My wife is going to go to Phoenix with her friend for a full day of shopping....yay...not.  Anyway I was going to drop them off and see about checking out the airport or something to kill time.  Anybody up for meeting me and showing me around the local aviation hotspots?

I might be around for some watching at Sky Harbor. On a saturday, I would say the most action is around 11-130ish, then things slow down until the evening rush. Depending on the winds, there is a nice spot thats free and then terminal garages are always nice, albeit a 4$ per hour fee.

Let me know If you go to Willie. Wouldn't mind meeting some of the members here myself.

I was thinking about Scottsdale on Sunday, but now I'm leaning toward Saturday at Willie, depending on what shows up Friday.

Past few weekends have been very exciting. I don't know if they can keep it up  ;)

I might be able to pop over to Willie for a bit on Saturday.

Can't hang out forever though 'cause I have a workshop to attend on Sunday out at Ben Avery.

I can make something in the afternoon (my morning is booked).  Hopefully the weather will cooperate.....

Unless something special is due in to PHX, i might be tempted to join everyone else at Willie.

So what would be a good time to setup this meeting?  I need to figure out what time to leave the house and drop the woman off.

Your schedule is pretty much dictated by what time the mall opens isn't it?  ;D

Light at Willie doesn't get good until noon-ish, so I'd backwards-plan from there.  If you show up earlier, you can always hit up PHX - the light is great from 40th street in the morning, the glare monster starts attacking around noon.

I won't be up there until about 11:30 at the earliest.  She has a spa appointment from 8-10 and it's an hour and a half drive from there plus I have to drop them off in Scottsdale.  How far from Scottsdale is Willie?
