I loved that airplane when I flew it it the mid 90's. Best turboprop I ever flew. Big, roomy, comfortable and quiet cockpit.

Don't know of any other aircraft type that would have me do an enroute return, diversion, and a ground evacuation in the first 4 months of flying it.

I will tell you from my experience, having a car makes life quite a bit easier. Is it really necessary? No. There are several restaurants right by the hotels and the vans will sometimes take you to others that are a little further away. Also there will be several people in your class that have cars there. I drove from Indiana, but I have family and friends down in DFW so having the car was important to me. If I had to do it over again, I probably wouldnt have taken it....

I dont like the hotel we get put in. I got put at the park inn, which rocks, but is only used when the school house is packed. I then got moved to the normal hotel, and it was terrible after being at the park.

The people at the normal hotel are jerks about taking you places, and the times they pick you up at the school house after normal hours suck. The park inn is really awesome, I wish we would use it as the main hotel.
