Cool idea. We've thought of it before, but haven't found an
affordable advertising venue that "hits" the right crowd.

The flying magazines. In fact, if those prices are even half-true and
with the dollar exchange rate being what it is, get together with the
nearest Part 141 school, build a package for overseas pilots and
advertise in the British and German magazines. Hour building, basic
training and advanced training for ME, commercial, instructor or
instrument ratings are all of interest.

We had a French guy stay with us last summer for a month, while he
finished up his Private with a local CFI. It worked out well for all
concerned.

Trouble is, I doubt anyone would want to train here in the winter,
which is the only time we're not full. As much as I'd love to do
this, there's little sense in my paying to enhance our business during
the nice weather, cuz you can't fuller than full.

I've got it! We need student pilots from, say, Siberia to come here
to train in the winter, when we're slow and we've got lots of
available suites. They will think the weather in Iowa is quite tame,
and we'll have some interesting people show up at Movie Night!
