I'm at the U of I... right now we have 19 brand new Piper Archer IIIs, about half of which have GPS (KLN-89, KLN-94, and Garmin 430). We also have five new Piper Arrow IIIs, all with Garmin 430 GPS (dual displays), and one of which is DECKED out with autopilot, and everything. We are supposted to be upgrading our multiengine fleet soon... we have three Duchesses.
For spins (and flying team) we have two Cessna 152s. One of them is my baby!
Regarding instructors, we have around 45 on staff right now. Only like 20 or so are full time, however. We have a lot of part-time instructors, since instructing is a requirement now for our Human Factors degree program. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to e-mail me at

Later!
