+1 on Western Air. Very impressive school. I will be doing my training there when the time comes. Howard is a great dude! Originally Posted by Cubdriver

They have a first class mountain flying course that I took a couple of years ago. You will need to get your private certificate before you can take that course. Insurance will probably keep you from flying without it after that. They lose something like two aircraft a week in the Rockies. I could not believe it when I heard that number from Howard McClure. He would know since he goes out looking for them.
