I was the for just for about a week and a half. When I was there had no hang ups. Val was great and everything went as per planned. I did enjoy flying the travelair for my multi. I haven't flown a piston since I was there. All turbine time since. Have to remember we will have to do run ups..lol. I am looking forward it. I don't gamble so I should be ok.. LOL.

I just went to shebles and went through the ATP Program. I went through there about 5 years ago as I have said and finished thru my multi-comm. I flew at the new location in Sun Valley where they train for the ATP and val set me up with a great place to stay. A nice resort. I arrived a day early and surprised them. They quickly got me going on ground school. Did some great flight training with Ben. They really make sure you are up to pts standards and above or they wont sign you off. I came prepared before I came. Lots of studying. Took my ride with Joe Sheble and he made me work for it. One thing I want to say. The instructors they have are the best and their Travelairs fly like my King Air 200 . A very stable machine. Very forgiving. They have lots of cool gliders-sailplanes you can get ratings at the new place also.They have the only twin Beech-18 on floats in the U.S you can get your Multi-Sea ..I was very picky on my ATP choice and I made the right one. Thanks for another great experience Shebles !
