Just some general points on flight training in the US and OFT in particular, experience build up through flying at a number of them:

General at all us schools:
Things always cost app 10% more than you expect
you have to sort out things you thought where sorted, like medicals, transport etc
Schools do not see you as the next big thing to hit aviation after Concorde, they need you as a means to make money.

OFT in particular:
Best Aircraft I have flown in, new and well equipped
Very international oriented both instructors and student wise (that can be good or bad)
Loved the Hotel that is appr10 minutes walking away
Cheap food joints available all around the Hotel (very important )
Nice airport with a variety of training.

I would recommend OFT when taking the above general points into account. Other option was Naples but have not been there lately.
