Prestwick is another airport with its own micro climate.

Everyone in scotland is quite loyal to their schools.

Good news is that they all have pretty good standards so it's a function of logistics which one you want to go to.

Even after flying some 900 hours out of inverness instructing I never got bored of the scenery. And the cross countrys are stuff that others spend thousands to get to do later.

They are lucky up there as the training area is just 2 mins flying out the circuit.

I don't have any connection with the school up there these days but still reckon that bit of the UK is a bit special for learning to fly.
