I'm going to be up in the SF bay area in a few weeks, and I'm hoping to go flying with a friend.
Last time I did this, I went to a school at Petaluma (O69) and flew with the worst CFI ever, for the most money I've ever payed. I really want to avoid this happening again.
This time I'm hoping someone can recommend a CFI who'll be more fun (read: not lazy/unsafe, but perhaps still likes his job and WANTS to be there) to fly with, at a reasonable rate (Is $60/hr the going rate in that area? Or did I get ripped off?)
Even better, though, would be a JC'er with a plane or a nice rental (I'll of course pay my share and buy you lunch or something) willing to meet us and take us for a little tour of the SF area. Not looking for anything too crazy, but if you're willing to make an afternoon for a $100 burger, that'd be cool, too.
So any suggestions would be appreciated, and anyone who wants to step up and offer their services, doubly so.
