Incidentally, one trusts that in true PPrune fashion, all the hour-swappees will post about how it went here (or maybe the first person to have an excuse, could start another thread for the purpose?)

Well, for my half, it was fantastic! (though predates this thread by months).

Excellent host, great plane (the type I had never been in before), and the flight around the Isle of Wight, and my old stomping grounds of Selsey and Bosham, was wonderful.

Now I hope my host will accept my invitation to come splashing in some Ontario Lakes!

Exchange of Aircraft...

Greetings all, Im in Calgary Canada and own a 2005 DA40 IO 360, Im keen about exploring the the posibilities of exchanging flight hours with someone that may want to visit Western North America, in turn I would want to borrow an European based aircraft for flights within Europe over a 3 week period.
I have a PPl W/Night rating and an FAA as well as Canadian certificate, the flying would be from England or Germany to and including Portugal, Spain & Morocco.
My DA40 has the latest G1000 and synthetic Vision, prefer high time pilots or G1000 experience.

Is this a workable proposition???
