It's a small but busy family run flight school. They offer lodging, you are not sharing the house with the family, it's a separate area. You can stay at hotels in town too. Herb is an excellent instructor and you will be a solid ME and IFR pilot by training there. Just my experience, but what do I know...only been getting paid to do it for 12 years now.

Oh oh, then he would know my father-in-law, Ernie C. He is the big man to Trade Winds Flight School. He was around when J.C. Stanford was running the show across the ramp (the east side). Then they moved shop to the "new" large terminal that's been pretty much destroyed. Ernie split for ethical reasons when it was a "glorious" flight school (J.C. and others ended up losing their business) and is now located at The Tiki Restaurant/Main Terminal. He's been in business at his current location for 14 years with no problems. He is the shining example of a professional flight instructor who actually MAKES A GOOD LIVING off his career CHOICE. Don't ask me why he chose to be a professional CFI, but he is the best I've had of all the schools I went to. He is one of the last "old school" teachers out there that's good.

What was the name of the flight school? I will be in a meeting with Ernie tomorrow and I want to ask him about it.

Best Wishes,
Jason Leonard
