Rowley,. .. .I've been out in Orlando on business for the past month. At the weekends for the hell of it I go and fly a PA28 for $55/hour wet (plus taxes).. .. .So 50 hours will be no more than approx 2200 pounds. Airfare, transport and accomodation will be no more than 800 pounds (probably 600). Plenty of interesting places to go as well. You'll probably see a shuttle launch at the same time.. .. .So you are well within your budget.. .. .Don't know about swetting in Florida - it's bloody freezing here at the moment, but the flying conditions are good to perfect.. .. .I would recommend it.
