Flight Safety 560xl training
Soon will be heading off to FSI for Excel type rating. I believe the Excel is offered at San Antonio, Toledo and Orlando? Anyone have preferences on any of these locations? I am sure it greatly depends on the instructors---just curious about any other feedback or suggestions on any of these locations. Thanks!

I got my type in San Antonio and yes the bbq is better in texas but I do all my recurrent in MCO . MCO is a better facility imo from the instructors to the class rooms and sims. And I hate Florida and truly wish it would break off and float away but I would still rather go to MCO than SAT for school.

Don't forget Wichita (ICT). Depending on the time of year it's not a bad place to spend a little time. Some of the instructors have Cessna test/demo pilot experience.
I've also been through Orlando. I'm not a big fan of Florida either, but there is definitely more going on around there. Another good group of instructors.
Good luck!

It was my half hearted attempt at humor

Orlando is good too though.

heck I'd go to San Antonio.... lots to do and see around the downtown area, great food, BBQ, steaks, Mexican, etc... and not that expensive
the downtown Orlando area is very expensive, tailored for European tourists...
