re: Flight schools near Lafayette

Owens is at Lafayette airport. Got my private ticket there in his Cessna 152. $140/hour is the cheapest around if you can fit in it. Very laid back operation. Good people.

There's also Fly Louisiana at the New Iberia airport. Have taken a few lessons there. Very professional feeling organization and nicely equipped planes.

That's about it unless you wanna join a flight club at Abbeville.

Edit- There's also a new operation at Abbeville called Windsock Aviation. It's also a small Cessna 150.
