Thanks Pete, I never went to Canadia but took the UAE ACC gig a couple of years ago. I just landed back in D-Town from Brisbane this morning after twenty of my sixty days days leave. Hearing what I hear, seeing what I see and reading what I read not just about AsA but the country in general, I might just stay put. I kept associate membership of Civil Air so read the forums there from time to time. Some pretty disappointing stuff that I wont bore the readers with on both sides of the fence. Applicants will be best served to just believe what they want and find out for themseles.
