Tail dragger checkout Los Angeles area
Have a five day trip coming up in October to LAX and want to get a tail dragger check out. I know it's short, but at least I want to get started on it. Does anyone know a place in the LAX area where I can get that?
Many thanks! |
If you're willing to head over to Fullerton, check these guys out:
Aviator Flight Training They have a really nice 170 that's available. It won't be the least expensive option, but they specialize in taildragger and warbird instruction, and the training will be top notch. |
You'll be very hard pressed to find taildragger training, as so few exist. You may be interested in conventional gear training, which involves a tailwheel, rather than a skid.
Sunrise Aviation at Orange County does a high volume of conventional gear and aerobatic training in Citabrias. |

I knew what you meant. Just giving you a hard time.

You might also look into "Mickey" at Torrance; if he's still doing it. Can't go wrong with Sunrise at SNA either. You'll be a more skilled and confident pilot for doing it; stay off the brakes and keep that stick back...

Also CP aviation at Santa Paula. I believe they have a Decathlon and a Citabria. Such a cool little airport. It's worth the drive from LAX just to check it out even if you're not flying.
