Default RE: Who flies turbines in Devon?

Hi Dave

Welcome back to the UK, and thanks for bringing some good Aussie weather with you!

I don't have a feel for the operating costs of turbines, and with juice at a quid a litre and maybe 3 litres a flight, it looks on the face of it as if the running costs could get expensive (in relation to income of course!). I do wonder just how much flying per year most jet jockeys on moderate incomes do achieve.

Oh well. We'll see.

Just have to keep practising with the little-uns for now

Gordon
