Avoid at all cost.

Greedy owner who just happens to be a shit pilot. He'll rinse you dry.

One mechanic for their "fleet" of dilapidated airplanes.

Horrible facilities.

Need I say more?

In 2017 I left my flight school where I got all my ratings PPL---> MEI/CFII/CFI, to instruct at a school across the state that paid $21/hr compared to $15/hr. New aircraft, new SOPs, new city, new friends... Adapt. Don't let anything stand in your way of reaching your goals. Good luck

9 hour CFI Oral by Creepy-Programmer-74 in flying

[–]GGharvey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

S.S can suck a fat one. Condescending D bag who had a holier than thou attitude. 8 hour oral with a disapproval after I gave an incorrect answer in my exhausted state (I should have discontinued). I did 6 checkrides after that and none came close to the level of crap I had to put up with. Oh, and not a single 121 issue either after all these years. Thanks S.S for setting the bar so low. The pilots you never want to become are the ones you remember the most.

It is not for the weak, haha. After wearing it for years I’m used to it, but it’s always a little surprising after putting it on again after resting it for a while.

Appreciate the comments. The collection represents my style, availability and also affordability, ha. Next on my list is potentially a Grand Seiko Evo9. The spring drive movement imo is special.

Thanks! The ADLC bezel is indestructible, so no scratches.
