discovery flight near Boston?

[GeorgeC]

I'd like to give the gift (curse?) of a discovery flight this Christmas. Can anyone recommend a flight school in the Framingham area? KORH, maybe?

Hmm, not answering their phones or email. Maybe not...

Try Ed Urbanowski. He's got a few planes in Sterling and Spencer. I don't have his number off hand, but it's not a common name. He also uses Urban Aviation.

Mansfield, MA www.king1b9.com where I am based (I live in the Framingham area).

If not, Norwood will work as well

Both of those do business with pilotjourney.com's discovery flight thing, for which there is a half off coupon code. Thanks!

I'll second king aviation. They have a nice fleet, good instructors (two of my friends finished up there), and the Deneens are nice people. David part times at my home Marshfield, so I see him occationally. As prices go, not the most expensive.

Thanks! I'll suggest to the victim that he redeem the voucher at 1B9

The gift was very well received. Thanks for all the help!

On a similar note, I sold my xplane/yoke/pedals simulator rig recently. As it turned out, the buyer had a 15 year old son who was interested in aviation, so I tossed in my Jeppesen private pilot manual.

I think I've crossed over from being an aviation addict to an aviation pusher
