Jesse-

I checked the web to try to find clubs close to you. AMA District VIII's website [link=http://www.ama-dist-8.org/Clubs/clublistla.html]here[/link] lists all the clubs in Louisiana. It looks like either the Acadian club in LaFayette or the Kamikaze Klub in Opelousas wouldn't be too far away. I recommend calling the contact for each and checking them out. If, after you learn to fly, you want to fly on your own, so be it. We all need a little instruction to start out.
