Moose - PM me your situation. If you want to go to Laughlin, I can help you push those buttons and get you direct contact with those in the decision loop. In addition, the Reserve units there are hiring like crazy....just saying.

How's the lake level out at Amistead? That's where I learned to windsurf in 1983 but I've heard the lake is very low now?
How's Boy's Town and is Ma'Crosby's still open?
And what do they do with a class full of guys sitting around with no flying to be done for two months? I don't know if Boys Town would be enough entertainment, but I'd have been a hellofa good windsurfer after two months of practice!

Thanks for the info on Laughlin from those in the know. Turns out it's more maintenance then anything and they are very behind in training. The other bases are doing better. To the pilot from Laughlin currently instructing on the T6 keep my email address. Be glad to help you in 18 months if you make the jump.

Crosby's closed a couple of years ago.
With the perception of increased border violence, I'd be surprised if anyone decides to buy it and reopen. Shame. I loved going there... even if their margaritas were the worst in Acuna.

Nobody in their right mind goes to Acuna anymore, fairly dangerous and not a place to hang out anymore.
