On a previous trip to AZ, we left our contact info at an Old cabin/homestead in the Arizona Mountains. Long story short my Great Uncle Ivy's side of the family whom we've never met contacted us and we set up a family reunion. My dad tends to worry about a lot of things, I was planning on picking him up in Wichita at 6:30 am for our flight to AZ. After a 4 am txt about it being "awfully windy," I headed to the airport for an early start. After a 40 min Flight I picked dad up at 5:45 and off we went. There were strong gusty winds from the north down low which beat the 40 knt headwinds at altitude. There were also some narrow bands of OVC that we went on top of. Watching the sunrise behind us flying over an overcast.
More scenery the further west, Here's New Mexico.
Potty stop at KAEG.
I recognized this special 6....
More bands of OVC and snow, with reassuring bands of VMC through western New Mexico and Eastern AZ.
The Mogollon Rim as we near our destination.
5.8 hours of flight time and approximately 45 gallons we arrived in Payson in time for a late breakfast, with pie for dessert of course......
