Flight school near Denver?

In that case, I'd probably just go there. You'd probably just end spending more gas money for your car than you would save driving any where else.

I spent a lot of time at Front Range, Centennial and JeffCo when 100-LL was much cheaper than it is now. Think $35 an hour wet....

Front Range anyday.

Well obviously i'd like to save money where possible, but i'm not a super penny pincher. I mean I'm willing to drive for quality instruction if there's much better alternatives at another airport.

Flown out of KAPA but KBJC is definitely lighter on traffic. I did some of my helo time there.

Just go around and talk to some of the schools, you'll get a feel for how they are.

When I was a flight instructor about 15,000 hours ago, there was nothing worse than sitting out at the end of a runway waiting for 5 airplanes to land all while the meter ticks away. Good for the flight instructor pay, but that's about it.

I think either Rocky Mountain or Front Range would be good places to start looking. Especially since they are both tower controlled, so you'll get some experience dealing with ATC.

Either way, good luck Adamking84.

Back in Boston my instructor and I spent an hour and the half on the tarmac waiting for Hillary Clinton's C-17 to takeoff, in 100+ degree heat. On the plus side we got to watch an F-18 escort do touch and go's for an hour, so that was pretty cool.

I'm going to head up and check out McAir Aviation tomorrow, there's a few others i'm going to hit as well.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys

HAH!!! Just the product of doing it for 19 years now. Which only means I'm getting old.

I got my private back on the east coast and haven't flown since I moved here 10 years ago. The airport in Erie, CO (EIK) is where I would go. It is just north of E470 and Broomfield. Here is a link to the FBO: http://www.vectorair.net/Flt.htm
