Me, too. My son finished his for right around $5K.


With a price differential that great, any European flight student
would be way ahead financially to simply rent a suite here while
attending our local flight school. We had a French fellow do that
here last spring, well before the run-up of the Euro; it makes even
more sense now.


It is not just Europe but also Asia and lots of schools are already
addressing the off shore training market.

For example, there is a helicopter training outfit at KSBD that caters
to the Asian market; it is sometimes a challenge to understand what
the students in the pattern's position and intentions are.
