As many have done before me, I've recently moved from Ireland to the US. I have my PPL, but it's been years since my last flight. Looking to see if anyone on here could recommend a school near Chicago that could get me back in the air. Preferably a place with R22/R44.
Thanks,
PP

Sun Aero at the Lansing Municipal Airport south of Chicago has both a 22 and a 44. Clow Airport's A&M Aviation out west in Bolingbrook has a 22. North of Chicago up in Kenosha Wisconsin at the Illinois line is Midwest Helicopter. They have both 22 and 44 I believe.

I went to Sun Aero a decade ago for my ratings. Good mx and the owner Ken is a good guy. I don't know any of the current instructors, but I doubt he wouldn't hire any that were bad.
