The Flight Centre[/url] (who I fly with) have the largest fleet with all-diesel Warriors and a diesel DA40. .

I cannot see the prices for the PA28s for hire on the website ? Also, would they require a full year membership for occasionnal visitors ?

I’ll pay a visit anyway. Arriving at East Mids on next tuesday.

The best one was the day he was invited into the cockpit and all the passengers thought that the pilot needed the last sacraments !!!

We did it at East Midlands and it was a great experience and a lot of fun. Gill is still there, a very nice person. Unfortunately her husband had health problems a couple of years ago.

We hired a PA28 and flought to HalfPenny green – great !

Anyway I wonder why all of us PPLs don’t do that more often. The cost to join East Midlands with Ryanair was 1.5 hour and 20 euros included taxes ; any pilot from the UK could to the same and come fly here in France.

Now I’m looking for someone who would exchange houses / cars to make the trip even cheaper – anybody wanting to fly in the south of France (LFMS) ?

Thanks for all these links that I’m carefully listing and studying now. So I’ve almost given up with Luton and will decide on Liverpool or Easts Middlands. I realize that there is not an object as clearly identified as what is an ‘aeroclub’ in France. Here in the UK, it seems to me that it could be either a ‘school’ or or ‘flying club’ depending – I guess – on the emphasize on teaching or renting airplanes or people meeting around the bar ? Anyway, that will be part of the discovery.

Thanks again,
Benoit
