OK so last week I went back to Seletar to check out the Seletar Flying Club after having spoken to the Republic of Singapore Flying Club earlier. And yes, they are marginally cheaper:One time joining fee: $1000 ( Read more... )

Get the monthly membership, go for a dual and then say "Uncle/auntie, ah, move over, can?"

Cannot lah! I'm still flying when it's a dual, but if I tell him to move over, move over where?

What I meant was go for a dual and the instructor to pretend he is a passenger or something.

Scuba diving is cheaper :)

Flying is 10× more expensive than diving, but it also makes you feel 10× more alive! ;D

Besides, I'm also diving in addition to doing this lor. More $$$! :(

Yar man. I don't mind the $1k as much as the $80 every month. It's like even if I don't fly, it's $80.

So to make it worth, have to fly at least once a month? So each flight actually costs $330! I can do that when I'm an FO lah, but now...?

That said, I'm really itching to fly a GA aircraft again. :(

I think the difference is not the same as the instructor fee; maybe the cost of solo flying already takes care of the instructor's fee somewhat and the $25 is for bothering him to actually have to fly.

Heh it was a stroke of luck really-I heard this song while driving on Lush 99.5 and I made a mental note to track it down and download it.

I love music like this. You have any other tracks to recommend?
