Italian Eye Candy

Post by Flocker »

Just returned from a 2 week vacation in Italy. Of course, staying grounded for 2 weeks was not an option. A quick google search led me to a flight school outside of Rome with a fleet of single engine Cessnas. Here are some pics. Godere della vista!

I was wondering the same per hour, but my guess the flight cost is less than a helicopter tour. Usually when I vacation somewhere they offer aerial tours, I will reserve a 1 or 2 hour lesson instead of the helicopter tour. The cost is at least 40 - 60% less.

The other nice benefit the flight is not under the rules for sight seeing tours for the public. :)

The Cessna 152 I flew was €234,00/hr (includes fuel, airport taxes, and a CFI)
Worth every euro!!!
