I see you are in Newport News,I am in Va Beach.My best advice would be to come down to Fentress Naval Auxillary Field on a weekend sometime.We have about 6 guys who fly jets here ,you could watch the action,we have quite a few very knowledgable turbine guys here.I myself will be getting my first stick time on my first turbine (Skymaster Gripen) after the holidays.I am looking very forward to it.I started flying DF jets back about 2 years ago.I got tired of the headaches,mess & constant adjusting of the DF engines [:'(]


Fentress is only about 45 minutes from you.It is in Chesapeake .It would be a great place to come watch turbines fly & ask lots of questions to help steer you in the right direction man
