Hola from Miami - any recommendations for a new student?

[Sierra Echo]

Hey all,

I've been lurking here for a month or so, while reading Bob's great book (The Complete Private Pilot), doing the Sporty's ground school work, and getting my ducks in a row for my medical (which will be complicated, but certainly doable).

In the mean time, I have a possible in on a flight club down here which would give me access to planes and CFIs, but in the event that falls through, does anyone have any recommendations for a local school / CFI? Preferably out of KTMB (Miami Exec) but I am flexible within reason. Just keep me south of FLL - that area is closed too often due to our wonderful President's Mar-a-Lago habit.

Thanks for any advice, and thanks for all of the insight you've given me as a lurker!

Lee Brooks is a fantastic instructor at TMB. The local schools are a waste of time.

Thank you! Hopefully I'll have progress to report soon. Just have to clear the medical before I go too far...

Thank you! I've seen many of your posts on the board, and I like the way you approach flying. Looking forward to advice from you once I'm in the air.

Trouble is I'm not a pilot.

But thanks.

But thanks.

That should scare the crap out of your CFII students!

They never asked for identification, so what the hell, let's go fly in the clouds!
