Another Black Mark for Helicopters
I'm sorry to hear about this situation. If SSH pulled it off they would have been the Home Depot of helicopter flight training.
Lesson learned, never pay in advance, expcept say 10 hoursof block hours. Flight schools have always been mom and pop operation except for the last few years. HAA and Bristow have change the industry somewhat.
I would expect a glut of R22's to come on the maket now.
Again, I feel sorrow for the students. I hope you don't turn away from helicopter aviation.
