From Zero to Forty Five - my PPL Diary

[mazzy1026]

HH - £47 !! That is a bit steep! When you do your first solo cross country, you will start to appreciate the true value of what you are doing - especially when you land and take in what you have just accomplished. Then onto the QXC - an even bigger/better feeling! I got my receipt from the CAA the other day, informing me that they have received my £159! Can't moan about landing fee's really when you are paying that sum of money just to have your license issued. They must get paid a fortune in that place!

Data - that sounds brilliant. Takes me back to my cadet days when we used to get tours around various hangars at RAF stations. I will never forget RAF St Athan - one of the busiest bases in UK. We were guided round all the hangars and visited several different squadrons, seeing all the aircraft stripped down and being tested etc. Amazing.

Not had much regarding the pub gathering to be honest, may have to post it in the bashes forum (saying that, last time I did that, I failed miserably).

(And BRL - you still owe me that first solo beer)
