Thumbs up

Hi

I've rented 172 G1000's at from Air America. They all seemed in good condition and reasonably new.

They have a online scheduling system, which once you are registered is quite convenient.

The only negatives I can think of are;

The office is actually quite a distance from the south east ramp where the aircraft are parked. And so travelling to and from the aircraft involves a golf cart ride.

The other being the girl who works on despatch is a incredibly stroppy teenager who can barely bring herself to look or talk at you! And so you never really feel welcome!

Apart from that its all pretty good.

PS they don't issue visa's so be aware!

Thank you very much. So the most important thing is the aircraft conditions, at least for me! For the VISA there is no problem, i'll be ok with the waiver program.
Thank you very much again, and if someone else have other Opinion, please write!!

Were you able to get a quote from them for a "dry" rate?
I am shopping around as well, but am only being quoted for wet rates, which means you can only refuel at the home base
