First of all, it sounded interesting until you said it was in Roswell. Almost as scenic as Laughlin AFB!
Secondly, is this a British company handling flight training? Seems odd since the USAF used to fly British aircraft (T-3 Firefly) and had US instructors. What are they flying now?
Yes Serco is a British based company. They have a lot of gov't contracts. They handle all the West and SW FAA Contract Tower contracts. Looks like they are getting together with the DOD for USAF IFT now.
A little organization to IFT would not be bad. As it is right now, aero clubs and civilian flight schools handle it and it is not standardized. I had a good time teaching IFT over the years. I wouldn't mind doing it again. I agree, Roswell is less than desirable.

Bummer man. Back when it was at Hondo International Airport (Texas), we were flying T-3s, doing full aerobatics (without parachutes) until the guys at the zoo started having engine problems. Fun airplane to fly.
Hondo was an experience too.....http://www.rtis.com/reg/hondo/city_of_hondo.htm
