The news definitely came as a shock. Paul's generosity through scholarships many years in a row is in part what got to me where I am today.

Is the Metro 3 (SW3) technically a high performance aircraft, allowing the holder of a CPL and an appropriate rating to sit in the left seat? Not saying it's necessarily a good idea...but it could happen.
