Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed it. There is, quite simply, nothing else like
flying.

Okay, here's your plan:

1. Come to the U.S. next summer.
2. Stay at our inn for two months. (We'll give you a great rate...)
3. Take your flight lessons at our airport. We have two flight schools on
the field.
4. Save yourself a bundle of money, and Mary and I will show you the
Midwest...

Gee, that will take 10 minutes! grin



Go home with a Private Pilot's Certificate in your purse for thousands less
than it would cost in Europe.

(You can see the inn on our website, below...)

There used to be an outfit down in Florida that offered training for the British
license. I don't know how it's doing since 9/11.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

I understand correctly, the licence would only
allow you to fly American registered planes,

No, the certificate (as it's called in the U.S.) is transferable to
the UK. British pilots regularly train here to take advantage of the
lower prices, good weather (I would suggest Arizona, but only in the
winter , and the opportunity to travel. There's a bit of paperwork
now, what with Mohammed Atta and his friends.

Let see..

Walk out side. 15 Seconds

Jimmy I think you've scheduled in 9+ extra minutes.

And how would you get to Iowa, let alone Iowa City without seeing corn???

Walk around. 30 seconds

Say, "Them's beans" 2 seconds

Now you have just tripled your tour time in Iowa...

Cool! Lancaster, PA would be a great place to learn to fly.

Now that does look interesting..... But I'm not going to be flitting
off to do anything in a hurry :-)

Have never been to the Mid West, but your not selling it very well ;-)
We have a place called Boston in Lincs over here, its a bit like that,
really really flat and cabbages for as far as the eye can see...!

Now a quick question, is there much difference in flying a piper 4
seat, rather than a Cessna 2 seat?

I have a willing soul who would love to come up for a ride, and it
would be a good excuse to have another lesson, but I wouldn't want to
try learning in two very different planes at once, that would just be
confusing.

Many thanks

What do you bet Mary's away on business when you get there!!

And what difference would that make?

Precisely.

The people on this group are all pigs, I.B -- just look at where their minds
go! You need to come train in the "Great Bread Basket of the World", the
Midwest, where we are all gentlemen and ladies, the kids are all above
average, and the sky is always blue...

There's way more to the Midwest than Iowa.

From here, Atlas can take us to Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, the
Ozarks, or any of a hundred cities -- for brunch -- and have you back in
your hotel suite by supper time!
