Did my PPL in summer 2005 over a 26 day period flying two srties a day. Did the ground exams in the UK before I flew out.
Thoroughly enjoyed my self. Went solo after 10 days, 220 mile solo x-country on day 20 then did my skills test on day 26. All done in a 4 week holiday to sunny California.
Managed to accumulate 55 hours flying in total. Highly recomended
