Hello, I just found your group and thought I would give this a shot.
I'm looking to start earning my private pilot's certificate and was
wondering if anyone here could recommend a flight instructor in or
near the Lincoln Nebraska area?  Thanks in advance.

I was at the AOPA this week, talking to LSA manufacturers (I can't

towered Class G, I would have said "nope...  all towered airports are at

Good morning.

Well it looked like I would not fly but it turned out that the wind
was aligned with the seal so I would benefit from 'more challenging
conditions'. I'm doing my last few hours (I hope) up to my flight
test. So there we are, wind up to 45k at 2000', 25k at surface with

I am looking for a few suggestions and input....I am moving towards
the end of my VFR training and probably going to start thinking about
IFR training....
