PPL in Vegas?
Does anyone have any experience of or know anywhere where I could study for a private pilots License in Vegas?
I know there's quite a few little airfields around but most small operations there seem to be sightseeing outfits.
Cheers,
a

2. UKFT are experienced in training students who aspire to being licenced in the UK.
3. It's 30 degrees (F) cooler there, which among other things means,
4. Less chop.

My father did ground school at the North Las Vegas Airport (VGE) and enjoyed it greatly. Visit MCCARRAN.com and click on north las vegas airport at the top of the screen. I do not remember which school he attended. Here is the info from the website's business directory:

Great, thanks for those, I'm going to work through them to see what the best option is. The one in CA is interesting, but what I'm aiming for is to try and hammer hours away in the days when i've got a little free time as opposed to a flight boot camp.
