I know I could spend and hour or so on the web and probably find this out but this is a world wide forum so I figure borrow some expertise. I'm in Durban, South Africa Mar 6th - Mar 11th and would like to do an hour or two in a Schweizer 300 just to keep my hand in and enjoy an aerial tour for a project there in 2010. Can anyone recommend a couple of places to try. I'm a JAA & FAA CPL(H) holder looking for flights with a local instructor.

Thanks for any advice,

R1tamer

R1Tamer, I did exactly what you're planning a few years ago. I could not find anyone who operated a Schweizer in Durban; the nearest (!) was Pretoria!

However, instead I got some good value instruction and quality flying in a Jet Ranger with NAC at Virginia Airport. Starlite never returned my emails!!!

Cheers

Companies that can help are:
