"Training in Las Vegas area?"
Posted by CRodin on 05-27-02 at 06:14z
I will be in Las Vegas for a few days next month. Can anyone suggest an aerobatic school for inverted spin training, ideally in a Pitts?
Thanks,

I don't know how close Boulder, NV is to LAS, but Aerobatic Experience (see their listing under Schools in ASC's Store) is in the same state. :)

They fly Extra 300/L's, but perhaps you'll make an exception this one time. :)

Hope this helps!

Boulder is close enough that laborers building Hoover Dam used to spend their paychecks in Las Vegas on weekends. Boulder was originaly a company town built for the construction workers and had very restrictive controls over certain popular recreational activities Las Vegas is known for ;-) . Of course at that time Las Vegas was probably closer to what you would see in an old western movie than to the flashing lights and casino hotel enviornment of the later portion of the century.

Hi Cary

Check our "schools" section on AerobaticSource.com I believe we list Craig Fordem's school "Aerobatic Experience" there. We'd sure recommend it.

Hi Patty,
I've been in email contact with Craig and will be flying with him next month. I'm especially interested in inverted spin training; how well will instruction in the Extra transfer to my Skybolt?
Thanks for you help!

P.S. Still getting used to the new website, but it looks fantastic!!

The spin training you get in the Extra will definitely translate to your Skybolt. You'll get a lot out of it. Hey you might want to sign up for a course with Craig through www.aerobaticsource.com/schools - we offer free goodies with the course! Thanks for the kind words about the web site - we're getting there!
