I really don’t have a dog in this fight but wanted some opinions - and since this is POA there are plenty out there :)
At a local airport there is an operation that only teaches sport pilots. They have a couple of descent LSA aircraft. Word around the field from some of the old timers is that...

It is there as there is some low level rotary wing traffic supporting the US Army Ranger School at camp Merrill near Dalonaga. Also, be on the lookout for UH-60s going into Pickens county to refuel.
