The other Naples

Yeah, the one in Italy.

Anyone know a flying school there, somewhere to rent a plane and an instructor to go for a tourist joyride? (All my web searches have come up with is some place in Florida.)

you could try googling for "Napoli aero" for example, there's at least one club there.

Flying around Naples

Can confirm that you'll find what you want at Salerno.

We landed there for a week-end whilst touring Italy and chatted at some length with the aero club.

They have a Super Cub for banner towing and a couple of other less interesting aircraft. Very friendly and good English Spoken.

The flight around the Amalfi coast is stunning, so too the views across the Bay of Naples with Vesuvius in the background.

Look out for the heat haze though.

If you have time, ask to fly up the Liri valley and see the re-built monastery at Monte Cassino and the war grave next to it.

Can't help you with hourly charges I'm afraid.

Enjoy,

Lom
