Laughlin/Bullhead City
Hi all,
I'm planning a trip to Bullhead City for July 6. Never been there. Any hints for a smooth VFR arrival from Southern California? |

Just make sure your crosswind skills are up to snuff, everytime I have been
there the wind has been howling. (And not always down the runway.) "Casey Wilson" N2310D @ gmail.com wrote in message news:LMKqe.3987$L65.1653@trnddc05... Hi all, I'm planning a trip to Bullhead City for July 6. Never been there. Any hints for a smooth VFR arrival from Southern California? |

Easy flight. Its gets windy sometimes but its usually right down the runway
.. The runway is real wide also. "Casey Wilson" N2310D @ gmail.com wrote in message news:LMKqe.3987$L65.1653@trnddc05... Hi all, I'm planning a trip to Bullhead City for July 6. Never been there. Any hints for a smooth VFR arrival from Southern California? |

depending were in SoCal you are coming from.. alter course a bit to the
south rather than a straight to airport arrival.. some thing between the Needles VOR and straight to the airport.. sets you up for a slower let down into the valley and a chance to see the airport before you are diving on it. Been a while since I've been there... but you can park on the west side.. taxi down a steep slopped taxi way to the bottom. Park, walk across the road and take the river ferry over to the casinos.. it was a free service. BT "Casey Wilson" N2310D @ gmail.com wrote in message news:LMKqe.3987$L65.1653@trnddc05...

heheh, its too late in the year for a "smooth" arrival. Expect turb in
that area until November (or later). I used to stop there for gas when making routing flights from Sacramento to Tucson. -Robert |
