Good luck getting somebody else to pay for your flying. You'll find it's a very unsociable sport with interminable periods spent when you should be doing something else hanging about for whoever foots the bill.

My 50 self funded years (and hence able to decide my own hours) since the first Slingsby Cadet Mk III flight has been 40 of barely being able to afford it and occasionally having long periods when I couldn't and 10 years when I could but wondering how much more I'll be able to do before I'm too old.
