There are also places you can get types under 141, for a variety of aircraft.
If I had MGIB that was about to expire, I'd get a 73 (SWA), citation (fallback type), and G-V. The G-V might too pricey.
So many GI Bills to keep track of. Does the post 9/11 GI Bill have the same rules for flight training (i.e., school has to be part 141)?
Edit: to answer my own question.
Looks like schools have to be VA approved according to this website

Selecting a flight training school
The AOPA recommends considering the following when selecting a flight training school:
The instructors. Who are they? What are their certifications? Do they have an instrument instructor rating?
The instructor-to-student ratio.
How the school maintains student records. Will they be accessible to students when needed?
The equipment. Are the planes at the school well maintained? Are flight simulators available?
Another element servicemembers will want to consider is whether or not the school approved by the VA. The US Department of Veterans Affairs has a system in place to check if a particular flight training school provides VA approved flight training. Veterans should confirm their flight school meet's the VA's qualifications for being listed prior to enrolling for classes.
Currently, flight schools approved by the US Department of Veterans Affairs are eligible for reimbursement under the Montgomery GI Bill, and will be eligible for direct payment under the Post-9/11 GI Bill after October 1st. It's a good idea for veterans interested in attending flight school to obtain a VA Certificate of Eligibility in order to find out the amount of military education benefits they could receive for flight training. It's important for veterans to remember that they are ultimately responsible for payment of the program, with or without VA reimbursement.
