All, I'm searching for E0 in the Vegas area with little luck. Does anyone have a bead on a supplier in southern Nevada, preferably in the LV valley? I've tried the typical sites such as pure-gas.org and have only been pointed at Rebel, which supplies 110 octane leaded E0 for racing @...

Addition, A coworker said he'd like to split aircraft costs for a C-150-type aircraft. I found an IFR-certified version for sale locally. 1971 Model, 7000TT, 1500SMOH, $15k. Assuming the plane passes a pre-sale inspection with normal issues, is this about the right price for a plane like...

All, Need to build about 100 hours over the next 6-9 months, but can't afford a $15k layout right now. Does anyone have any data on small Vegas Flying Clubs that may be willing to take a short-term buy-in (VGT or HND) ... or any other brilliant ideas? Pros - ATP/AMEL, ATP/ASEL, CFII...

Thanks for all the help. She's been reading the PHAK and we go flying as often as possible, which isn't much as I get ready to retire. I'll look at the models and sims to see what interests her and start teaching the basic knowledge. Thanks again, Ed

Thanks for the vectors. I'll start tracking some of these down and get her moving in the right direction.

All, My daughter, 12, recently expressed interest in learning to fly. I take her flying as often as I can and she can't get enough of it. If any of you have experience with kids this age learning the basics, what study course would you recommend? Do any courses seem to translate better for...

VGT will be your best option for the Speedway, unless you can get permission to land at Nellis! Henderson is too far away and you have to drive through Vegas. You don't want to be anywhere near McCarren. If you need a rental car upon arrival, you may need to pre-coord for VGT or press with HND.

Retirement come at 20. I have one year left, but put the paperwork in. Much like a previous poster, I have the option to continue, but it ain't the same AF no more. Time to part ways. Thanks for the well wishes. Hope the whole process goes smoothly.

I officially told the boss yesterday that I'm putting in for retirement. I've never not been around the military (Dad = 23 years Army, me = 19 years AF). I joined the day after my dad retired. Gonna be a big change, but ready to move on. Can't wait for the next adventure, which hopefully...

Today.

They should be around for quite some time. The reports of their demise have been greatly exaggerated.

Easiest way is to count the canopies. Furthest Hog appears to be part of the third.

Did prep at and used a plane from Sin City Flying Club at VGT. DPE was from Elite Flight Training, also at VGT.

Ended up going the ATP route for various reasons. Now, off to learn to fly a plane on water... In Vegas.

Looking for VGT (North Las Vegas).

Done. Thanks to all for the advice and help getting me down the road. Sounds strange after flying mil for 20 years, but I'm finally a fully qualified single-engine (land) pilot.

Yep. Just hoping to avoid the 1+ hour drive to HND from the house. May be my only option, though.

Probably could find the people and money, just didn't want to put the time and effort into getting all these guys together just to pull chocks in 12 months. If I was going to be around a little longer...

Brian, Considered that, however, I'm getting ready to retire in a year and unless I can secure a job by then, my income will be chopped by 60%, ruling out any ability to pay for a plane. Additionally, I'll be moving immediately after retirement. Starting a club is a non-starter for me right...
