Daniel Webster is a great school. I was hoping to go there or Embry Riddle. [Mini-rant]I was approved for both, couldn't afford either. Good ole Clinton-omics...if your parents work for a living and are somewhat above the poverty line, no money for you. If you are an irresponsible bimbo, have 4 kids from 4 different fathers, and are on foodstamps and every other government program, you've struck the lottery. Being an ordinary white guy gets you no where, if you are of some sorta minority/descent, you've got a chance of good funding. [Mini rant over]

Anyways, check out Daniel Webster, great school. They are in Nashua NH, hope you like the cold! I'm 250 miles north in Bangor (BGR). Wish we had some decent planes here and an FBO for you here, but all we have are the beatup/battered Skyhawks. I'd love to get my Instrument and High Performance tickets (although no hi-performance birds are available around here).

Keep us advised, we care!

Best of luck mate!

I don't recall if you are actually French, but if so - or possibly if another EU national (I don't know) - there's a bit of France on the North American continent so you could have residency there and work in the US or Canada. And I don't mean Quebec.

I'll bet any relative of the victims in the Pentagon and WTC would be VERY insulted by his remark.

Political Correctness be damned!
I didn't know a soul in either place and it's an insult IMO.

Go check out the AGW off topic section for more *gems* from jochen, sometimes I wonder if he's lemsko under an alias.

I fail to see humor in some low life noodlesuckers flying planes into buildings.

You're talking about the St-Pierre-et-Miquelon Islands? They're rather out of the way, and in Canada I think you need to live there 6 months a year to be considered a "resident", so that may not be possible.

About Nashua: say, I have distant family there. Their grandparents went there at the beginning of the century. Last I heard, some of the descendants like to learn French as a way to learn about their origins. Maybe you could double up as a French teacher, Frenchy.

New Hampshire is one incredibly beautiful state. I went to Laconia this summer on my bike. If you like outdoors, this looks really like a nice place to live.
