Similar situation here. I am a cop, but after 10 years of security and decent pay I got my NPPL (fixed wing microlights) last September. I don't think I can hack another 20 years of frustration and disillusionment in the justice system.
I found true contentment flying for pleasure in my Thruster. Now, just having to save every spare penny in this recession to put towards the start of an PPL.
Anyone else been in the same situation?
