" But if you show competance they'll let you go in it. " Solo? My guess is that you would first have to show a serious interest in aerobatics and take a full checkout in the citabria and then a full checkout in the pitts and yeah, you're looking at probably sinking a few grand just on the dual stuf...

By far the best flight school I have ever experienced. I got my night rating and tail dragger endorsement there two summers ago and I was totally pleased with the entire operation even though the airspace can get pretty hectic around the time the cadets start to solo. Steinbach North is only 2 minut...

Want to be flying a beaver on floats somwhere over northern canada with twotter right seat and c180 under my belt as well

But dont EVER call the rest of us "assholes" because we didn't work a ramp for min wage! And if you really think you're a better pilot because ...

Hey, the link doesn't work anymore >:(
