Good start in Louisiana? (Flight School...)
Hey folks!
This is my first post here, and I'll try to keep it brief.
I just turned 22 on the 12th of December and I'm hoping to start my career in aviation this new year. I currently work full time for the Louisiana Air National Guard as an F-15 Avionics Tech (Hence the name...). I've been flip-flopping with my plans for going forward with this career.
Originally I wanted to get my folks to co-sign a huge loan to attend Regional Airline Academy in FL. However, after reading a lot on this forums about the state of aviation and about these 'fast-track' schools, I've decided to take it slow.
Currently, my plan is to continue working for the guard while also attending flight school to get my PPL. Hence why I'm posting, I'd like to hear if anyone knows of any decent schools around the Baton Rouge/New Orleans area. I assume that Part 61 or 141 will be fine for PPL?
Anyways, everyones thoughts are welcome.
