I & one or two others have been waiting two years for the WX to be acceptable for the flight from London & return some days later for the beach landing at Barra. You are a lot closer so have more opportunity to achieve what would be quite a feather in your cap. BUT I have some reservations about the flight when it finally happens (more nervous excitement) even with over 36 yrs flying, and agree that to try this one as a student is not a good idea.
