quagmire, congrats for reaching the milestone. ERAU's a great place for it (DB or Prescott?)

I would've had my tickets eons ago if not for everything else in life. More ironic is that I've been in & around aviation for almost 35 years, AOPA member for the last 11, and all I've managed is 0.5 hours logged. Sigh… :eek:

There's always Sport, I suppose. ;)

I am at the Daytona Campus. As much as I hate Daytona Beach, Prescott from what I hear is even worse......

I've spent time at both. They definitely appeal to different sorts of people depending on what you like as far as climate, terrain, etc.

Prescott has the advantage of fewer weather-related no-fly days (no hurricane season!), and some mountain flying experience nearby. Plus, it's a low-density area, but only a half-hour from Class B. DB has much more to offer from a time-off perspective. Both are definitely not what you'd consider upper-end residential campuses, though.

Pfft. DB is 30 minutes away from MCO's Class B if not closer and we also have the Cape Canaveral restricted airspace to worry about.

Going to hate next year. Flager and Deland are gaining towers. Only Palatka is the remaining "close" uncontrolled airport.
 
Bah. Just got rescheduled for 5 PM tomorrow with another standards pilot. Horrible time. Thunderstorms and wind around that time. Screw scheduling. And I had the previous standards pilot as a substitute IP and was comfortable with him.
 
PASSED THE FLIGHT CHECK RIDE! I have my Private pilots now! :D :D :D

*apologizes for screaming ahead of time, but am really excited. :D
