PPL in Florida
Congratulations ct8282.
I did my PPL earlier this year at OBA in Florida, and had the time of my life.
I allowed 28 days, and needed them all to complete the course. I agree with your comments about doing the theory in the UK (I did 5 exams before going to the States). Since my return, I have done a few hours with Instructors, both in the UK and Portugal, to get familiar with the differences, in aircraft (C152 and TB9 as I trained on PA28's) and R/T. Had one solo trip (well me and a friend), and hope to do more in the near future. Been thwarted by the weather more than once.
Would definately recommend the trip to anyone who can afford the time.
