At the ripe age of 62 I decided to learn to fly. I live on Alderney in the Channel Islands - great island, nice airport, super Instructor - crap weather. I have now had 3 lessons in 7 months! I want to learn and qualify here, but at this rate I will be over 100 by the time I go solo, if that's legal! My instructor says I am doing great, and encourages me, but then another month goes by with too much wind, too little vis, or the Club planes in use!
I am not keen to do 3/4 weeks intensive in Florida, but I wouldn't mind going there for 3 weeks and just adding to my hours/experience, hopefully in a Warrior. Not perfect, but hey it seems to be that or take up bungey jumping instead.
Any ideas out there - I want some sun early next year, can I find a school to do me a few hours instruction?
