The trouble is that you have probably spent too much time in aircraft that have had next to no investment and maintenance and so the fading paint, old avionics and carpets that smell as if some sort of pond life in in residence, in short you have been ripped off
Thanks for that A and C, been flying for the last ten years, I have flown aircraft all over the world at many different establishments. I have flown at least 10 aircraft types, some of which are not available on the civvy market. The Diamond aircraft at Shoreham are an amazing piece of kit and I know that many of the other flying schools are simply jealous. The choice is simple, you fly your CPL on a £20,000 aircraft or a £250,000 aircraft, the price is the same, go figure
