Get yer PPL in 2wks in the US for 1/4 the price, then come back & hire aircraft from Leading Edge in What's it called? (Cumbernauld). LE also have flying schools in Perth & Inverness. GFC pricey - esp landing fees, even at the discounted club rate, but what a thrill, landing a traumahawk at Glasgow International with a 767 up yer bum!
But why are you asking this question on the Aussie & NZ forum?
