He was the son of Leighton Collins, a well-known aviation writer, pioneering flight safety advocate and founder of Air Facts magazine.[2][3][4] He died on April 29, 2018, aged 84.[3]

In October 2008 Collins retired as a regular contributor to Flying magazine. At the time of retirement, Collins had been on the masthead of an aviation magazine since July 1958.[2][5]
