Visiting USA - recommendations please..

Get out of LA early and go to Las Vegas then check out the Aerobatic
Experience in Boulder City, Nevada just south of Las Vegas. Learn about
aerobatics in the Extra 300 over the Nevada desert. Check it out:

Bruce Williams of Micorsoft Flight Simulator fame also bases his Extra
300 at Boulder City in the winter months. Try and get a flight with him
if you can.

I've rented 172's a couple times at North Las Vegas. Do a dual flight
with an instructor, get in some sightseeing and some instruction at the
same time. it's easier and less expensive than trying to do a checkout
to take the plane out yourself.

Enjoy.

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.
