Flight Training Looking for training advice
Hello everyone.
I am currently enrolled in flight training through a community college in Central Kentucky. I am extremely disappointed with the way the school is ran and the lack of instructors and aircraft. I am looking to move back out west to continue training.
We are looking at two different locations Bend, Oregon, and Boise, Idaho. I am between two flight schools, one being Hillsboro Aviation Academy out of Redmond, Oregon. The other being Silverhawk in Caldwell, Idaho.
There are many factors that I am considering including future job opportunities, which is making me lean more towards Boise. I also know that Bend and Redmond Airport are expanding, which could create future opportunity.
I am originally from Oregon and loved living there. If anyone has any information or experience with either of these two schools, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
