Hello all,
I am doing a little research for a friend who is looking to do his PPL in Saskatoon. I've had a look at the websites for the schools and just looking for the inside scoop on them. All help is greatly appreciated and PM's accepted as well.
Thanks,

Check out Millennium Aviation. Good aircraft, good instructors (heck, I used to be one), and Cec is a legend. I would personally not recommend the "other one" based on things i've seen and heard.

Re: Saskatoon PPL Training
I did my commercial at Mitchinson's, with my own plane, and found them to be very business like, which makes sense when you're running a business.
When I no longer had a plane and needed to rent one to go places, I would rent at Millenium because they were more laid back with their currency requirements. Unfortunately, the laid back attitude extended to things like not having the plane fueled when I showed up, or forgetting to plug the plane in and tarp it the night before. I mean, I was only paying them money for a service.
Now, I just go to Mitchinson's when I need a plane. It is a lot less headache, and you know that when they say a plane will be ready for you, it is ready for you.
