Default LONDON

Biz trip to London - leaving this weekend. Thinking of doing some
flying there. I'm an American PP-SEL-IA. Suggestions on where to go, etc.?



I presume you are talking about London England, not Ontario...

(I hate to be picky...but how about a more descriptive subject line?)


Well, then quit being picky.

Just kidding. :-} I figured "London, UK" would be the "default".
Thanks for the info.



Last time I was in the UK, I flew with a CFI out of Norwich airport.
Was about $225/hour-ish for a PA28 + CFI. About 2 hrs NE of London,
a bit far for you, but you get the idea.

Plenty of places to go fly...
Once you get there, open the phone book and call a few flight schools.
FYI, London is basically a Massive "Class B" type area...you may have
to get a little ways out of town to find what you want.

If you have time, check out Duxford air museum aka Imperial War
Museum, near Cambridge. UK equivalent of Wright-Pat.


Best of luck...Don
