Hungry, diesel, etc...
Yup, I've got opinions- like I said, I've flown with some excellent US trained pilots, and some excellent US trained instructors. I don't think Americans can't fly, or can't teach.
The US SYSTEM is what scares me, but as I've posted, it works for you. Ours works for us. And if Hungrypilot thinks his CAA flight tests are going to be easy, I can only wish him luck!
