I've taken two discovery flights at different flight schools but no, I'm nowhere near getting a PPL and I'm getting married next month before I leave so I think getting my PPL before I head down there may be out of the questions lol. So I've heard that while you're there at Rucker there's a local flight school that will do your fixed wing PPL add-on on the weekends. Is that doable? Or should main focus be worrying about my Army flight training and worry about fixed wing when I get home? And the whole purchasing a small 150, tomahawk type plane is one of the options I've looked at the hardest and may end up making the most sense to build the time quicker to get to the 500 versus waiting to build the RW time since from what I'm hearing with my unit is that after you go through RL progression it's getting awfully difficult to get on the flight schedule for AFTPs since we're getting pretty oversaturated with pilots (I'm clearly helping the situation lol) and so it's pretty difficult to get flight time outside of drill weekends
