without seeming to state the obvious obtaining your ppl is a great personal boost.For some the next goal may be entirely different,hence the drop outs also some may become fed up with the cost of club aircraft and buzzing around on a local. On the south coast at Shoreham shares can be obtained in 150's so cheap you think there must be a catch but not so. also the tarmac runway allows you to fly when many grass airfields are closed in the rainy seasons.Flying with like minded friends visiting different places albeit slowly and sharing costs is the key to having a good time as a ppl any flying mag shows shares for sale often at a bargain price.
