Got my CFI in 1973, GI Bill paid 90%, cost me about $125, I rented a C-150 for $5.00/hr dual. Paid $275 for my ATP in a Grumman Tiger in 1978. That is all the flight training I have paid for.

Grumman Tiger? You got a SEL ATP? Or did you mean Grumman Cougar?

I went to "RIDDLE" cost 100k after that I spent another 70k for right seat time. "At Riddle" we get the best training and "at Riddle" yada yada yada......
J/K I did my training at the local FBO cost 45k instructed there and if I ever have to hear the phrase "well at Riddle....." again I think I'm going to puke. There is always one in ground school

04-06 zero time to MEI around 29-30k for everything. Made about 10k of that back instructing...all at a state university. Not bad considering some of these stories.

Your an old fart.

Remember the days of truging down to the FSDO---no, back then it was called the "GADO"... to do your writtens? I did all my tickets with the Feds or a DE. Private thru CFI, even a SES and A&P all under 15K.

P.S. Got some C-45 and DHC-1 experience. See if the "youngins'" can fugure out what they are without googling them.
