Hello, I know virtually nothing about flying, but am planning on
getting a private flying license. I have already talked to a few of
the schools in and around the Tukwila/Renton Washington area, and want
to know which is the best all around school.

Far be it from me to say which flight school is best, but you might
want to check us out at PAVCO at Tacoma Narrows in Gig Harbor (I have
some loyalty to the place). The bridge toll might get kind of old,
though.

You have listed some schools that I would avoid on account of their
being too impersonal or too expensive. You have also listed some good
ones. You might want to check out Auburn, too.


So what should I do,

P.S.: It's all for fun and remotely work related. But, I can be able
to pretend that I will to become an astronaut some day. [[:-))

You should start learning to fly. You will never find the 'best' flight
school or instructor, of course. The grass is always greener somewhere
else. AFAIK PAVCO is the only local flight school that has actually
produced an astronaut. :-)
