All is well at YSBK, thanks all for the recommendations once again!
I'd thought I'd ask here, rather than make a new thread, I noticed AOPA issues scholarships to folk learning how to fly. See here:
AOPA Australia Online
I feel I should give it a shot, at least for the sake of trying, however, was curious to know if this was aimed at mainly school/tertiary students who are generally broke (I know I was back then!) and otherwise unable to afford the cost, or open to application from anyone who's starting out?
Thanks!
