om... [...] Any mountains nearby I can get experience with? Well, compared to MN, sure...there are mountains. The Appalachians mainly. They aren't as high as the Rockies, Cascades, Sierras, etc. but certainly are large enough to provide examples of all the usual mountain flying issues. How's the weather in the winter? Warmer than MN, but can still get pretty cold. Rain, sleet, and snow are all possibilities. How long the snow sticks around depends a lot on the season. Sometimes it's there for weeks, sometimes it melts a day or so after it falls. Nothing terribly unusual, IMHO. Aviation-wise, the main thing is that it does get cold enough that preheats will be necessary, and there should be plenty of flyable days during the winter. Seems like you'll be used to the usual stuff, coming from MN. Anything to say about the three airports and their flight training services? Sorry...I moved away before I started flying, so I don't have any personal experience with the airports or businesses at the airports. Pete |
