By coincidence, I've just got back from Kissimee, where I flew with Lee Lauderback in Mad Max last week. I can't recommend Stallion 51 enough. It's a fantastically professional outfit, and Lee is very careful to tailor each orientation flight to what you want to get out of it as well as your level of expertise (in my case absolutely no experience of aeros or stick and rudder - but now I'm eager for more
). Something like 38% of flights are repeat business, so, given the cost, he must be doing something right.
Forget the house extension - time to downsize to a caravan.
