I know this doesn't belong in the ATP thread but to answer DE727UPS's question there is a list of va approved schools here is the link:
http://inquiry.vba.va.gov/weamspub/b...ionCriteria.do
go to "program type" scroll down to "flight" and pick which state you want to search for. If the link doesn't work go
www.va.gov click on education benefits on left side and scroll to "search for approved programs"
I hope this helps some, I know the pain of trying to finding a va approved school but trying to find one that also has financing is even harder, I have to drive more than an hour for lessons when I live 5 minutes away from an airport that isnt va approved!!!
