What is a good way/course/place to learn about mountain flying?  How many
dual hours are recommended?

Why would anyone want to learn how to fly a mountain?  Isn't a C-5  big 
enough for your cargo?  Where do you sit on/in a mountain - in the saddle?
Why do I ask questions like this?  I guess I just can't help it.......

This month's AOPA Pilot magazine has an ad for a (three-day?) mountain
flying course held in Colorado.  I don't have the issue handy, but the
course seemed reasonably complete and inexpensive.  If you're an AOPA member,
there's a discount, too.

I'd be interested to hear other suggestions you come up with; one of these
days I'd like to do mountain flying myself.  I'm gettin' pretty tired of
looking at cornfields...
