cl600pilot Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Are there any schools in Ohio? Preferably in the southern half of the state. There was a place in Middletown but it is apparently no longer in operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin I'm also at Fairfield County, and have been very happy with both of the instructors I've worked with. They currently only have one helicopter (a Hughes 269A, very similar to a Schweizer 300), but it's relatively available when I'm not screwing around with it...

These guys seem to really have it together and are looking at expanding into R44s . I would recommend them based on first impression. Plus they have FlyIt simulators.

When I wrote this, they only had the one Hughes; they now have two Hughes 269s and a Schweizer 300 (I'm not sure of what particular version). They also have the MD500, but I don't know how much training they do in it. I'm still very happy with the people there--they've taken very good care of me so far.

spencer Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 Intrepid Helicopters up in Toledo Ohio is now accepting students. We offer r-44 Raven II training for 365 an hour. Additionally if someone was interested in a lot of r-44 time building, (50-70 hours or more) a very appealing discounted rate can be discussed.

Strikefinder Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 At Fairfield County Airport, the helicopter and fixed-wing flight schools have been separated. The helicopter training is now done by J&S Aero (same folks, just separate entity). Their new website is located at http://www.jsaero.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
