Tony Snow, "technical advisor" for our aviation video webpage (Tony is
retired RAF, and has forgotten more about aviation than I'll ever
know), confirmed for me today that it would cost $640+ for me to top
off Atlas -- our Cherokee Pathfinder -- in Great Britain.

Imagine! $640 to go fly! This *might* explain why there are only 9
registered Cherokee 235s in all of Britain, no?

No.

Then you have the costs of your flight briefing, ATC useage fees,
Landing fees, and a very restrictive system on top of the $640.



Not to worry, however. Tony has confirmed that the streets in his
hometown *are* paved with gold, and that everyone eats steak daily, for
free, thanks to the taxes those remaining 9 pilots are paying...
