Flying School in Florida / Texas

[Killol]

Hello Everyone...

I'm looking for flying schools in florida and texas, but not just to
search on the websites.... I'd like to get some first hand information
if anyone has, about particular flying clubs...
Could you just tell me where you've done your flying or where you've
heard that there is good flying and instruction? I'm looking for
something not too expensive, you know...

If you have any information could you let me know?

Thanks a lot!

Killol

There are hundreds, you'd have to narrow it down.

[Jim Macklin]

That means you need to tell us what ratings you are seeking?
Do you hold any certificate now? Are you a citizen? Do you
want to attend a school full-time and on a rapid pace or
will you be moving and getting a job, flying as you can work
it into your schedule?
Schools and clubs are two different things. There are three
basic kinds of schools, the FAA approved school; the
business that has a school [maybe approved or not] that also
is a full service FBO; and the school that does only
teaching but has not been approved [this is not a bad thing,
school approval is mostly about classroom space, record
keeping and number of toilets].

You can find a list of all FAA approved schools by browsing
www.faa.gov You can find other schools listed at
www.aopa.org and www.eaa.org

There are schools that are associated with colleges and
universities and there are schools that are just a very
skilled and often old CFI with a car and an airplane [car
old and air plane also old, both well maintained and clean].

security check.

LOL! I haven't hear that one before!

It really is a problem for two reason; isn't it a banned carry on?

What kind of accent? Spell it phonetically?

Otherwise, I didn't get it!

Not regular Chapstick (or lip stick).

I'm imagining Inspecter Cluseau (sp?) from the Pink Panther. It would
sound a bit like "bomb", with harder than normal "b"s.

well, this is the US version /faux news) of the story:
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,210039,00.html

another one:
http://www.nbc5.com/travelgetaways/9722064/detail.html

The story as it was told in Europe was that the security officer parsed his
"pump" as "bomb":

here another story - not related, but stupid:

http://www.canada.com/components/print.aspx?id=1c0072fe-4d98-44e4-8414-652f83e27868

When an iPod fell into a toilet on my flight to Ottawa this week,
authorities took no chances with such a perilous situation

When the pilot on my Ottawa-bound United flight from Chicago last Tuesday
came on the intercom to report a problem, I felt a trickle of panic, even
though he assured us that there was no cause for alarm. They had
discovered, he said awkwardly, an object on the plane that should not be
there. He had notified the authorities at Ottawa airport, and they would
handle the problem upon our arrival.

So I walked up to the stewardesses, both clamoring over the handbook, and
tapped one on the shoulder.
"So, I had an iPod before I went to the bathroom, and now I don't. I think
I know what's in the toilet."
We had a quick conversation. I told them, "You don't have to call the TSA
or anything, it's just my iPod." They said, "Oh, but we already did."
So now I'm starting to realize that this is turning into a big problem.
They offer their condolences, tell me that it's unfortunate, and I take a
seat. Okay. So far, not so bad. I return to my seat and spend the rest of
the flight trying to act normal.

well ... scary ...
