Embry Riddle is in Daytona Florida. Google their website. They offer everything aviation. Pilot, mechanic, Air traffic control, Yadda yadda. the campus itself is on the Daytona Airport property (I think). Or pretty damn close, like you cross the street. My sister graduated from there. ---

I did 1,600 hours in one of the worlds most powerful and fastest helicopters. Its so addictive, and worth all the BS of the military to play with toys of that caliber ---

Sorry i missed your call, if you try again i should be in. If you go to [www.aopa.org](http://www.aopa.org/) or [www.pilotsofamerica.com](http://www.pilotsofamerica.com) and go the the forums there is some good info there. I can say that you should not go to a “pilot factory” you can ID these places if they have a set price, like 4,500 and 30 days PPL, thats BS and you will pay more. 61 means that you study on your own, and just do the flight training, 141 means you go threw a set prgram, with 40 hours ground instuction, and 35 of flight instruction. The 141 is a bit more expensive, but almost needed if your not from an aviation background. Embry Riddle has a distance learning program, you do the course work online, and do your flight training locally. Its the best deal going, and about 1/4 the price of going to the campus, with the same degree. (120,000 if you go to the campus in Daytona) ---

I am going to Embry riddle because they gave me an ass load of credit from the military and my A&P license, other than that i would NOT recomend an aviation program. Get your degree in whatever, do your flight training at a local FBO and build hours. Its cheaper to buy a cessna 150 and build at 30 an hour vs renting at 100 an hour to get your hours, any one in the buffalo area interested in flying or school options can pm me and i’ll help ya out. > As a side note, i got my PPL in 30 days, a six month course is just milking you for money the way i see it. on average during summer months 3 months is more than enough for the average student My buddy is at Embry Riddle. Hes actually Army ROTC, but for some reason is spending all his time in the air, haha. He wants to be Inel though, ---

I’m pretty sure that Embry has the biggest ROTC of them all, I hope he’s on a scholarship, cause if you have to make payments on 120,000 on army pay, you will never be able to buy a house. Mabe the dark side can sway him to go Aviation, all the cool guys are pilots. ---

> [@98 Red Ex](#): > > Haha yeah, full ride on taht ROTC scholarship. He loves flying, he said, but for some reason hes hell bent on Army. The army has helicopters, which is where i’m going back to in about a year, the good thing about the army is that you can get your job in writing, officers included. Many people go in the airforce to fly, and few do. They will sucker you in signing with the airforce, the plant you in a desk for 20 years. I’ll put up with the army BS if i can fly a few hours a week. ---
