General Aviation in Cambodia...

GA in Cambodia? You're looking at it. While we were out temple hopping on our second day in Siem Reap, we saw what looked like an ultralight soaring over the ruins. I had to check that out, and so I found Sky Venture Cambodia, www.skyventure.org. A 45 minute tour of the temples cost only a little more than an hour in a Cessna 152 back home. Sky Venture turned out to be two guys operating one weight-shift aircraft out of a thatched roof FBO just outside of town. No running water and no electricity to run a credit card, but they had a small hangar and three aircraft - apparently the biggest GA fleet in the country - one of which they use for commercial passengers.
