| I am going to be in PHX next week and I'd like to rent an airplane to fly around the area a few times. Where is a place that I can rent a 172 or Warrior (Will have two pax) and not have to be checked out for 10 hours by one of their instructors?

| Try Westwind at KDVT.

| Junior Member | Try the Glendale airport it is on the northwest side of the city. It is a very nice airport, not as busy as DVT with all of the international flight training going on there |

| Junior Member | I don't know anyone here at Glendale that will let you rent airplanes. Maybe Goldcoast, but they only have one sitting out there that I see and it is a roached 172. |

| Falcon Exec at Falcon Field or Angel Air at Stellar get my vote. Falcon for older/cheaper, and Angel Air for nice/expensive/glass if you want.

| I heard from others here at the field that Falcon Exec had to stop their flight training ops because they can't find any instructors. They have a pretty large fleet but I assume this means they won't be giving any more checkouts either. Try Arizona Aviation (also at KFFZ) for a cheap 172. |

| Hm, I hadn't heard that about Falcon Exec, but it has been a while since I've been in PHX, and much longer since I was looking for planes to rent. Their website doesn't seem to show any signs of shutting down.. but who knows.

| Great thanks for the help! Looks like I have it narrowed down to Angel Air and Arizona Aviation.
