      I'd be down to make you a first ̶e̶x̶p̶e̶r̶i̶m̶e̶n̶t̶ student if you want to wait a little while for me to get an instruction certification. I'm sure we could work out some sort of deal.

      If not, Jeffco has some good flight schools (expensive though) and Boulder (BDU) has some too. Boulder would probably be super convenient for you since its right by your work, Jeffco could reasonably convenient too.
      I am really up for anything. How long until you get an instruction certificate? The biggest head ache for me is that with my work schedule it would have to be on the weekends or after 5pm on weekdays.

        Well, if I get my isht together, it could be springtime, especially with if my courseload turns out to be as light as I think it will be next semester.

        I'm super flexible with scheduling, also could do early mornings before work depending on what time of year we're looking at and what time you start work. I'd have to bid a different schedule at work to do that, but I was thinking about doing that anyway.

          Sounds like we need to do a R3V flying day. We should all pile in that Saratoga and fly to Steamboat. Or the Bonanza.

                  Fun fact: students can get six days at steamboat for $100 total. Awesome deal.

                        yup, doesn't have to be used consecutively, nor are there (were, at least) blackout dates.

                        Have done this twice, would do again if I could!

                          No way! Could I buy two of these?

                          Also, do you have a link?

                            My bad, prices have gone up to $129, and looks like there are blackout dates now.

                            Still....epic win if the dates work.

                              To fly home on the 9th to ski for six days, or to play the gig on the 21st....decisions.

                                Damnit! I could maybe do the second round but that would be cutting it close for going back to school.
