Amazing! This Cedar Rapids, Iowa TV station did a 2-part piece on
learning to fly -- and did a wonderful job!

The CFI in both segments, Tim Bush, is outstanding. He's a real
pistol, locally, with a zillion ideas for growing GA, and endless
energy to boot.

If only we could get more publicity like this....

Only part I'd disagree with is the six month duration for completing
training. When I was a full time instructor, the folks that only had
the weekends to fly would take the better part of a year owing to
weather and unavoidable schedule conflicts. As far as cost, if you
could get it done for $5k you're lucky. Here in CT it's closer to $7k
with the run-up in fuel costs.
