Why fly

Forty minutes to Victoria. A ladder that does not end at the licence.

$22,508 to $48,057 for the same licence.

All 26, six aerodromes, and the number to call.

Every certificate checked: Against Transport Canada's register. Not against a website.
3 schools nobody lists: In no directory, no search result. We found them in the register.
No invented prices: Rates came from phoning. No quote, no number.
