Nice! When I was flying out of there it was insane, a lot busier than most towered airports.
There used to be a guy that I think gave lessons in some type of flying lawnchair contraption that would wear a bright orange jumpsuit so that other people could see him more easily lol. I wonder if he'll still be around once they become a towered airport?

P.S. I also have the privilege to fly many other antiquated turds around our polluted atmosphere.

Throw my thumbs up for Dulles Aviation as well. Got all my license and ratings there except the CFi where I failed the checkride with the fed. (to this day I don't know why )
It's a good operation. They sold some of their airplanes but they have still some good stud there.
The chief instructor Tom Adams is an awesome guy.

My last CFI had around 500 TT and I spent half the flight showing HIM how to use the GPS...
It would be great to fly with some experienced "old timers"

Although experience is important, I've personally found that sometimes I'd rather have the enthusiasm of a new instructor over the cynicism and indifference of a guy that has come to realize CFIing isn't what he wants to be doing.

Why stay away from AV-ED? They have been great in the past. Excellent planes, simulator, and staff. Granted, this was a few years ago.
