AAA
I completed my PPL at AAA about 6 years ago when it was called Anglo American aviation.
I enjoyed San Diego and KSEE, it's a great place to fly with good weather and a good range of airports.
The school had some good instructors but like most schools the fleet was very well used.... I flew the warriors and a 172 as one of the 152's had a few issues.
There were a few minor issues with availability but things went fine for me. If you turn up to complete a PPL in 3 weeks you are setting yourself up for a fall. I went out and spent 3 weeks to complete my licence but I'd completed all my exams and was already doing cross countries. This meant I could enjoy the experience and get to grips with the RT and the different procedures.
The best advice I would give is to try and get some feedback from some current users as things change over time and things will have moved on. I would be surprised if cherokee 44293 is still going....
