The new old guy needs a little help 

Is there a fly-n this Saturday at Coolidge? If yes, what time do you recommend getting there for best access and photos? Any suggestions on parking, where to stand, etc would be appreciated.

Thanks;

Jeff

PS - I'll be coming from Mesa. Should I go via Florence or down the Hunt Highway?

[Paul Dumm]

Jeff, Any time after 0730 is best. If your comming down Hunt take it attaway, head south to 287, turn left and go about mile and a half to Valley Farms. GO south again to Kemilworth. Turm left to the airport road.

[Joe Copalman]

Actually, you can take Attaway all the way through to Kenilworth.  Saves two turns and might be an easier route for a newbie.  I'd definitely recommend that route Jeff.  Take Ironwood to to Bella Vista to Hunt, then take Attaway south to Kenilworth, then a right at the sign that says "Airport."

I recently rezoned the 20-acres at the SE corner of Ironwood & Bella Vista for a client - I should know how to get there. Thanks for the help Joe & Paul.

It took me nearly a year to rezone that property. I spent waaaaaay too much time in lovely downtown Florence dancing with the fine folks at Pinal County headquarters. As a side note, an architect I work with is leading the effort to fully restore the historic court house. If you ever want to photograph the inside (highly recommended), I would be happy to put you in touch with the right folks. Definitely a great structure worth a look see - both inside and out.

Back to the primary intent of this thread - images. Great photo Jay. I love the lines of this plane. It reminds me of the Romeo Y Julieta Rothschilds cigars my grandfather used to smoke. Short, stubby and aggressive. I hope he visits Coolidge this Saturday.

This guy is either showing off his crosswind landing technique or he's aiming for one of us.

[Chris Kennedy]

Another interesting landing technique. He's pointed about 30 degrees to the right of the runway heading at this point, in about a 20 degree bank.
