I've never rented a plane from any place but clubs to which I belonged or FBO's where I was taking lessons. Can anyone share their experiences with renting while far from home? Anyone know which FBO's near Las Vegas might be good to talk with? Replies appreciated. Bill Sholar SHOLAR@cmu-cs-c -------

#R:sri-arpa:-1363900:hp-kirk:5500022:000:624 hp-kirk!dave Nov 25 17:30:00 1983 My experiences with renting planes away from home are limited but I have found the only problem was to find an FBO which had a person who could give me a checkride (they usually won't let you rent until their own person checks you out). Usually I couldn't just walk in and get checked out; the best I got was the next day. Once the checkride is out of the way, no problem. So, my reccomendation is to try to make some sort of appointment to get checked out with the FBO as soon as you arrive. They typically did want to see my logbook in addition to the usual stuff though. Dave Barrett hplabs!hp-pcd!dave
