Never heard of then before and never seen them advertising in UK magazines.

I and many others have been to Naples Air Center who are pretty good.

Twins or singles? If singles will work for at least part of the time, I suggest
you investigate flying clubs in whatever area you find for your multi time.
They are typically 1/3 cheaper than rentals and with better, cleaner, airplanes.
But you will want to look carefully at buy-in prices, monthly dues, etc.

For example: http://clubcherokee.com/fleet.html (the rates are for tach time, so
on the Warriors & Archers that is 10-20% less than Hobbs time.)

I don't know about other clubs, but if you showed up at our meetings and
said you expected to fly every day for a few months and then quit, we'd
would not accept your application. We want people who want to belong to a
club, not abuse our planes and then leave.

Interesting. Our club is just the opposite. Our airplanes (7) are not heavily
used during the week. We would be very happy to have a short-term member who
wanted to fly a lot, especially during the week. As to abuse, nobody wants that
but I didn't infer from the original post that it was the intention.

Hi,

I should be grateful if you could give me some information about your club
(aircraft, price,...)

Many thanks,

My experience is that there are people who want to belong to a club, and
people who treat you like a cheap FBO. And it's people in the latter
category who leave garbage in the planes, don't squawk problems, don't top
up the oil, don't tie down properly or replace the cabin covers, etc.

We want people who feel a sense of ownership in the planes, and will treat
them like they were proud of them.

Agreed.

Are you hour building or flight training???

If you have your licenses & ratings already, I suggest finding a cheap
block rental price at a school or locating a good reasonable flying club.
There are several clubs in San Diego that have very reasonable rates
($70-75/hr for a 172). Check out these two large ones as a referance:

http://www.plusone.org
http://www.goldenwingsflyingclub.com/

If you are still flight training, go to this site:

www.Private2ATP.com

They have thousands of U.S. flight school listings and a message board as
well. Plus, you should also visit the message forums on these very popular
US pilot websites:

www.jetcareers.com
www.flightinfo.com

Pretty much anyone in the aviation industry here has heard of
FlightInfo.com and Jetcareers is becoming HUGE. Their boards will be very
helpful.
