AF,
I'm green with envy!! In September 2000 I did some (very limited) flying with Calgary Flying Club out of Springbank. Unfortunately the wx gods didn't simle on me and time was very limited. Having said that my experience was very positive. The guys there struck me as very professional (from what I saw), accommodating and friendly. Plus ..... the view from the club house has got to be among the best on the planet!
Undoubtedly you'll enjoy yourself wherever you decide to fly from but when I go back I'll be heading for CFC at Springbank.
Have fun
