During a business trip to Las Vegas, I had some free time to fly from 6:00 AM to 7:30 AM (and managed to be back at the convention center 15 minutes early!) with West Air Aviation and 'Van' as CFI departing from KVGT (North Las Vegas Airport) then heading to Lake Mead, Boulder Wash Cove, the Narrows (water at 1100 ft), Hoover Dam, some low hight flying (terrain is at 3200 ft) and the Red Rock Canyon. Early morning means a lot of Sun on the windshield, so, less than perfect video (Garmin VIRB). For some unknown reasons, audio is fading at the end, so, added some music ;-) "Van" did the navigate and communicate parts while I did the aviate one (=having the flight controls): good to have a local CFI who knows where to fly ;-) Early morning also meaning less hot (lower density altitude), and nearly neither winds nor up/down drafts.
