Just had a look there. You better stay away from the Christmas chocolates.

Please note due to aircraft limitations, voucher holders intending to fly must weigh no more than 90Kg and be no more than 6’3" / 1.9m tall.

Says 45 hours of tuition to get a licence. Any idea what that would cost? Presume it would be a fairly significant amount.

6.2"
87.7 KG

I was built for flying.

No idea, more money than I currently have I would say.

You’re made for it.

I’ll report back in January or February when I use it. Or you may see my name appear on the missing members thread in March/April. It’s up in the air for now.

At 87.7kgs with Christmas just around the corner I’d aim for February.
