I’ve been asked (IIRC) “are you STOL equipped” in the same circumstance… and since I believe that STOL may have a regulatory meaning (?) I’ve replied “negative” but clarified that I needed only fraction of the available runway length regardless.
Great report, Aveling! I really should write one myself next time I fly out over the deserts here….
Of course it is fine to mention this kind of thing. Mentioning good products and organisations is helpful to anyone. The “advertising” issues arise with e.g. posters who continually post only to promote their business and little or nothing else 
Also, despite rumours spread around, I almost never delete anything other than offensive stuff which seems to run at around 0.1% of total posts and usually from the same 2-3 people

Absolutely. There are several in the Phoenix area that offer good rates, but are reluctant to let the aircraft go any distance. One CFI said to me: “Nashville? Is that near Globe?” and on discovering that I meant the one in Tennessee, said: “Oh, we don’t go out of state”. In my own case, it took a number of hourly rentals, land-aways, day trips and finally overnights over several years to build up the right relationship.
The answer, as ever, is to shop around. I started in the US with 50 Hrs in my logbook, so looking back it’s amazing that I was let loose with only a BFR / Check ride in the Las Vegas Class ‘B’ at all !
Hi Aveling, was at some of the placed 2 years ago, great memories, unfortunaltly only landside not airside except GC with a Twin Otter.
looking for continuation.

Hello from Nashville where we just landed Thanks for the reports, I really like to read them!
Thanks for the info chaps !
Hello Terbang. Your exploits make my trip look like a $100 burger run! Congratulations on making it N of the border! Just the pond to go now?
Are you at Intl? I’ve been at Smyrna and John C Tune, neither very well connected to the city. Just interested in the experience at Intl since I’m going over there again soon.
