265.10Hello from LKG land and airNPSS::SHOOPJust visiting the OZONEWed Mar 05 1997 16:4316

	I will be traveling to the AYR plant in two weeks.
	I will arrive in country on Monday 17 (after an overnite flight).
	I will be in the plant from Tuesday (March 18) thru Friday (March 21).
	I will be staying in Scotland over the weekend and thru next friday
	(March 28).

	I understand that the Preswick(sp?) airport is close to AYR.
	Are any EURO_FLYING/SCOTLAND/AYR noter's based/rent from Preswick?

	What would be the approx time for a good sightseeing flight
	around Scotland? Please advise the hourly approx cost of a 
	4 seat (c172) (with CFI) rental in US dollars?

    I can't give you any first hand information but the latest copy of
    Pilot magazine lists most of the flying schools and their rates so it
    should give you some idea of the costs. If they can't fly you
    themselves, they probably know someone who can.

    (I included this one so that when you see all these planes on the
    ground, you know why they are not flying)
    
    At �1 = $1.60 (approx), it is going to cost you $160/hour. Prestwick
    has the most expensive flying schools in Scotland, the others (Edinburgh,
    Perth, Dundee, Aberdeen, Inverness, Fife & Wick) are cheaper by about
    �10.
