On a related note: anyone interested in buying the Brooklyn Bridge, please PM me for details.
Seriously, if anyone needs advice on choosing a flying school, etc., I would suggest that they post their enquiries on this public forum, rather than seeking private advice from someone who has a definite vested interest in steering them in a certain direction. Or (easier) obtain Chris Hobb's little book,
Learning to Fly in Canada, from the public library, and review these websites:
(a)
COPA's "Learn to Fly" section; and
(b)
ATAC's "Learn to Fly" section (when it asks for "authentication information", just hit the "cancel" button).
