Don't know.... he might have just spent his whole time hanging around flying schools. They are hardly fountains of knowledge on the wide world of aviation, and often you are fed bull by self interested people who want you to rent their wreckage instead. I started looking for a plane even before I finished my PPL and you would not believe the amount of bull I was told. Real pilots who fly to real places rarely hang around schools because the school doesn't want them polluting their students' knowledge
