Absolutely that would be awesome and hopefully i will make it back soon.

Just got back late last night. Great trip. Awesome place but i never connected with Air Puerto Rico Corp. for a flight. Didn't get an immediate response to my email a week or so ahead of the trip, then i got FB message reply. Said they were full up. Then an email reply said the same but they...

Hello Anyone from PR or know of a decent place to fly with an instructor for an intro/ sightseeing flight? I am a student pilot and headed there in a couple weeks for TG family vacation and thought it might be fun to check it out. I believe we will be in the Rincon area and i know there is an...

still available?

That's awesome! I'm sure your daughter loved it regardless of the funny tummy. I hope to get my 5 year old boy up with me soon, probably be a couple years before I get some time and more importantly convince my wife to allow it. How was that with you? If you get a chance bring her out to I69...

I'm trying to desperately to get to solo... so close. I was up at HAO practicing landings with my instructor on Saturday afternoon. We followed a Cub around the pattern a couple times. Occurred to me that maybe you made it out to Hogan? I've been up there for practice a couple times, even...

Cheap, clean, available. As a Pre-solo student who is having-right now at this moment- a hell of a time getting scheduled at a school with 20+planes and 30+ instructors, even while i'm taking some time off work, availability is probably key. When weather is factored in, not having availability...

Absolutely. I'm anxious to meet new people in aviation especially when things open up. Well i got antsy and officially began my training at I69. Already having concerns about not finding the right instructor...i'm probably being a little picky. I don't know why but Butler Co. didn't really come...

Thanks for all the thoughts. A lot of these comments are all on my mind from one moment to the next, comfortable job sometimes, its nice, but... sometimes risks are worth taking, etc. Whether it is a tinge of mid-life crisis or just a sign of the times, i am definitely guided by a sense of...

Yeah my pension, insurance, etc. are the big things that have kept me hanging on this long. Can't say i'm miserable, but the general morale sometimes on the jobsite is tough to deal. Seems like in my limited experience so far, people in Aviation are at least happy to be there. I'm sure the...

Yeah i was a little surprised at the pay level even for an experienced A&P. The aviation economy is kind of a crazy thing. So much expense in training, ownership, maintenance, etc. some of this is understandable...but seems like maybe it doesn't make it's way down to the poor sap whose...

Struck up a conversation with the nice young gentleman A&P yesterday at the local FBO while getting paperwork in to start my PPL training. He invited me into the hangar to talk about maintenance, ownership, show me the flight school planes they are working on, a little of everything. I had been...

Just FYI there is a nice '81 Dakota 1/4 partnership at EYE listed on Trade a plane.

I'm looking for something very similar but i live in Cincinnati area. I would prefer to do some of my PPL in it as well. If that is deal breaker, a time builder/ instrument trainer would be nice to have partners on as well. How far would you drive?

Having trouble finding info on this and i have not heard back from using "contact us" form. I registered with my full name assuming "display name" is the one seen on posts. Would like to change my screen name or delete account and re register. Any ideas?

True, good point. I have a lot on my mind. I figured i would separate them out in a few threads.

Hi i am 40 years old, recently getting into flying hoping to work towards my PPL in the spring. I am interested in training, possible pilot careers, possible maintenance careers (currently in construction), and partnerships. Thanks

Hello bfmetcalf and PoA, Have you been in or flown in the area much? My first post- i might be able to contribute. Not a pilot, but there a lot of options all within about 40+ mins. I have been doing a little self guided "tour" of area flight schools in an effort to make an informed decision as...
