Hey there,

If you are coming to Arizona and need any help PM when you get here.

Other things to do in AZ if you have the time I guess would be to go down to Tuscon and see the Boneyard where they park all the planes. I think that it costs a little but I am sure would be well worth a trip.

To get from Florida to here just be careful of the mountains when you get to West Texas and beyond and when you cross them try to do it during the day as it is not a pleasent experience at night on your own.

Crossing the mountains I would recommend comming south to El Paso and taking the airway through the pass there. The other passes are in the middle of nowhere and is there is also not alot to see.

I would look at getting WAC charts as well if you are going to be doing long cross countries not as detailed but makes the VFR planning easier for sure especially if you are flying around at 10,000ft.

I am sure you are competent and all but make sure that you avoid the restricted areas as we have some nice ones around here. White sands missile range, where your twin will look just about the same size as a target drone.

Anyways feel free to mail me with anything that you need help with.
