There was another newbie at the Madera clinic from Tucson, Peter Xu, with an RV7A. Think he's at Marana.

There are a few folks in Phoenix, too.

Hope that can get you started.

Thanks, I actually work in Vegas and was wandering around Henderson to see if I could find "temporary housing" for my plane every so often so I could fly to work once in a while. Haven't found anything yet so have kept the plane home.

Try asking around Boulder City about hangar space. There a several RVs based there.

Can't believe I have beat the usual suspects! (MikeS) in this:

Forming up a few practices for our experienced guys on Wednesday at the end of this Month. These practice sorties can also serve as an introduction to Rookies: Ride along during a standard practice and see how it all works.

Also in planning stages for a Saturday Mini-Clinic for the Fall time frame.

Chime in If interested,
There is reading required for those with no formal experience.

Flying Safe (Especially Formation) takes practice

Thanks shotgun for letting me flog around the sky on your wing.
It sure was fun. Anyone up for tomorrow?

Thank you Joe Blank for letting me refine (sounds better than flog) my formation skills while at the Van's Homecoming fly-in this past weekend.

Also Laura Starkey was willing to ride along and took some fantastic pictures.
Thanks Laura for saving the moment.

Oh what fun.

Cathy,

Glad to fly with you and increase your wingtime and knowledgebase. You did great! Keep up the good work!

As I said during the brief, you can get together with some of the FFI carded pilots in the Phoenix/Vegas area for further training. Here is a partial list for starters to get you going:

Brad Ransom (AZtailwind on VAF)
Mark Dulaney (Dula737 on VAF)
Mike Smith (KB)
There are more but this is a good start...

Make sure you get up to the West Coast Formation Clinic next April (or any other FFI Clinic), so you can get the full benefit from the classroom session and the following training flights. Lots of great folks involved in these programs and you will learn a lot. Besides, it's a great time and a very rewarding activity.

Blue skies!

Cathy,
We had a great clinic at Pine Bluff last year!
You would have a blast I'm sure. Hope to see you there!
