BLG123 Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 I have recently gained much intrest in both Summit and Sky Helicopters in the DFW area (Addison/Garland) for two main reasons. One being; they seem to have top notch facilities with instructors and personel second to none....and second; my brother and his wife live in argyle (outskirts of FW) so that is a HUGE plus. However i will now be looking at both of their costs when its all said and done, in comparison of one another. i do realize that they may have the same "bare mininmum" costs shown on their websites but i think it would still be nice to hear some input from those who made it through both and how big of a dent they aquired after the fact. I plan on using SM block loans of $20,000 at a time and braking that up into 6 dispersments at a time preventing un-wanted intrest growth. (talk to photoflyer for help he knows his stuff). i just need to know financially which school has the advantage over the other if thats even the case. if not.....great ill flip a coin hahaha.

BLG123 Posted May 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 Oh yeah as for Brazos Helicopters....i havent ruled them out completely but i cant seem to get near as much feed back on them as i have been able to with both Summit and Sky. annnnnd i was told by one of the owners of Brazos that i would be recieving a package with information on their contract agreements along with a business card. BUUUUUT that has yet to happen and thats NO bueno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADRidge Posted May 20, 2007 Report Share Posted May 20, 2007 The school at Weiser is Anything's Possible Aviation. David is a good guy, a helluva pilot, but my concern there is that it's a one-man operation. I don't see that as being a bad thing if you want to get a PPL on the weekends, but if you want to go full time and go "all the way", it might be something to think about.
