I just went to my first club meeting last night as a guest. I'm pretty sure it's the one I'll join once I purchase something other than the Scout I have now. I'm lucky enough to have 3 clubs in my area, more than that if I want to drive a ways. But this one is the largest and has two fields.
I talked with a couple of new people and they could do nothing but smile and talk about how great their training experiences were. So it looks like I will be fortunate in my traditional plane training. (I don't count my haphazard Scout experiences as flying)
