I can get cheaper flight training in CO for sure but I know that's not the only thing I should look for.
I guess I just want to know any Cons or Pros of either place coming from more experienced pilots. Maybe you guys can give me some insight on what might be the better place to move?
Colorado will be a better place overall, you'll actually have to learn about runway performance and density altitude. Also generally cheaper to live and learn to fly.
The only con I can think of is that getting your instrument rating might be better to do in CA, since most of the actual IMC here comes hand in hand with icing.
