Just about touched the earth
that PA28 took off like a helicopter and from then on in it was a completely surreal experience
I'm actually learning in Florida at the moment, at EFT doing an EASA PPL only. Weather here isn't great though, getting some completely unseasonal storms.
I am usually in or around the base most of the time, however if you do not have a relationship with the armed forces or the station, it can be hard to learn there. Compton Abbas isn't too far from Yeovil and charge reasonable rates, also Dunkeswell is another reasonably local airfield.
