$70 to$100k for flight training is a bit much. You can get what you need for way less. Do a little more research. The problem is gaining flight experience. Nowadays you need 2500 hours to be a co-pilot. Having said that, we are looking at a huge pilot shortage coming soon. All us old bastids are retiring. Trust me, flying is a better life than driving a truck (not that there is anything wrong with that) I have done both. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Do tell old bastard

I live 10 mins from el Monte aeroport but have only found
Private pilot school for 6 k

And

A t p in long beach , 70 k for commercial pilot course


Having trouble finding much else near or in so cal

Just point me in the right direction , I'll beat down the door




Im 33 , if I was 10 years younger and had a college degree
I'd join the aero force usaaf in a second and they could teach me but that ship has sailed so to speak .


"Don't give me a p-39 with a engine thats mounted behind"
