    So people what can I do with this £10.5K I have and this song about a lonely Scottish airplane?

      Need suggestions on how to spend it in a way that doesn't attract attention or involve having a night out with Aussielong?

      Suggestions please.

          Last plane I flew...

          It's the best way to spend cash as far as I'm concerned - flying is simply quite spiritual - one of the greatest moments I'll never forget is busting through the clag under IFR and seeing the sun setting on the tops of the clouds - I'll never forget that beautiful orange again - I love it and am busy trying to horde the cash so I can get back into the left hand seat again after the acrimonious divorce.

            Actually it's a good idea. How much is a lesson?

              Checkout Cabair

              You are looking about £8k to get the licence (F*** me, it's gone up since I did it 20 years ago!!!) but that's not the issue - you need to fly regularly after that to keep your licence valid with a CoE and also it's no fun flying min hours when every sortie feels like a massive pressure trip - it is supposed to be fun and you need to prepare and do it regularly.

              One lesson/trial will cost around £150 - if you are serious, do the full package (at a reputable company, do not pay up front to a dodgy one) or better still, goto the USA where it will be cheaper.
