Thanks. Anyone elese out there? Can I get any shade at North LV?



You might be able to park it in Jerry Airola's hangar during the day,
but move it out at night. That's really all you need. He's got all
his helicopters in there at night and needs the whole thing.

He's at North Las Vegas at 702-616-1967. Silver State Helicopters.

Other than that, it got so hot here one time when I left my RV-6 on
the ramp it melted the sagged the canopy. The inside cockpit temps
might get as high as a couple hundred degrees. That's not bull ****
either.

If I were you, I'd fly to Boulder City and call them first to make
hangar arrangements. There's a lot of hangar space there and they are
only 20 miles away from Vegas. Call the FBO there and make prior
arrangements. Rent a car from there and have fun.

Only fly in the mornings. Get your butt out of bed early and take off
at first light. Fly 4 to 6 hours until it gets about 10 o'clock then
quit for the day. Also, depending upon when you come, if there is
humidity the afternoon Thunderstorms form and will kill you.

So, go to bed at 8p.m. and get up at 4 a.m. Fly from about 5 a.m. to
10 a.m. then quit for the day. If that sounds to strenuous to you
then fly commercial.

I live here and flew today. I took off at 8 a.m. and landed at 9
a.m. The bumps were busting ass by then, the cockpit was hot and I had
"Had it."

Good luck.
