At last
Finally, me and the plane are both at RYN. Landed today from NorCal.
Beautiful day for the big trip home. I'll be the one flying all week

My wife and I are considering moving to Tucson. Does anyone know what hangar space is going for in the area these days? I would be working at Tucson international airport if we did end up our there. Also, what's the word on airpark communities in commuting distance to TUS. I found a few looking online, but they are very high-end and well out of my price range (La Cholla). Anything affordable out there?

Tucson
Tucson is a nice place to live (most of the time). I have been here for 30 years. There is plenty of t-hangar space at TIA at $325/mo. Ryan is a little cheaper if you can find a hangar.
La Cholla airpark (North of town) is pricey but over the years Tucson has grown around it so there it isn't far from major shopping and restaurants. However La Cholla is about a 40 minute driving commute to TIA (on a good day). The two other airparks (SE of town) are a bit remote, have a great view of the copper mine tailing mountains from decades of mining and the lots are rather pricey. No shopping near or any other services.
Hope this helps.

The WX man stinks
Happily I ferried that new plane home last week with hardly a cloud in the sky for 600 miles, but every day since that I have been home the wx has been less than stellar.
Sheesh, doesn't the wx man know I want to fly my new toy?
Maybe tomorrow.

I want to be a weatherman when I grow up. What other job can you have where you can be wrong 90% of the time and still stay employed? 
Hang in there Cathy. It'll get better...eventually...

Weather today was great. Drove my car around the block (1 hour drive). Great flying weather.

The wx is here, I wish you were..........
I didn't fly today as I am am toiling away in the salt mines, working thru the holidays, but I did get to fly just before I left
I even had some company with a sweet RV8 with a new smoke system.
I would have gotten a pic or two, but thought it bad form to have an 8 on my wing and me with no a/p and a camera in my hand snapping away.
Next pime pix!
Happy New Year y'all
