    Anyone have a favorite flight school or instructor around SNA or LGB? I'm looking to get my PPL. I'm having the hardest time trying to get responses from schools and getting on the schedule. I'm looking to commit 2-4 days a week and would love to finish in 5-6 months.

    You can fly as long as incidental to buisness as a private pilot.

    The rub is always when money is exchanged for services. As long as your primary duty isn't pilot, it works. He is a pilot, but not THE company pilot.

    Nope... was supposed to happen last year but alas it didn't... too busy with my real job :D

    It's incidental to the business :) We have a manned services side of the house including a part 135, but I don't fly those operations. Since I'm an exec, I take a lot of meetings throughout the country (primarily in the southwest) as well as trade shows and industry gatherings.

    Yup, what he said :)

    That's awesome! I always thought that was a cool plane. Anything with the fuel to noise converter Garrett's on it is badass in my book, except the Merlin, f those things!
