Can anyone recommend a Las Vegas airfield/flight school?

We just came back from Las Vegas. We rented a 172 from First Flight at
VGT. All of their 172's are newer and more expensive ($104/hr hobbs) than Westair but very clean and well kept. Senior instructor at First Flight, Mark Torgeson, was our checkout pilot.

"company colors" for day to day training,.. to newer C-172s on lease back in standard Cessna colors... you just did not look deep enough. BT "Al Gilson" wrote in message ...

I saw the WestAir planes at VGT. I had looked on their website and only
saw the older "R" models on the rental page. I didn't discover WestAir until after I had made my arrangements so I just kept the deal at First Flight. What kind of a checkout do they do at WestAir?

![]() What kind of a checkout do they do at WestAir? Through.... you can expect the same that any other Flight School "should" be doing.. First Flight has changed hands twice in the last 3 years.. West Air has been with the same for at least 8 years. glad you enjoyed your trip to Las Vegas and the flying.. come on back.. BT |
