I'm in the process of putting together a similar list for accelerated instrument training. The below also offer an accelerated commercial course. Double Eagle Aviation Aspen Flying Club GATTS AFIT HF Aviation (rentals via Plus One Flyers) Take Flight San Diego (rentals via Plus One Flyers)

Anyone have recent membership experiences with either AeroVentures or LGE Flying Club? Aside from the higher initial membership fee, LGE seems to be a lower cost option, especially the longer you are a member.

Thanks. I'll reach out to some instructors.

I'm going to be staying near Montgomery Field for a few days next month. I'm looking to book time (2-3 hour block) with a CFI and aircraft for a flight around the area. I check a couple of flight schools at the airport and was told they don't only rent to students enrolled in their programs...

Probably Superior Flight School. They were purchased by Phoenix East Aviation out of KDAB.

North Georgia Aviation’s prices are in-line with Lanier Flight Center. They have two TAA 172s (G5s/GFC500), one 172 G1000, and one SR20.

Not sure how old the information is, but about 2/3 way down there is a brief discussion of one way to do a Boston tour. https://philip.greenspun.com/flying/boston

Appears that there is also a school called North Georgia Aviation. Their website does not have fleet/pricing information, but their social media (Facebook, etc.) appears to indicate that they have some combination of Cessna and Cirrus aircraft.

I looked into LGE and Aeroventures at KLZU before I decided to go with Superior. Probably would have joined one of them had I not moved out to Ball Ground. Seems like both clubs have increased the number of aircraft in the fleet since then. Aside from KCNI, closest airport is Pickens County...

I started my Instrument training with Superior at RYY in 2019 and had no complaints. I was nearly complete (all requirements met and had mock oral and flight portions of check-ride scheduled) and my CFII was in contact with a DPE to start the process of scheduling the actual check-ride when...

No idea. I was there in late November and spoke to a CFII about finishing up my instrument rating. Reached out a few weeks later and they were gone.

The flight school, Cherokee Flight, at KCNI closed pretty abruptly 6+ months ago. Has anyone heard anything about a new school coming in?

Anyone know what happened to Cherokee Flight at KCNI? I was there a few weeks ago and spoke to a CFII about finishing up my Instrument rating. Tried to follow-up with a call and they appeared to have permanently closed. Appears to be fairly sudden.

Moving to Forsyth County in few months and will be 25 mins from KCNI. Most of my family lives about 45-60 minutes southwest of KBOS. On a good VFR day I could land at 1B9 or 1B6, otherwise probably KOWD or KSFZ. The club 182RG (KRYY) rents for $160/hr tach and probably would be the way to go...
