    The Airplane

    Personally, if I were her I'd rather fly commercial on a B717 or a B777 with a perfect safety record (no fatalities) than in a Gulfstream or a B757 - military or not.

    Does anyone know the name of any prop firms in London that take on summer interns? BTW I mean genuine prop firms where you risk the firm's capital (as opposed to risking your own money) and get a percentage of the profits.
