Best places to fly to/over in Western US
Strangely enough, my "Rough Guide to USA" doesn't have a section on great airfields or places/national parks etc which look good from the air.
And the facility directory doesn't have a section on why I would want to go to any particular airfield.
There's a niche in the market there I suppose.
But, until Lonely Planet sorts that out, can anyone suggest spectacular places to fly to or over in the Western US. Say California, Oregon, Montana, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. I am thinking of places that look stunning from the air (eg Grand Canyon presumably), of airports in amazing settings, of airports not in amazing settings themselves but nearby something worth seeing with hire cars/FBO courtesy cars.
And not just natural features. Las Vegas at night is amazing. So is the San Diego VFR corridor at night. Where else? What about places of interest to pilots rather than anyone else? Does anyone know where that place where they park all the unwanted jets in the desert is? Can you fly there?
I can feel a game of join the dots coming on...
