Thanks guys/gals for all this information, much appreciated.
I don't plan to head off quite that soon to get this hour building done, maybe within a few months, after I've hopefully found a interesting, fun job at Gatwick, and once i've saved a bit.
Once I've completed my PPL, I'll inquire about buying a share flying an a/c, I wonder how much they are??..
The west coast of USA and Canada sounds very intriguing. I'd ideally want to be flying somewhere where the scenery is just too good for words.
Cheers for the good advice SK and FFF, I should have considered allowing more flying hours to spare while at flying college, so one can keep the experience and knowledge up to scratch before CPL/IR.
It also sounds like accommodation is at a good price as well in the US.
When considering the weather in the US and South Africa, what can one expect with the months around December and January?
I'm not too sure if I'm correct, but are there landing fees in the US?
I'm suprised Florida hasn't been mentioned much, I obviously don't know the USA that well :P, it sounds there's better places to go
Cheers
