Hi Mike and Cesar,

I've arrived back in the UK now after a long flight, I just wanted to say thank you to Sunstate Aviation for helping me achieve my objective of building 25 hours PIC time.

Before I arrived I was doubtful whether a week would be long enough to meet this aim, but the combination of aircraft availability, friendly and helpful staff and fantastic weather meant I was done ahead of schedule.

I appreciate the help I was given by Sunstate a lot. Please pass on my thanks also to Nancy, Steve and Jared for their assistance and support.

With thanks again and hope to see you soon,

Tom W.
