Renting in LAX area for trip to Las Vegas
Hi fellow pilots
I'm a Swiss pilot (130h) with a validated FFA PPL. In July this year I will spend a week in Los Angeles to visit a convention. I would like to arrive a week earlier and rent a plane to fly to Las Vegas (and maybe some places in the nearby area). I was searching this forum and found a couple of suggestions already, but some of them are a couple of years old. So my questions you might be able to answer are:
1) Is there a FBO in the LAX area (Van Nuys, Santa Monica) which is renting a Cirrus SR-20 or Piper Archer PA-28 (overnight rental 3-4 days)?
2) Which VFR route would you suggest from Los Angeles to Las Vegas in this time of the year
3) Is the preferred and easiest airport in Las Vegas Henderson (KHND)
Many thanks for your time and suggestions in advance.
Regards from Switzerland,
Marcel
