Well, this whole thread is making me wonder a bit. Because the OP has been posting his intentions of a career in aviation, but it's his father who is the pilot, and something sounds a bit odd. Especially some of his replies, in particular a total lack of concern over major political changes in the near future, many of which will almost certainly have an impact on all kinds of aviation and border crossings. Which when combined with an aircraft cruising speed which isn't usual in a first aircraft purchase and a, shall we say, extreme caution over a short over water segment, makes me want to know what is going on. So I just wondered what this aircraft is.
