    Very similar in the US, but licensing is affordable. A fixed wing, single piston engine private pilot license before Sleepy Joe crushed us on fuel prices could be had for as little as $6000 from a Mom & Pop flight school out in the country if you go straight through without a hitch. Rotary wing however is a whole other league. You don't just pick that stuff up from other pilots. One word- Autorotation. Have fun with that!

    A fully functioning, enclosed cockpit helicopter with these kind of performance capabilities for only 60 grand is an absolute game changer. And there's 2 more models from these guys costing even less. Most ultralight choppers are $150K+ ...at least. However, you go strapping yourself into one of these with out a legit FAA chopper pilot license or the equivalent, you're a straight up idiot... full stop.

    I did professional aircrash recovery for a couple years and I can tell you without the slightest hesitation that the skies over the US are rife with absolute retards. It's a miracle we don't see cataclysmic destruction on a daily basis.

    We're off to Lofoten next year. I'll see if I can find that pitch.

    No problem. It's no more than 8 km off the E10 road you'll be following, and Henningsvær is worth a stop anyway.
