potatoman 0 #9 March 27, 2014 If you go to Missisipi..... There they have open days for pilots, actually, every other Saturday is open day. You just go there, fill in the indemnity form, and you can fly. They don't even check for a license. You can then choose between the C206RG, the Twin Otter, or the PAC750XL. You have to drop a few jumpers, but after that, you can empty the tanks to where ever you want to go, but please keep in mind the 45min reserve. You can contact them by e-mail: [email protected] Best of luck.You have the right to your opinion, and I have the right to tell you how Fu***** stupid it is.

Amazon 7 #16 March 31, 2014 abhishek6383Any one knows cheap schools or does anyone know someone who is willing to help me with his/her aircraft and let me accumulate hours. Would appreciate all the help Uh... NO Join an aero club.. usually cheaper than commercial outfits.. OR as suggested.. the Military does an adequate job... but you need a pretty good education first and last I checked basket weaving degrees are not highly sought after. Did I mention there might be a few "strings" attached to driving government airplanes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kallend 1,646 #18 March 31, 2014 Do what I did and BUY YOUR OWN PLANE. Then hire a rookie instructor who wants to build hours. And when you pass your flight test, you still have the plane....
