    Because all the kids at Riddle are really really super cool.

    All you student pilots, I really suggest you apply for flight training scholarships. I apply to everyone I find, most just require essays. I just did so recently so no response yet. But even if you get just $1,000 in the end, that'll be a pretty big help.($1100 gets me 20 hours block time with my CFI).

    Just ask Steve, I belive up until this point he payed nothing to his flight training thanks to scholarships. If only I could manage that!

    And the fact that its so expensive means you have no money left for hookers...



    On a side note, how are the chicks at UND?

    THESE PRICES ARE DRY - WITHOUT FUEL
    That brings the Semenhole up to about $230 at roughly 14GPH..which is conservative.

    Oh and the CFI is $49/hr...which is cheaper than the $59 I was paying up in RI.

    The weird thing is that they apparently don't want students soloing in the newer 172 that they have now until they get their PPLs. So I guess that rule's gonna go out the window when they get rid of the 1975 172. They're buying a Super Cub on floats too..... Yes.. In Kentucky...

    Hmmh.... where I go, they have 3 172R and that's like $105/hour wet and the instructor is $50. IMO the R version is fine for the purpose the plane is supposed to serve. And the R has the fuel injection so you don't have to deal with the carb heat.

    Honestly it's still damn expensive, but when I go to the airport most of the guys I see have an obviously higher income than me.

    Compared to renting out here in the UK, those prices are quiet good for us When I start my PPL I plan on going hour building in the States, specially with those prices!

    $60 an hour for the instructor?! My god. When I moved here to austin I thought $40 bucks an hour for the instructor was robbery.. Down in Harlingen where I got my PPL it was $75 an hour for 172N wet plus the $30 for the CFI. Up in AUS a 172sp goes for $132 an hour wet, the g1000 $142 hr wet.. I do not have much experience using these glass cockpits, I've flown a COL350 a few times.. From my experience with it has been pretty sweet. But I will not rent a plane with it..
