I had a blast at LC NM. I flew a T-34 out there and that was a pretty long flight for 2 legs but still fun. I was out there for all my PA's ,night fams and Forms and the flying was awesome. Living out of a motel got kinda old. The food over there was outstanding, especially if you like Mex food...some of the best I've had. It got pretty damn cold there which was a nice chance from blazing Corpus.
PerDiem isn't that much, $34 a day or something, so don't think you'll be making out by going. It is, however, an outstanding time, and the flying out there is great.
As for the 2 X's a day, usually you'll have a PA check and solo the same day, which isn't too much dif from CC, after the first couple of forms we were double pumped. A lot of folks went out there once they completed BI sims, BI's you can get double pumped on but Contact you can't. My only complaint was having to wear the o2 mask for entire solos, that kinda got old. Just another reason to stay away from jets.......
