Kansas City Area

I'm a CFI, CFII and MEI. I just moved to Fort Leavenworth and looking for fill-in / part time / weekend / night gigs.

Any hints?

MKC (Downtown KC) might be your best bet..

I think its ATD flight training on the west side of the airport near the museum.

I have seen ads for piston (Stationaire) pilots at OJC occasionally.

I think there is still an active military flight club on Ft Leavenworth. It is one of the last remaining ones in the army. However, I've also heard the airfield is possibly still flooded by the Missouri River from this summer's floods.

So...recommend you verify that if you think you'd like to instruct there.

Thanks for all the tips. I've hit Downtown and ATD as well as all the airports on the north side of KC...hopefully, I get a nibble.

As for the flying club at KFLV...it is still going. The field was under 5 feet of water for about 4 months and has recently passed a "thump test" to ensure the foundation was still...well, a foundation. It is a military field so it probably exceeds the minimum in construction. Anyway, the field is open to day VFR right now until the lighting can be replaced (lines were repainted this week). I was by the civilian ramp today and the city FBO is working hard to get back online. I think they have gas but not power. The building is still not suitable, but will be in a month or so I think.

Please, all, keep this info coming.

Thanks!
