Southern California flight school...
 

Looking for a solid flight school in Southern California. Could be Orange, Riverside or San Diego County. Please let me know any ideas or experience. Thanks.

Check out these guys. I trained and worked there years ago. They were reasonably priced and wouldn't try to rip you off. They have moved to KSEE, but the key leadership is still in place so I expect they are still good to go.

Also, due to some unique training they do on the JAA side, there was an annual opportunity to accumulate large chunks of MEI time in a short period if you work for them as an MEI.

I visited this school a while ago, I ultimately decided not to go to them, but not because they seemed shoddy or anything, just found another place that worked better for me. They actually seemed pretty well put together, worth checking out. They are located in the same airfield as the one above so you can see both at the same time.

FBO at Palomar Aiport in San Diego county, im going there in a year... great school and location:

I know some people who worked there, never heard anything bad.

Pinnacle looks good. I'm going to see the place Sunday. Thanks for the info....
