RVers in Tucson
 
I am coming to Tucson with an RV6. New RV owner, non builder (for now anyway) looking for folks to fly with. Some formation, some acro etc

Is this area full of RV types?

Formation-
 
Cathy,
There is a 3-ship practicing formation via FFI standards in AZ- Andy is close to you in Eloy- Hank and others in Chandler area. I'm up north in FLG. Allways looking for more interest to build a larger squadron in AZ. Based in TUS now?

This time of year we practice out of CHD or further south (CGZ?)-short hop from TUS. Acro in an RV? of course! if no Form planned. :D
Fly safe!

I am pretty new to this so will have to get some training and get used to the plane as it is new to me. So new in fact that we are still finishing up the pre buy incidentals.

I still want to share some hangar space if possible in the Tucson area as well. Until I round up hangar space it will stay put with the last owner.

Tucson RVers
 
Cathy,

There are several RV's in the Tucson area.

At Tucson International Airport (where I am based) there are 7 or more. There is a core group that goes flying on the weekends for the $100 breakfast. Some are current or ex-military and they fly formation with a few others. Some go out and shoot up fake tanks in the MOA on the weekend.

At Marana Regional there are several RV's. I know three of them and they typically join the core group from Tucson on the breakfast flights. So at a typical $100 breakfast we may have 4-7 RV's in attendance.

At Ryan airfield there are few RV's as well. I don't know much about who is who there.

If you would like more info or to join us please send me a private message and I will give you more info.

Cathy,

I'm at Ryan...a buddy of mine with an RV8 is leaving in April so I know of 1x spot possibly coming open...shared hangar space.

Mig-15
 
John,

You forgot to mention she would have to share the hanger with the MIG-15. Personally I believe this is a very "Cool" plus.

RYN
 
I am concentrating on RYN now and have been there this week talking with several folks about hangar space. Today I'm going out to look at a couple possible options.

John, I believe I saw your RV8 there. Pat showed me the hangar with that sporty little MiG17 and your plane. Both are quite nice.

Thanks to all for your help.
