Re: My Parents Refuse To Let/Support Me To Become a Pilot
So I may not be the oldest and wisest person on this forum but I feel my young age qualifies me to say something regarding this topic. You may not understand now why your parents do not want you too be a pilot but one day you will. I think 99% of people on this forum would relive there young adult l...

Best Aviation Watch
Im currently looking for a new watch. I was looking for an aviation style watch but have a price point of 500-1000. Does anyone have any opinions about which watch is best??
Please dont say Breitling or any other watch in that price range, I cant afford it.

Carbon Monoxide
Ive always been a little concerned after catching my first glimpse of an aircraft heating system. Has anyone ever had issues with exhaust cracks causing carbon monoxide in the cabin? What happened? Im kind of curious because carbon monoxide is a undectable gas using human senses.

Re: Should I...
I agree with Hedley, bridges should never been burned. I am in the same situation, slowly completing my flight training while not incurring any debt. I personally would never incur debt on flight training.
But good luck on the choice you make.

Re: Living in YXU, lets hear about it.
London is a great area, went to college at Fanshawe. Man let me tell you, soon as spring comes, niiiiiiiiiice scenery every where you look. Maybe conduct a search on the outskirts of london. If you dont mind a drive there is great country areas around, maybve an extra 30 min drive.
