Does anyone know of any flying clubs at John Wayne? Havent been able to find much so far.
Try Long Beach Flying Club. Obviously in LGB but that's the only freelance style place I know of.
Just curious...why SNA over LGB? I find LGB to be a much better place to fly/train from. No long waits to get out, many runway options (request the 34/16s), and closer to training areas.

If you do LGB have fun flying with Helen if she's still around. Crazy crazy lady. She's like one of those cat ladies who somehow ended up running a flight school. Told me I wasn't flying like a CFI let alone a commercial pilot. This was right after I passed my cfi ride on the first try. Then in the same sentence told me she'd let me instruct there.... go figure. Just gotta swallow your pride for an hour or two and you'll get through it
I have some bad memories of driving 50mi roundtrip to sit on that couch allllll day every day and having only 1 or 2 guys walk in all week... but having to trade off with the other couch ridden cfis. Things were pretty slow when I was round, hope it's picked up a bit.

I was an active member with them in late 2007/ early 2008. The only problem I had was occasional glitches with the online scheduling. Everyone was very cool, the planes in good condition and easy access as a member.I couldn't find any at SNA... I live in south county so LGB is a little far for me. I have been thinking about going down to Palomar and trying out Pacific Coast Flyers (http://www.pcflyers.org/index.php). Anybody fly there or tried them out???
