Answer 3

go to yellow pages.com and look up airplane flight schools. you'll need about $12,000 and up to 300 hours or more of time. It however can be a great experience as long as you don't crash.

Answer 4

any small airport usually does, just look it up in  your phone book.

currently they cost me $110 per lesson (cost of gas is included)

after some with the instructor you'll start going solo.

it takes between 40 and 60 or 80 hours to get your license.

it depends more on how long it takes you to master it then actual hour number

so cost will total above $4.000

its better to do them close together (like every week) so you retain more and don't have to waste money taking more lessons.

Answer 5

Your best bet is try looking in the phone book for anything about it or even ask people that you know about it. Or its possible you could even call up the head of the town or such and ask them about that,

Hope this helps!
