Thanks for the info.

FWIW Got my rating at NorCal with Terry
Campbell. She has a 150/150 that she flys out of a pond on a cattle ranch just outside Angels Camp in the foothills. You can do some awesome canyon flying and mountain flying. She also has the one and only Apache on floats thats based CPU- San Andreas about 80nm from the bay area. If you have the time to get there that would be my recommendation.
Don't know about the others I think the Beaver is mostly tours,but not sure.
the one out of Napa flys out of Snug Harbor/Walnut Grove in the delta about 36nm from SF. There used to be another school in Sausalito but haven't seen that plane in a couple years.
Have fun
PS seeing your avatar do you fly for CG know Che B.?

 

[mudkow60]

Yes I know Che... good guy.

Was Terry ever a flight instructor in AZ?

 

[propsarebest]
