I think that these shots are better than mine as they show what it really looks like!

So ian - what does your course involve? Are you training to be an engineer or something?

Which university are you at?

I might buy myself an introductory flying lesson somewhen soon and then save for my PPL and then save a further £45000 for my Frozen ATPL commercial rating with IFR and then look for a job!

I'm at the University of Manchester, and I'm not quite sure what I will be once I have graduated - although I think I am going to specialise in Aerospace and Avionics as my 3rd/4th year options. I'll be an engineering and hopefully designing new Airbus's or Space Shuttles

You can get intoductory flying lessons quite cheap, although the best bet may be to find a pilot at an Aero club that wants to get a few more hours logged. You will basically pay for fuel and he/she will take you up and let you have a play and talk you through things, this is often much cheaper. Of course, if you have the money or want to log some hours youself - flying lessons are the way to go.

Now that is an awesome idea Ian - well done!

I have an airfield called Lasham right near me so i may investigate. Would like to fly a cessna 172 skyhawk or something of that nature - nice and easy to learn on.

I believe airfuel is called AVGAS and its quite expensive over here - even so, it would be nothing compared to a lesson where profit is made!

Thanks Ian - would never have thought about that with my brain cell...

oh if you do design airbusses TELL THEM TO GET RID OF THE FREAKIN JOYSTICK

also make the cockpits more aesthetically pleasing as sone by boeing...
