Can't say I know if they do that anymore.

You might check out US Aviation in Denton, TX. They also have a deal with American Eagle. Denton is a pretty cool town to raise a family I think too; far enough out that a backyard is possible but close enough in to have some fun. Its a college town so it has a trendy little down town with lots of cool little restaurants and stores.
Denton is close to where I live, but I fear it is the same situation with the Chinese students.
