I am thinking I am wanting to get my pilots license... do some flight training.
Is there a recommended airfield to do that in East Texas?
Thanks

Billy Bob Smith has a landing strip in one of his pastures on 154 between Diana and Harleton.

I'll bet someone over at the airport in Greenville does lessons.

Find the oldest and grouchiest instructor, he will be the one that teaches you the best.

Looks like there's a couple in Greenville and another one down by Wills Point. I had to get out of it right after 9/11, as the prices went through the stratosphere. Highly recommend the 172 over a 152. To this day, one of my greatest accomplishments was my first solo. 3 take offs and 3 landings...and didn't even have a stroke!
Each plane has it's own personality and hope you go out and have a blast!

I don't know for sure about ETX, but Addison has a great program called Thrust Flight. They have normal flight school(2-3x a week for 4-6months) or accelerated flight school where you can be a licensed private pilot in 2-3 weeks of full-time training and get your instrumental in another 2-3 weeks if you so wish. They also offer programs to become a CFP or commercial airline pilot.
