HELI at Cape Town. They have 22's, 44's, JetBangers and a 109 Grand. Not too sure if the 109 is availible for conversions though. I learnt to fly from Cape Town International. For fixed plank (aeroplane). You do spend alot of time driving around on the taxiways and burning expensive fuel. The choppers don't. The instructors are quite experienced aswell. The weather is fairly good. The only problem is wind. You will experience some of the strongest wind around the mountains. I know a few good pilots who have flown JetBangers and LongPidgeons in 50-60knots wind. Hope this helps. CT
