Unhappy

nope, mazzei doesn't have an heli ftd, nor roger helicopters in fresno. in socal, i've tried alexair, california helitech, universal air academy, la helicopters, pacific coast helicopters, orbic helicopters, and group 3 aviation. some of them have r22 ifr trainers, but my wallet screams when it hears the prices pr hour. i actually might have to go to oakland.

i know there is a simulator called flyit or something that just received the faa approval. anybody know any locations for these sims?
