I was fortunate enough to get my PPL in Florida last year, along with a dozen or so other youngsters who had little, or in some cases no flying experience. One guy had extensive microlight experience and 2000+ hours on hang-gliders and he found it a breeze compared to the rest of us. He also found nav and met exams much easier as he was already air-minded.

If you're out there Russel Marshall, you can be my wing man any day.
