Pre-takeoff checklist
Looking to rent a plane to take some family on a ride around the holidays. Anyone have any recommendations?
Hi,
My recommendation would be Solo Aviation in Ann Arbor.
Cheers,
Oliver
KPHN. I'll send details by PM.I'll be about smack dab in the middle of the thumb in Yale, about 20 miles west of Port Huron.
I'd like to keep the drive down to a hour or so, but a little further isn't the end of the world.

Sorry to keep jumping on your thread. I miss my home =(
I've had some good experiences with Marine City Aviation too if it doesn't work out at PHN. 3000' runway is a tad difficult to spot depending on how you approach, but the folks are great, and they have some nice airplanes and an owner who has some pretty cool stories =)
Marine City is plenty close and it looks like they have a pretty nice fleet, I shot them an email asking what I need to do to rent them.
I miss home too, I grew up in Yale.
edit:
Post 172 woo!
You'll need a checkout but they are pretty easy going once you demonstrate that you're a competent pilot. As I said, their rental rates are pretty low... last I checked (summer 2012), you could still rent 739RX ('78 C172) for <$100. 386ES is a newer model 'hawk and of course costs more.Marine City is plenty close and it looks like they have a pretty nice fleet, I shot them an email asking what I need to do to rent them.
Tell them the guy in 7644G sent you. Then they'll tell you the stupid thing I did on their runway...
They even make shaped-like-a-mitten oven mitts with a matching UP version.
