I'll keep it short,
Nice airfield.
1 nice Duchess when I was there, others a bit rough.
You do need a car to get around(they told me I did not need one).
Ask TJ about car rental, she hires out an old runabout for a few bucks $80-100 per week.
Be very firm with them, tell them what you want to do.
They try and make the hours buliders fly at night, training is done during the day.
Accommodation, well ask them. They might put you up in one of there flats or you could rent a room.
Not a very nice place to go out. Quite a rough neighbourhood.
But the flying I did was some of my most enjoyable, IFR batting around Florida, down to the keys etc.Good flying, but at the end of the day you have to take the rough with the smooth.
Hope it helps

I flew their duchesses when they were at Addison, Texas.
I was only there for a month to build some multi time and I mainly flew late evenings and nights but that worked for me.
At that time there was many scandinavians there, almost a "scandinavian school".
