lso you must still stay in contact as I dont see the Bonanza on their website. Do they also have any multi options. The advertise that you can get the rating but not on an airplane that they have listed in the fleet.

How also was living in Corona?
They used to have a Twin Comanche, not any more - not enough demand and a maintenance nightmare.

The Bonanza is an E33 model and they also have a 6 seat G36 - these aircraft are strictly speaking club aircraft; FlyCorona also runs a kind of club arrangement. You pay monthly dues and a dry rate for the airplane and have a little more freedom than simply renting. Since the complex/CFI demand is fairly low they use the club E33 for that type of training. Keep in mind that you can 90% of your checkride/training in a typical 172 and switch to the complex for the few tasks that require it - saves some bucks. They are getting more airplanes right now.

Corona is nothing special, but nothing bad either, clsoe to everything: beach is under an hour away, so is downtown LA. Mountains 1.5 hours. Get checked out and fly to Big Bear, high altitude airport. Lots of airspace to deal with, which is good practice if you want/need it, but go east and it's all wide open. Not a bad location for flying all round. Corona also has the cheapest fuel in the area. Cheap being a relative term these days.
