ParisFlyer,
Algoa gets a big
from me. I spent 11 months there last year doing everything from my PPL right through to my multi engine CPL/ IR and am now back in good old blighty doing my ATP exams at Oxford before converting the licence itself.
It's going to be a lot of hard work wherever you decide to go but all I can say is that at Algoa you'll have a great time in doing it. The instructors are excellent and the club members range from micro light pilots right up to current SAA Captains - all ready to have a drink and a chat at the customary Friday night 'solo party'.
Can't praise it enough.
Good luck!!
