61B dodging helicopters Only $5 bucks more a month and it's way closer
to home so I make it up in time savings and gas. Plus the best Brew Pub in
Clark County is out there so when I put the plane away I can go for cold
draft and tasty burger.

Tom.. may I asked where you moved it to?
Because if you picked 0L7 and CCDoA gets their way.. that airport will be
closed in 2017.

They (CCDoA) won't tell you it will be closed, they are not allowing
further development at the airport, but this is where RandyW wants
experimentals to go. There are no hangers, there are no maint facilities,
they are allowing cracks in the ramp and runways to develop. The
legislative language that got them the BLM land for their new airport
says that 0L7 will remain open "as long as it is feasibly safe".

If they get their way and the new IVP airport opens, say hello to
expansion of the current ClassB, or at least a Class C, and the 0L7
airport will be within the Class D radius of the IVP operations, so
you'll need clearance from a remote tower to get in and out. Oh.. another
thing.. the FAF for the approach into IVP will be just about where the
downwind is for 20R.

Also, CCDoA is making no noise about closing 0L7, and they are making no
noise about developing another "Sport Aviation" facility to take it's
place.

'Clark County Aviation Director Randy Walker

I just moved my Cherokee from VGT not because of safety, but because
this guy is well known to hate GA. All he wants there are small jet ops.
VGT is enough of a PIA because of McCarran's and Nellis Class B then
throw in VGT class D. Now you have this guy who hates GA and the
clueless people who were sold a bill of goods by developers that
encroached on an airport that's been there since WW II and we have one
melting ball of wax.

All but one Grand Canyon tour operator has been pushed out of VGT. Mercy
Air has no bases there only maintenance. Two fixed wing air ambulances
were pushed to McCarran and Henderson,

All this guy needed was an excuse. Now he has a Velocity into one house
and a certified twin into another.

It's going to get ugly.
