College Fleet

[FL530]

Here is what this college has:

16 Cessna 172 Skyhawks, bought new in 2000
Cessna 172 RGs
2 Beech Duchesses
Piper Super Cub
Several gliders
Hot-air balloon
Piper seneca
Beech baron
King Air A90

Sound good? Are these good planes to train in? THANKS

Sounds like a great fleet! I'd highly recommend beginning training in the King Air, although the hot air balloon runs a close second. Best of luck.

I second the above comments, sounds like a great plan.

What college are you talking about?

Who cares when you have a fantastic avatar like that to look at?

 

[Lrjtcaptain]

Took over "YOUR" Anna's avatars huh? I just joined this board and made this one myself.

Are all of these aircraft devoted to training students? Somehow, I suspect the King Air might be to haul the college president around and that students may not be given real opportunities to fly it.

The variety is intriguing. I can understand the Cub and the gliders - good airmanship training. But why the balloon?

I know a good source of hot air to fill the balloon.

Now Now, lets not knock balloons, I think perhaps we need a section for ballooning.
Come on there have to be some pilots out there with their lighter than air rating.
Oh, Bobby you need to drive about 70 miles south this Labor Day for some ballooning fun. See you there!!!!!!

I have ridden in hot-air balloons twice, long before I learned how to fly airplanes. I did it about twenty-four years ago during my radio days. A lighter-than-air pilot heard us give traffic reports during our morning drive newsblock. I was asked to come aboard and give traffic reports from the balloon. It was fun. I wished that I knew more about flying airplanes back then so I could have had a greater appreciation of my flight. I was doused with the champagne after the flight.

And if on top of that you can't type, what are the bomshells REALLY going to think!???

Our chief pilot thought they were good looking too!!

FL530,
Are you going to this college right now? If so what are the rates like? How do they role in paying for flight time into your tuition?

My school brags about being the most heavily funded avitation school in the country because we get alot of NASA grants, but we only own a giant C-152 "Heavy". I almost shat myself I when I heard this.

Later,
JS
