Thanks! All I have left is my bunch of solo hours, cross countries, and a few more hours of night flying, so hopefully I'll get it done sooner than later! I don't think they're too affiliated with the Military guys, but I do see a lot of navy and coast guard guys coming in to do touch and go's at MFE often, though I haven't seen too many full stops yet. It's mostly a flight training FBO along with corporate charters mixed in there. I'm with ya there, I haven't flown into HRL yet, but the city itself seems like it is more sparsely populated than the area around MFE, so I'm not too sure why it's a C and not a D also! It's actually a really good place for flight training, pretty cheap rates, more than a few airports to fly around to, and airspace isn't too complicated, yet you get your radio work with the class C nearby. The only bad thing is that it's hot year round, but once you get used to it, it's not too bad!
