Sherburn or Leeds.

Hi, I'm 16 years old (17 in September) and looking to start my PPL training sometime this summer. If anyone has any spare seats or fancy talking/socialising with a future PPL holder, shedding some light on what to expect and the real side of a PPL, please contact me.

I would love the opportunity to fly with anyone who flys out of Leeds or Sherburn. I don't have alot of money because most of it is being saved for funding of my PPL, however, I am willing to contribute to some of the costs. (coffee, food, landing fee's etc)

I'm wanting to gain a 'real' understanding of the PPL which is why I want to hear it from people who have been there and done that. I don't care how long the flight is neither do I care who the pilot is. I'm just a young adult who is low on funding but looking for a unbiased view of starting my PPL.

Not only do I want to ask for spare seats and someone to talk to, but I also want to socialise with people in the industry who regularly visit Sherburn and/or Leeds who would be inviting and welcoming to a new aviator.
I dare not approach my local airfields as I know nobody and would feel slightly out of place.

Thank you
Jake
