I'm going to be working in London but will probably live a little west to be near the American school for the kids. I'm thinking High Wycombe might be a good place to keep the plane? Any thoughts?
I've been doing some research on the North Atlantic crossing and it doesn't seem as suicidal as I first thought. It obviously requires considerable preparation but there seems to be a lot of information out there.
Thanks to all for the heads up on operating costs
. I'd heard it would be expensive but that's crazy. For comparison, the club I used to rent from, I could get a 172SP for £35 per hour (which includes fuel) and monthly dues of £23 per month and of course no landing or approach fees. Avgas currently runs about £0.43 per liter. The 152's they have rent for £25 per hour.
