    FBOs

    Yep. That sums it up. So you can see why I’m impressed with the whole FBO thing in general. One thing I will miss about flying in the UK is due to the population density, there is almost always a fly in somewhere nearby every weekend. The downside being you’ll be lucky to get above 3000 given...

    I spent many years across the pond trying to justify a trip to Oshkosh. Believe me! I’ll definitely be visiting in 2018. She’s old but she gets the job done. $100 an hour wet too so happy days. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    FBOs

    Coming from the UK, the concept of FBOs at so many fields is very new to me.

    Ha indeed. I’m not complaining. Flying costs about half as much as I was paying back home. Plus the culture around no landing fees, lots of airfields, more open airspace etc is very refreshing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    You're right in that is a real pain. That's exactly why I'm going to through the process as if I'm just any other student pilot......except one who already has a load of solo time :) I went and did my 150nm cross country a few weeks ago to at least show the DPE that I'm not just trying to bend...

    Piloting sacrifices

    Try as I might, my wife is not interested in coming flying. At all! So that's lucky, dude!

    Hi everyone! I recently relocated to Cincinnati Ohio having lived in the UK all my life. I got my PPL 19 years ago aged 17. I originally had a full ICAO licence that would have been recognized by the FAA, however after 9/11 the industry took a downturn, so I decided not to pursue aviation...
