Default Anyone in the Sioux Falls area?

Wondering if there are any pilots in the SF area. It'd be fun to have a few flying buddies; especially someone of a similar age and/or experience level.

It's been a while since, but I rented a 172 from Business Aviation a while back....I see that the building is now empty. Is there a flight training organization at FSD?

My brother lives in Harrisburg and I've seen signs for a place at the Tea Airport...but I just don't know much about the local GA/flight training situation.

What's it like?

Negative; FSD currently offers no flight training. The closest place is Tea, which is where I'm training out of. They've got a 150, a 172, and a 172RG. There's also a local flying club that has three aircraft but I haven't looked into it yet.

That's too bad about Sioux Falls.

Is the equipment that you currently use in Tea pretty nice? Particularly the 172? How busy is it?

Nobody ever seems to fly the 150 (1968). I may get checked out in it just so I have a plane that I can take up at the last minute without having to schedule one of the busier ones.

The 172 (1999) is a nice aircraft, not as fancy as the G1000 that I flew once but much nicer than the 1977 model that I used to fly. It has a KLN-89B. Unfortunately it's very booked up; there are a lot of students flying in it right now.

The Cutlass is a nice plane too, much like the 172 but has an HSI which is a plus. It's flown a fair amount but not nearly as much as the Skyhawk.
