Private Pilot Lisense

Postby Mazza » Sun Oct 17, 2010 6:29 am

Good news, One. I am alive! :D

Secondly, by the end of next year, I should be a qualified Private Pilot.

One of the math teachers in a Flight Instructor, he got permission to start a Flight corse, and $2000 for it, it's fairly cheap.

Two term class, runs the full Australian Pilot show, theroy and practical.

I'm so happy! :D

Good News: Only $2000.

Bad News: Mazz has got to provide the Cessna 152 trainer.

Sure you were talking about the same thing when they said it would cost $2000 to get your wings?

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
