libertypilot Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hi, I'm an American student currently going to school in Montreal who has a private pilot's certificate in helicopters from the FAA. I wanted to continue flying, but its almost twice as much per hour here than it was back in Pennsylvania! So I'm looking at perhaps making a commute across the border to continue flying. I was wondering if there are any flight schools in Upstate New York? All I have found in the area is Mansfield Heliflight in Vermont. I was hoping for something a little closer to Montreal.

heligirl03 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Where are you at in Montreal? I am from Vermont and did my undergrad in Biochem at McGill! I think I remember hearing something about an Enstrom doing some training up there in NNY, but other than that the closest I know of is C-R Helicopters in Nashua, NH.....far. Hopefully the Enstrom person will chime in!! I have a friend flying utility outside Albany, I will ask him if knows of anyone up that way and post back. Good luck in Montreal, I spent 6 great years up there...love it. HG03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 north andover flight academy (boston area company) is opening a branch in alexandria bay, ny. you could take the 401 up the river, and cross over right in alex bay. it's a new op, so i'm not sure if they're up and running, yet.
