screename6785 Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 http://www.wdsu.com/r-video/25633513/detail.html Not sure if this has been posted before, but I just saw it. I grew up about an hr or so from here, and did my flight training not to far from there at Vortex/Bristow. Input? 1 Quote
Inferno Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Great.... This doesn't bode well for the CA flight school bill... Personally, any operation requiring all flight training costs up front sets alarm bells off in my head. My employer recommends students pay as they go, for just that reason. Also, where did he get the $28k price tag? Seems too good to be true for a private, commercial and instrument. 1 Quote

Horrible that this still happens but we have been speaking out against this for about 4 years now. Shouldnt take much research to set off the warning bells. 1 Quote
r22butters Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Is this an old one, that FAR/AIM was from 2008? Quote
screename6785 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Posted November 11, 2010 Is this an old one, that FAR/AIM was from 2008? Well, I know it has been over a yr or so since they went under, but I think the story is just now getting out. Quote
copter doctor Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 There is a posting on Trade-a-plane for a couple of Helicopters and airplanes from a closing flight school in that town. Quote
ADRidge Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 I feel bad for the families. Kind of. Spend an afternoon surfing around and you'll learn PDQ that putting large sums of money down is just bad news. Quote
