I did my private pilot at Bham flight center years ago. It's not a bad place, but the maintenance on their acft has not been good the last couple of years.
If you want a good multi trainer check out water wings flight school, Charles is the owner operator and has a nicely maintained twin Comanche with CR props. Very reasonable and nice person at EKY. PM me if you want more info, I'd definitely recommend him over BFC for multi training. Not to mention you'll get more out of it than flying into BHM with the towered ops.
