850? Do want!
Nice, looks a lot like the TBM. A friend of mine has a PC-12 and it's an awesome plane to fly on as well. Love those single engine turbo props!texagdoc said:Piper JetPropaggieforester05 said:

Is an amazing plane and way cheaper to operate than the TBM.

Since you want more pics, here is a sweet shot of my current ride!
I have a friend looking at PC-12s now. That thing will haul a ton and meets my wife's criteria for a really nice plane ("does it have a potty"). A little out of my league right now.aggieforester05 said:Nice, looks a lot like the TBM. A friend of mine has a PC-12 and it's an awesome plane to fly on as well.

Planning to start training in BCS. Any recommendations for flight schools in the area? Thanks.
Helos are an absolute blast but expensive to build hours in (only have 9.1 currently), and can only do a lesson a week.aggieforester05 said:
I really want to take a helo lesson, looks like a lot of fun!
Notice the sparks and fire in the hub? Wheel bearing went out.Quote:
really makes you wonder what else is loose!
Where I live/work there is an oversupply of fixed wing instructors and lots of available planes, but zero helo training available. I know a couple of guys that have private helos, but they're not instructors or interested in doing so. I might have to make the trip to Dallas to do a discovery flight soon, but getting a license isn't really an option for me right now.Oryx said:Helos are an absolute blast but expensive to build hours in (only have 9.1 currently), and can only do a lesson a week.aggieforester05 said:

AOPA financing and block payments is the way to go I've heard.
Yea, the amounts of Robinson/300C schools can be a bit underwhelming. Although I think if you have a fixed wing rating, your hours requirement for a rotary license is a bit lower. Still kinda sucks, because the CFIs say there's a huge rotary driver shortage on the civilian side, and military pilots getting out want that sweet airline job with advancement instead of the rather limited rotary job.aggieforester05 said:Where I live/work there is an oversupply of fixed wing instructors and lots of available planes, but zero helo training available.

Veracity has a location in Pearland, other than that I would imagine Houston.src94 said:
So where would the closest rotary instruction be to College Station?
