Flight Schools In Illinois

[TXLonghorn]

Hello, I've been reading these message boards for a number of months and have decided to start my training. I have decided on a school in the Dallas, TX area. I do have another opportunity to move to Illinois for work, which I'm not wild about moving from Texas to some place that cold. Anyway, does anyone know of a flight school in or near Peoria, IL?

Thanks.

I live in Peoria and know of only one that has a helicopter and that is in Kankakee. I am looking for a partner in my Mooney and maybe in a helicopter so maybe we can work something out. At the very least we can share the cost of flying to Kankakee.

i fly with Chicago Helicopter out of Naperville, they are a part 61. I am in the Coast Guard and got transferred up here last august and decided to take the plunge since i live here in Naperville myself. I looked all over for a school, and the ones i found near here are Chicago Helicopter, Sun Aero near the Il/In border, A&M Aviation out of Clow Airport in Bolingbrook, Rotors and wings in kankakee, and there is another one in Schaumburg, but i can't remember the name, great guy, i had spoke with him before. Good luck.
