JUT
Brilliant idea which I personally wholly endorse, but for every student you could provide I could supply you with at least 10 or more equally keen "hanger rats"
(14 - 20 year olds willing to be involved in anything, often unpaid, just to get some experience and fulfill their desire to get on in aviation).
If there was some sort of "exchange programme" for the above "Hanger Rats" to go to France, it would be even better, but it's all a question of who is going to set it up, regulate it and fund it.
I don't have the experience or the means, but it would be nice to think that someone in AOPA UK and AOPA France could make the first move.
