Used Sunlight sales posted:Student pilot checking in. As of today I have 22.9 hours in my book. And I thought the airport i was planning on doing flight school at was bad. (Well, one flight school flies out of the commercial airport in town, which gets surprisingly a lot of traffic between PPLs, commercial, and commuter. It's 4 gates of commuter flying to hubs, and a whole ton of FedEx/UPS flights. FedEx has some cool looking planes, and some local cessnas/pipers.) The other is the little airfield south of town, which is all farmland, but has better sounding instructors. The one flight school has "guy who is so obsessed with Top Gun it's all over his bio" one commercial pilot doing commercial shipping flights and flight instructing in his spare time, and one guy who used to fly for AA doing regionals but now works for the TSA...not exactly inspiring enough to be worth a measly $400 difference for the total cost of the PPL. I'd rather learn on grass runways than learn from "wannabe Maverick...but the airforce wouldn't let me in" especially cause all i wanna do is be able to rent a plane every now and then for a weekend and go on weekend adventures. Right now the limiting factor is the cost of the airtime. The instructor time isn't that bad, it's an extra $50 an hour, but the plane rental is $150/hr. I've done two hours of instructor time and loved every second of it, but that was two years ago. Being poor sucks. Especially when you want to fly.
