Hey, you're a full inch taller than my wife, Mary, who now has over 500
hours as pilot in command of a single engine aircraft!

Great, that means they won't be one laughing or two handing me a
cushion and or board to sit on so I can see out and reach the controls!
(This happened when I learnt to drive, my first attempts being in a
tractor!)

Very worrying about the addictive nature of this, have never tried
heroin or meth, but can safely say I already have one expensive habit,
described by some as 'standing in a cold shower tearing up £20 notes!'
But I suspect horses are not quite as expensive as flying.

Are there any flight instructors from Australia, on this group? I am
hoping to take a few weeks there next spring, and if I like flying in
the UK, I will probably want to have a go there too.

Many thanks

Ice,

Don't know about overseas, but if I had the cash from my wifes 28 yr horse
showing addiction. I'd have a new Archer with a virtually unlimited fuel &
maintenance budget ;-)
Really, the horses cost easily 4 times what I spent on aircraft ownership.
