Sedona is a splendid place to go, you fly through magnificent scenery and there is a great restaurant on the field which does a tasty breakfast. There are several biplanes to watch doing aerobatic take offs and scenic flights (and forced landings on city streets )

You need to treat the place with some respect though, the NTSB database is full of pilot errors causing damage and death. It gets windy up there and the lack of performance is obvious.

There is also a Sunday Flier crowd who don't behave in the pattern, on far too many occasions I've had to break off on final to avoid spamcans coming at me like guided missiles.

So enjoy, but be careful.....
