Firefly Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Hello,I've been trying to do a bit of research on my local schools. I haven't actually visited, yet, but intend to do this, soon! I promise. However, I was hoping that someone may have trained in my area, and could give me their suggestions and opinions? I'm very interested in Adventure Helicopters, Inc...in Everett, WA. From what little info I've found, so far, it seems like a great option (mostly because it's closer to where I live, though, too. )But, there is also a school near Seattle, WA. Classic Helicopter Corp. Seattle isn't horribly far or anything, so, it's also an option. And, of course, I've been reading up on the questions that I should ask, and what to look for when I visit,...etc...etc. But, if anyone has any suggestions or extra advice for that, please share those, too. Especially, anything that I should be weary of?!And, thanks in advance for your assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascott20 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Look at Glacier Helicopters... I think they have 2 locations in WA (1 in Olympia for sure and another in Seattle I think) You won't be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DukeChin Posted May 15, 2006 Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 Well, it turns out I am moving to Seattle after all. I just got a good job offer up there and so, thanks to this thread, I also now know where to look for flight schools up there. Hopefully the commute to Glacier won't be too bad. Thanks guys!
