\o/ My time has come

[Danny]

\o/ I've booked my PPL with https://www.flyoba.com/

15th June - 7th July

I'm going with a few mates from uni to make it more fun.

Incase your wondering it's costing me 3k for the PPL itself and £377 for the flight to and from Florida. The PPL price includes everything except food.

Look out at Bulldog bash for me trying to land a 152 on the strip.

Good luck mate, take some boiled sweets so your ears don't pop. Are you actually going to buy a plane?

Maybe one day.

I'm studying to be a commercial pilot so getting my PPL is one of the first steps.

Oh I just realised not everyone will know what PPL stands for: Private Pilot's License.

Hey Danny!
You will love it.
I train in a 152 too!

Top speed: about 125 MPH : almost the same as my bike.

Normal fuel consumption: 23 liters per hour (varies with throttle setting) : Makes a storm/TL look good.

Remember to watch the film Iron Eagle before you go Danny.

You have to "Run the Snake" and play that dodgy 80's music too
Good luck and take some sweeet pics so we can all be jealous

{edit} I have it on DVD Remember to check that no one has loosened your oil pressure cap before you fly!

Maybe you could go for the whole 80's flying film package and change your handle to Maverick...

"Maverick and Goose!" {edit}

Can't beat a good Cessna. Good luck, wish I was flying too...

By booking you PPL do you mean you've booked your first lesson or that you've booked the test?
Have you already done your 40 ( ) hours of flying?

[Danny]

I'm doing my theory for the PPL now at uni.

I'll be doing all the exams and flight training in Florida, it's 55 hours last time I checked.

[MarJay]

Remember to strap your walkman to your knee, and watch out for the mountains!

So this is what you've been saving up for, sounds cool anyway. Good Luck with it all!

Teehee, Nice one matey. There's an internet cafe in Daytona and some wicked clubs. But I would only recommend going to them after the bulk of your flying. I want lots of pics so I can see if there's anyone still there.

Watch out for the Embry Riddle guys. They have a habit of hitting flagpoles
And have fun matey! I bloody did

Oh, how comes you chose the Cessna and not the arrow/seminole route?
