Ok well I went there personally and their planes were in the same condition as the planes at Delta Connection Academy. ( I went to DCA as well) They are legal and safe. I did 200 hours in those planes. So for three times as much you can try DCA with the same equipment. The same people who did not like Ari Ben are the same people Mike (the owner) probably bitched out for breaking a regulation somewhere. Ari Ben serves its purpose which is to get you a job.
