I agree with 411A about Falcon Field. I've spent many happy flying days there.
If you have time, try to visit the nearby Mesa Cemetary. Near the centre is a small, beautifully maintained, section containing the graves of the 23 RAF pilots who came to Falcon Field to learn to fly during WW11, and didn't make it home. Most of them were still teenagers.
Read the inscriptions on the graves. You will remember them a long time after the other memories of the holiday have faded.
