Does anyone remember back to the threads generated by the fall of SFT in Bournemouth and the posts by the people who had lost their invested money with the company ??
If yes then you will remember a post by Captain Richard Gentil of Naples Air Center offering to "help" those who had been burned by SFT. Following a "NO WAY" of getting reduced flying hours with the associated school of SFT - Ambassador in Naples and with a non-refundable ticket - I opted to go and headed out for Naples Air Center, Inc.
I just wanted to extend my thanks to all at the school, they made me extremely welcome and through two weeks i managed to get 21.4 hours of time built and my JAA Night rating which i wouldn't have been able to get without the generosity of Richard and Niki.
The school was great, the people great, the planes were great, while i was there never lost a day due to one being broken, saw some great sites, had a ride in a PA31-Navajo Chieftain (FAB makes me realise where i am heading one day), hotel accomodation was excellent value for money and not forgetting the 4 little kittens, relax anyone just before an exam.
In parting i realsie there are many schools out there in the states, i have been to a few and i really will be returning to NAC in the future to do my ratings and hour building.
This industry is based firstly on reputation and secondly on quality.
If anyone is thinking of going to the states to do some flying, check out Naples Air Center
