Seems like the two of us are in pretty similar situations, with pretty similar goals. What makes you more interested in National Guard or Reserves over Active Duty?

So a pilot who has experience with a particular aircraft model wouldn't be required to have insurance? Would one get that experience with an instructor functioning as PIC, or do they mean that for the first 10 hours you must be insured regardless?

That might be for the best. I'm not even sure I'll have enough money for IR.

I hope it didn't seem like I'm only doing this for purely mercenary reasons. I want to serve my country. I also want to fly. Both of those are long-standing goals of mine. In a perfect world I will be able to do them together, but I'm perfectly willing to accept different positions if they...

I just turned 28, so I was pretty late to the decision. Degree yes. OTS is the only option. All I can do is try.

It's looking that way to me as well, but I think I should at least visit and see for myself what they've got going on. My goal is a bit unusual. Broadly speaking I'm interested in the career route, but at the moment I'm looking to make myself the best possible candidate to fly for the Air...

I am also curious about whether switching models mid-training is a good idea. I couldn't hurt to ask. I suspect if you don't have those things knocked out in advance that you'll have to do/get them when you arrive, which could take time from your first flight.

They post course costs, which can get you most of the numbers. I got the rest by emailing and asking. All their rental prices are noticeably better than AT's, but they don't fly 152's. CESSNA 172N-$125, CESSNA 172P-$125-$145, SYMPHONY 160-$146, MOONEY M20C-$179, PIPER SENECA I-$278...

Are you aware of any particular ones for the San Antonio area? I've looked around there is one for Corpus Christi and one for the Rio Grande valley, but not much that applies where I am. It almost makes me wish I still lived in DFW. There are so many more options there.

I don't know much about Boerne Stage except where it is. I'll be sure to check them out some more. Is there anything in particular that you like about them? I've been unsure about Alpha Tango and Sky Safety, but trying to make the best decision. The doc for my medical recommended AT. And...

Howdy. I'm from San Antonio and looking for a good CFI (preferably CFII). Is anyone able to recommend one? I'm also fairly familiar with the local schools, but any insights you can provide on them would also be helpful because I haven't decided yet whether I want to use any of them or just...
