constant search for the elusive ‘next level’. We fly and adventure not for PBs, rankings, or to rack up kilometres – we fly because of people, to enhance our perspectives and to experience wonder. The passion and Shane will be competing in the Red Bull X-Alps in June this year. We urge everyone to kick in to his GoFundMe to support his campaign!
