Maybe, maybe not. There are a lot of management people that will buy an established FBO that had like one or two Cessnas, then boast the fact that they've been around fifteen years. Or vice-versa. There are some management that have run six or seven flight schools into the ground in fifteen years.

Double red flag for me. 100% placement is a near impossibility in the aviation world. Even MAPD only has a 98%. The "let us help you be the next" screams glossy flight school ad. Not slamming on the school, just making the point that in aviation, if it sounds too good to be true, you should probably run the other way.
