You going there for an initial or recurrent and for what model? The academy is now at the Alliance Airport, Ross Perot's creation north of Ft. Worth. Talk to one of your instructors when you get there and have them arrange a factory tour over at the Hurst facility. Seeing how the blades are constructed and the ongoing operations at the destruction/testing facility are really interesting. When I was there they had a V-22 empennage and tail section rigged for testing.
PM me if you want more insight, I am there every year.
