My son leaves June 10 for 8-week flight school in Charleston…

through JROTC. Will result in private license if all goes well. He is an upcoming Senior and logged his first 14 hours and did ground school last summer through Pathways. All-in-all it will be @$50K we didn’t have to pay for - only cost will be checked baggage charge for flight to Charleston. Will be applying for VT Corps of Cadets and Naval Academy - we’ll see how that goes.

It's much cheaper if he gets his flight training in the military...lol**

If he later decides to fly for the military, he'll start with a leg up...
