I was born in Panama. Whenever I finally get my ratings, they will be one of the first places I apply at. Maybe after at least a few hundred hours of flying students though.
Panama is an awesome place to live but it has gotten really expensive over the years.
Johns13b, where in Panama do you live? I lived all along the Canal Zone when my dad was a Pilot for the Canal. We stayed on both sides, CocoSolo, Margarita, Gatun (which is now gone from what I hear). On the Panama side we lived in Balboa Heights.
