I have been looking around the internet the past week for a nice flight school. I would like to take it in any of the following states

Arkansas Colorado Connecticut Delaware Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Missouri Nebraska New Hampshire New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Pennsylvania South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Vermont Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin.

Now my problem is that when I search I only get these colleges or weird commercialized advertizments. Any links or refferals are much appreciatted.

I'm a wood and fabric kind of guy.

You forgot New Jersey.

Roll Eyes

And a few more... but seriously, what search criteria are you using, and why such a broad search? Are you planning to relocate for the duration of your flight training?

It's very hard to find such reviews online... best thing to do is find a school and go check it out. while you're there, chat up somebody who'ds not affiliated with the school and ask them about it (the "locals" usually know everything about everybody at the airport).

I don't know much about them, except that they seem to offer a very professional program and the prices are average, but these are the new guys at 47N:

There's also a school at Princeton; I think they've been around a while.

I just learned at Solberg and had a really great experience there. They are especially good at not wasting your time like a few other places seem to be in the business of doing. Everyone there was willing to go the extra mile.

Thanks. They seems to be nice judging from what they are doing with the airport and seems to be friendly.

How's your training so far...

Yes, I'd forgotten there was a school at Solberg... unfortunately, the airport is threatened with closure, but it could take a while.
