I think I met you firefly, I'm currently a student at Elite and I agree, it's a good place to learn. Nice outfit with friendly people. Goodwood's a nice airfield too, particularly with the scenery around, flying to the Isle of Wight and on the coast in general is great. Did my second solo nav ex to the Isle of Wight on a lovely evening, absolutely terrific views.
By the way Firefly, how are you going to go about hour-building? With Elite on their copters? Abroad? Buy your own? Hopefully I'll be a PPL in the next few months, and I'll be needing to figure out the most cost-effective way to do that.
