Yep you heard right!!

Linda has indeed moved to Gamston following a disagreement with the 'Swamp Donkey' and as far as I can gather, it was he best move she has ever made.

IMHO Linda was the only reason to go to Soloflight; after all their flight safety record isn't exactly the best. (I believe the report on their last fatal incident is out on Monday!)

I paid a visit to soloflight earlier last year and couldn't believe the way the studes are spoken to, the attitude of the owner leaves a lot to be desired. She seems to forget that without the studes, she would not be in business! Correct me if I am wrong but they are her customers aren't they? Flying is expensive there but to pay through the nose and then be treated like something stuck to the bottom of her shoes...

Soloflight is a little like Fawlty Towers but with two subtle differences: 1. its based at a flying school and 2. its not fictional either!

I have friends who have learned to fly there and from what they have told me and conversations overheard at other flying schools about the place, they definately confirm my initial observations.

Glad I went to the states to do my flying training!!


(pm me if you want Linda's number, bumped into her a few weeks ago just after she moved to EGNE)
