Most recently, I've been flying the RG at a school in VA because I have family close by, but both of their RGs are currently down with maintenance issues (shocking). While I agree that a school with an Arrow would be ideal, the issue that I have is that there aren't any even remotely close (within 100 miles) to where I spend the bulk of my time (Upstate NY). It's all flying clubs with Mooneys up here. I would have no problem driving to the NYC area if I could get it done quickly, but it seems like most of the schools in that area, other than AF and ATP, are local ones that aren't really prepared to work with someone full time.
