Si you are a life saver

I have had a little more time to read many of the posts here and I find many likeminded people as me! I've been bogged down in the past by friends and family saying "its too expensive" "the competition is too high" "get a decent job and fly as a hobby"! This isn't a hobby it's in your blood, now I don't have to feel bad about it

Ten years ago I went through RAF selection and didn't get it (5 places and 19k applicants we were told) and reapplied a further three times. After that I was pretty miffed with the whole scam, but now I'm back on track! I've even had a chat with the missus and she said "go for it with a beaming smile". Come April (and therefore some money) I will get a medical sorted and be paying a visit to some flying schools

Thanks Si and all the others who've put up posts that have given me hope

Jimbo
