I thought they were out of business but apparently not.
Haven't heard anything good about them the last couple of years.
Old airplanes, the usual.

If you want new airplanes, you got to pay money.
If you want something cheap, you have to accept older airplanes.

Imo, there is nothing wrong with older planes, as long as mainanence is good.

Dont look for "good schools", but rather for good instructors. There is bad/decent instuctors at good schools and there is amazing instructors at awfull schools as well.
I could recommend you to contact OFT/ACA in Orlando and ask if David F. could be your instructor.
I think I gave same advise to someone else on this forum before. But anyway, he is ground instructors, but may take on a student sometimes. This guy have huge knowledge and very good instructing skills.
100% first time pass-rate for his flight students says its all.

I think you can pretty much forget about asking for a specific instructor.
At school like that? Not going to happen.
Whichever instructor is available is the one you will get.
And remember, not everybody is the same, Instructors are people also.
You may get along great with one instructor and you manage to get the best out of each other and the next student can't work with him/her
Instructors also don't stay around forever so the chances of somebody still being there are slim.

Dont look for "good schools", but rather for good instructors.

Fairly useless advise for somebody who cannot go and visit every school.
Good schools have good instructors, that is what makes them a good school.
A good school schould not keep bad instructors.

For now I am going with Europe American Aviation in Florida,when I
Checked them out I noticed they train students with Diamond aircrafts.
