some things i dont think i would have experienced if id stayed at a small airport

well im from ohio and where i lived up there a lot of the airports are nontowered back taxi style places. i flew at some great places there dont get me wrong. john glenn did his training at one of the airports ive used there but the airports down here are busier. a lot more traffic that i would never have seen up in ohio.
the loc back course 25 in daytona Ive flown it twice I never would have experienced this one if i had stayed at an fbo in ohio. i wouldnt have moved to florida for a small fbo either.
the number of instructors that ive been able to work with, study with or fly with is a lot higher than if i had gone to a smaller school or fbo. there are at least 100 instructors around here so that if I ever ask a question that mine cant answer there will be someone within ten feet that can. It makes it easy to find someone who can explain something in a different way that makes sense to me.

now for what you really want to hear can you experience all of what I have thru another school or fbo? YES of course you can if you go out and try you can experience any flying situation that you want. the bottom line with flying like so many other things is that you get out of it what you put into it.

I should add that I have a slightly unique situation as well with my training that since i have large college loans and i wanted to defer them while i did my training. this limited me to looking at just a few of the larger schools, I looked at Pan Am, Ari Ben, ATP, DCA, Phoenix East, flight safety and one in miami that ive forgotten the name of. I went around and looked and they all have ups and downs and in the end get you to the same place so I chose to live in orlando/sanford and go to DCA. I figure i would have the same experience flying wise from any of those schools and from what ive seen there are a lot of great fbos down here.
sorry for rambling along there

where did you do your training de727ups
