Shooter -
Were you looking to stay in SC, or go to an FBO located elsewheres? Our flight school is part of an FBO, and we have both Key and Sallie Mae. Key is a much better deal on the whole over Sallie Mae.... Key is a deferred loan, generally has a lower interest rate than Sallie Mae, and is overall much more responsive to your needs as opposed to Sallie Mae... if you can, find an FBO that can use Key...
