Jay, if you know of one, I'll be interested.
I'm in south Chandler, and just got re-employed (yippee), so I'll be
looking around. I don't mind renting, but if I can fly for less
somehow, I'll look into that.


Congrats on the new work...

I did my PP-ASEL training at Tailwind as well as all of my immediate
post-training rentals. IMO, they have great equipment (they just added an
Arrow) but they are a rather bare bones operation (small building, small
staff) and may not impress you at first blush. Walk in and ask for T1 or T2
(T1 = Tom Guilfoy Sr ... T2 = Tom Jr) they are interesting characters.

Since August of 05, I've belonged to the Arizona Cloudbusters flying club
which is based at the Stellar Airpark.

Club website:

www.arizonacloudbusters.com

Three planes (2xC182 , 1xC172SP) all rent at $85/hr wet. Shares go for
$2100 and monthly dues are $80.

Regards,

Jay Beckman

Not to advertise for anyone, and I have no connection to them, but...

I've rented at a few operations, including Tailwind. Tailwind may be
small, but it is extremely clean and professional. The paperwork and
organization are immaculate, as are the aircraft. It's one of the
best I've personally seen.

The Chandler terminal has an excellent pilot's lounge too.

Also true...

Now if they only had more hanger/ramp space...
