Aha, the place has changed hands and location several times?
Those guys came to Norway in the 70s to recruit pilots for the location on the East Coast. (NJ or NC..?)
I paid a few bucks and did the testing in Oslo late 1977.
Passed the test and got a fancy diploma and an invitation to start training next spring. Around the same time Øyvind Berg vas in Oslo intervieing candidates for his brand new little flight school in Tennessee: McMinnville Aviataion.
Went with Mr. Berg as his price for FAA Comm, Inst, Multi and CFI was $9.500.00 including living, weekly food allowance and r/t airfare.
NAIA wanted $13,500.00 for a similar program.
Needless to say, I went with the cheaper package deal. Get the same tickets in the same amount of time. Quality of instruction was probably no different, som low time CFI is sitting there barking at you while sweatting under the hood anyways.
The exchange rate at the time was around 5 NOK for the $, so I came out fairly inexpensive. 50K NOK or so.
Horrifying seeing guys taking up 1 mill NOK loans these days.
