Hello everybody.

I am travelling to Las Vegas (from Australia) in March for a work
conference but have three full days in Los Angeles. I thought that I
would use the opportunity to do some flying and maybe even take
advantage of some unusual types that you wouldn't and couldn't find in
my part of the world. I considered some Aerobatic training (with an
instructor just for fun) and maybe a helicopter trial flight just to see
the city from the air. I've had a look at the web but it's hard to get a
feel for your industry when it's so different and so far away. It would
be great if anybody could give me personal recommendations for
schools/instructor to have a fly with. If I'm going to do a touristy
flight does anybody have any specific route recommendations?

This will be my first time to the USA so I'm looking forward to it
immensely.

If you are interested in a wide range of aviation - experimentals, warbirds,
etc., you need to spend an afternoon at the Chino airfield, east of LA. It
has several major warbird restoration shops, museums, and if you just walk
the ramp on a Saturday, you'll see a more varied collection of aviation
hardware than you'll find at any airshow short of Oshkosh.
