I'm keen to do some flying he if I can get some contacts & info.
I've sent a few emails, searched the internet but not come up with
anything concrete yet. I've heard anecdotes from a contact in Nanjing
that powered flying (training) might be available but I've no details
on this.

Michael,
I'll post any info that I find on this NG. What city/ies are you
visiting?

I'll be spending most of my time in Beijing, although we're going to
Luoyang for at least a few days, which looks to be relatively close to
where you are if I haven't gotten my geography confused. I'd be willing to
travel some if the situation looked good, although just how far or how
good is something I haven't really figured out.

I'm a bit pessimistic about finding anything, and my time may be better
spent studying for the knowledge exam rather than flying, but it would be
a neat experience. I appreciate your offer to post what you find, and I'll
be sure to do the same.
