DC Metro Area

[deadringer86]

I'm relocating to the DC area in June, and am looking for ANY flying jobs around there. Flight instruction, traffic, photography, sightseeing...anything goes. I'm a CFI/CFII/MEI with 720 TT/60 ME and about 375 dual given. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm probably going to wind up living somewhere around Manassas or thereabouts. I'm willing to commute for the right position though, so I'd say anything within about an hour and a half from downtown DC is something I would consider. I haven't rented a place to live yet so I could adjust my location for the right job. Thanks!

Stay far away from Frederick Flight Center. Management there is crap. Absolutely awful. Gaithersburg has OpenAir which was where I was at till I left the area. The pay is really good but there wasn't a whole lot of flying to go around when I was there. Av-Ed has good management out of OKV but again the flying may be scarce. I've heard good things about Action Adventures but nothing first hand. We do have a couple of their instructors on board. There is an aerial photography outfit at both KFDK, KMRB, and KHGR. Pound the pavement and shoot off some resumes. PM w/ any other questions.

James meant to type Aviation Adventures, which has locations at JYO, HEF, and soon to be HWY.

Anybody know of any traffic watch operations in the area? Google is failing me in locating any of of these operations.
