I can't say that I have quite as severe opinion of Tulsa actually. Maybe I viewed it differently since I grew up in small town Oklahoma I didn't even know that Spartan did flight training back in that timeframe. I thought they were strictly a maintenance school back then.

Spartan has trained pilots since the 40's. I flew out of Riverside, the MX school was at Tulsa. I came from the San Fran Bay Area, so Tulsa, OK was a huge disappointment. I've done a few overnights there since in the 737 and EMB145. It's still "Tulsa".
