Hi There

So many people seem to go to the States for their hours building ...... I decided to pop to Portugal where it is cheap, and the airspace is relatively quiet!

ATC is very good, fluent English is spoken - provided by Lisbon Military!

A small country, but plenty of airfields to visit ... doing an approach into Faro alongside the big boys is fun! Loads of MATZ and Danger areas .... all good practice!! Plenty of nav aids too!

If anyone wants more info, please contact me via email or pm me!!

P.s - You can hire a C152 for as little as £45 / hour - wet !!
