Thumbs up

I'm at Algoa at the moment @ 14hours and due to go solo a day now. Can't say enough good thing about the school and it's managment. the instructors are very good and the other students are a great bunch. As for the fly .. well blue sky's and loads of wind I thought the rudder pedels were to rest your feet on until I came here... they is also a grass air strip you get sent to to increase your confidance and learn to fly 'old style ' it's a get place until your lined up on final only to find locals, dogs, cows and all sort just walking across the runway ....

then you have the challange of taxing out behind a 737 and more over landing while a 737 in at the holding point with it's passangers waving at you alway makes me bounce a few times.

All in all, this is the best place to train, every day student from other nearby clubs call in to defect can't say more that that ....
