Aberdeen Flying Club

[Richard Taylor]

Maybe just missed it but I haven't heard the Warrior 'OZ flying recently.

Anyone know if the new club are still going.

[Computer says NO!]

Take a look at their prices and that may answer your question Richard!!

Who pays this sort of money to fly a SEP??

An email came out on the 13th stating that OZ had suffered door damage while on the ground, presumably by someone putting their full weight on it while entering/exiting the aircraft.

They think it'll be out of circulation for 2 weeks, and will update in a couple of days.

They also state that the club would be taking delivery of it's next aircraft "soon".

Everyone wants cheap flying, but all the clubs in the past have gone as quickly as they came, that instability helps nobody, especially students who have to constantly change schools/aircraft/instructors etc. Aberdeen is an expensive airport and so is the avgas. Interestingly, HJS helicopters at Peterculter (near Aberdeen Airport) charge about £250 for an hour for a single engine piston R22, and they seem to be out the door with students and are a very successful training provider in the UK. It would seem the money is out there, just depends how much people want to learn to fly and whether they look at the bigger picture and not just the hourly cost. Judge first on quality then consider if it is good value...
OZ has been out of action for a short while for repairs, club remains in good shape

Everyone wants cheap flying,

and you can get it if you go to other places! Plenty of places where you can hire a decent 4 seater for £100/hr with free landings
