Hey,
I'm trying to build a "flight school database" which has flight schools that are worth checking out. Basically, colleges with an aviation program. I'm not interested in these fast-track places. I want to go to a college that I can go straight to instructing my freshman year at college; transfer the certificates that I have or most of them, I don't want to go through training again. Also, somewhere that has great job employment after graduation. So far I'm interested in U.S. Air Force Academy (Military), Western Michigan University (WMU), University of North Dakota (UND). Can someone give me information on these schools and other good ones out there. Are there any good flight schools in Illinois around the Olivet Nazerene University area? And yes... I realize the USAFA isn't a flight school, I'm just curious on the different flight schools out there. Last question, would it be better to go the military route or civilian route when it comes to flying? I really like the USAFA but I don't know if I want to spend 4 years of my life not having one (a life). I'm thinking ROTC would be a good choice, or the ANG. Thoughts everyone... Sorry for all the questions, I just don't want to make a mistake when it comes to this brutal career.
