Thanks for the info guys. I've had a chat locally with someone who would be keen for me to do some private flying with him. He told me that there are English exams scheduled but they only occur about three times a year. Whether he actually envisaged 'sponsoring me' is something I need to confirm. This is (unfortunately) just for a private license.
The JCAB medical I can do in Honolulu (where I live) so I plan to have my
plastic glove session when I return.
Feel free to shoot me down in flames but at present I'm chasing every opportunity I can to do some flying and I figure adding some Japan hours would be really interesting.
Now if I can only work out why all these sweet young Japanese girls keep offering me sweets
