Default Maybe!
I'm seriously thinking of heading on out. The first time I sat in an RV was at Copperstate many years ago. I flew my Aeronca Sedan there back when the fly in was at Williams Gateway (I think that was the name). A couple of buddies are thinking of going...in biplanes so they may have to leave a day earlier than me.

I wanted to take a day trip to Tombstone while i was there but there doesn't appear to be any easy way to get to town from the Tombstone airport. They don't have a taxi service. Anybody have any ideas?

You could fly into Sierra Vista and use these guys...

The airports are only about 12 miles apart...

Default Me too
I'll try to come, weather permitting. Maybe I'll stop in SLC and proceed in an RV-10 flight of three with Scott and Sean to Copperstate

Hoping there are a lot of RV's there. I'm at Luke AFB going through the Viper B Course and want to build an RV in the FUTURE, but haven't been able to see many in person

I'm a viper IP at Tucson. I'll be there with my RV-8 painted in Juvat colors, I'll give you a ride and your "future" build may start earlier than you think!
