Markflyer - you ar'nt the one who's bought Solofight their PA28 soon to arrive are you ?- if you are be carefull - I understand that the owner of G-BRWO fell out 6 months ago - and took it off the Solofight fleet - because of abuse of his a/c!!
I have not bought it,student atpls cannot afford aircraft!(not this one at 26 with a big mortgage,two kids and three cars)


Message from the top follows :

New aircraft arriving today bought by a long standing club member who is putting in a GARMIN 430, as he intends for it to a much better aircraft than POM has ever been.
2 new instructors starting next week, one full time, one part time.
None of the aircraft belong to the club - Twin Star was £350,000, how many clubs can afford that? Of course the owner is going to let other people use it!!
RL is going on C of A and will be getting all avionics sorted.
WO not out of C of A, check G-INFO.
BAFU still faster than POM and is hardly slow and outdated - look at the web site.
I have not slagged anyone off, I always let folk make their own judgements.
Bonanza is rentable, there just aren't many people capable of flying it! (Or paying for it!) It has just done 3 weeks and 16 hours rental round Scandinavia, see the web site. It's for sale, yes, the owner is buying a helicopter.
Going to learn to fly in America?? You'll find out all about being ripped off, unless you're lucky!!
Humberside is quiet because of Football, Wimbledon and Waddington - the rest of the country's flying schools are also quiet or going bust!
On what basis is this "person" making the comments? Have they been to all the clubs at Humberside and in the surrounding area? Looked at aircraft? How many clubs teach on PA28's as opposed to C150's?
I think thats fair enough
