Prepare to have fun! :D

If you are on one of the afternoon flights dress as cool as possible, she does get warm inside. Bring your camera and take a few pictures but since you are receiving a DVD of the flight after you land don't stay behind the camera for too long. Enjoy and look around!

No air conditioning in the aircraft. You may want to take a motion sickness pill ahead of time, hot air, bumpy....

Pilot currency and topping off with fuel. Currently checking weather. If weather will allow heading to Tuscon then evaluate weather for the final run into Bullhead City. Keep fingers crossed
