I've wanted to fly into Sedona for as long as I can remember. Yesterday, we finally did...

Really nice country. Pretty staggering field elevations up in that area though. I remember flying out of Prescott (7000ish' MSL) in a Beech Bonanza; we took off at 6:30 AM in the summertime and were still only able to make about 300 fpm on the climbout. :eek:

Were you were at DMAFB yesterday? I saw a -46 out there, assumed it was out from Yuma though.

Great pics- can't beat Sedona.

My immediate boss does a Christmas thing with the Navaho indian kids on the reservation in Ariz. His big reward is to load up a Phrog (west coast reservists) and fly down the Grand Canyon to the Havi Supi (sp) tribal village. Now he is an old AF boom operator so he thinks riding a Phrog over the edge of the canyon it "the bomb"

I think I would to :D

Prescott is 5000' MSL. In the summer it was regularly over 10,000' density altitude though.

Also got to watch a 182 crash on takeoff out of P-town once. He didn't de-ice, made it just off the runway, over the golf course and the two roads and spun her in...killed the two in the front, two in the back lived.


Sedona was always a fun $100 hamburger. They used to make the best buffalo burger I've ever had at the airport restaurant.

God I love Arizona. The airport is one of the best places in town to watch the sun go down and that says a lot.

Spent a month in Phoenix one Memorial Day weekend, I thought it would never end.

Sedona actually looks pretty nice, if it's anything like Flagstaff I'm sure I'd like it. I really like pictures 1, 2, and 4. On #2, nice shot of your approach!

Actually it's quite a bit different than Flagstaff but I love them both. The extra 3,000 feet changes a lot. Climate, plants, geography are all different. Plus Sedona is full of rich new age hippies while Flag has poor hippies, working folks and college kids. I'd still live in Sedona though, just for the red rocks.

I was at ERAU Prescott when that crash happened. Interesting to hear what caused it.

I was also there when two senior flight instructors had a midair during a "form" flight practicing for some airshow, and they both died. REALLY somber couple weeks.

As for Sedona, I flew over there a couple times on my cross country flights when I was earning my PPL out of KPRC in the summer of 2006. BEAUTIFUL flying, even though I hated every minute in PRC...

you and me were there at the same time then. I started in '01, graduated spring '05. BSAE here, flew out of skischool for my ppl, northscare for my instrument. I spent way too much time studying and not enough time enjoying AZ. PRC wouldn't have been half bad if I would have been enjoying my hobbies more (hunting mainly).
