I don't have any experience personally with this Don, but most people I know that want to fly at the local FBO just switch degree programs. Most people do it because they don't like the structure of Riddle, not because it is cheaper. The FBOs here in Prescott cost just as much as Riddle training does.

Although, one of my buddies is an exception as his parents own an FBO in San Fran and he was able to get a plane out here and lease it to the FBO. Now he does all his trainging in that plane and just pays for gas.
