This is an excellent scheme. Why do people continually play down such schemes.
Clearly like all forms of sponsorship there must be an element of competition.
I implore all who have a serious interest in flying to apply.
I applied for such a scheme many, many years ago and was selected , for 30 hours of PPL instruction, and have enjoyed every day of my flying career to date.
FLYING IS FUN.
If you don't apply you will never know.
DO IT NOW.
