I can fully endorse your positive comments about Aero Club Como. I've been going there twice a year for 3 years now and have accummulated 25 hours P1 on floats. They've a growing fleet including C172, C172XP, C206, Lake, Cub etc. all available for solo rental provided you have the necessary rating and experience. I'm lucky to live near Gatwick and can hop on to easyJet to Milan Malpensa then taking the train to Como. Easy! Rgds, Neil
