I did my training in Rockwall. You won't find a friendlier crowd anywhere.

J-Rod, there's a bunch of good options in DFW. Skymates, Monarch, Henley's, Classic, are just some of the ones I know of. There are some decent places in Mesquite, a couple of flying clubs at McKinney, there's stuff all over.

Where in DFW are you?

Mesquite Aviation at Mesquite is good for Part 61, laid back, family-atmosphere with great rates, good MX and friendly staff. US Aviation in Denton is good for Part 141 training with newer equipment like DA40s and DA42 if that is what you prefer. You won't find a more-fun place to fly than Mesquite Aviation.

Then KADS would probably be closest to you for training. Monarch does have a good reputation, although they are very, very busy. I've flown with Henley's before and liked them.

I'm in northwest Garland and in no hurry, so it made sense for me to fly with the North Texas Flying Club. Your mileage may vary...
