Go to KFLV - Fort Leavenworth and see Dean Ayres or John Schmidt at Leavenworth Aviation Services...you will not regret your decision.
Good prices, great plane and great instructors.

Fort Leavenworth is a bit of a drive from the SE corner of Kansas.
If you're close to the Missouri border then I'd highly recommend Tom Richards @ Lamar...if he's taking new students. His lovely bride, Diana, is here.

It would be worth the journey just to meet those two. I have yet to meet Tom, but did neet Diana on one of her trips down this way. She is a great person know.

I grew up at Fredonia but learned to fly long after leaving the area. Have you check out Independence, Coffeyville, Tri-City, and Chanute airports? Gotta be pilots there that learned to fly somewhere.

Awwww....
You guys are sweet! 
Mike, I hope to get back to my grass strip tour of Texas in the coming year and hope to see you then.
Tim, when are you coming back over this way?
Tom is taking new students. Thanks to our friend Bruce Chien, Tom is back to doing what he loves.
The trainer Tom uses was at Pittsburg while the new runway was being built at Lamar, and now that the Lamar airport is open again, the trainer is back over here.
If you haven't already, you might call the airport west of Parsons, Tri-City Airport to see if there is an available plane and instructor there. The phone number is on this site:
