1) Before you all swarm to Sedona, know that it is the prettiest and most dangerous airport in Arizona. Slopes on both ends glisten in the sun from shredded aluminum. Most common error: getting low on downwind over the town (set and rely on your MSL altimeter not your AGL eyes), lower and slower on base, then turning final and trying to claw your way UP to the runway within a significant downdraft from the headwind spilling over the end of the butte at you...and, lastly, trying to force a typically overloaded (four in a 172) bird on a high density altitude day to make it to a landing when turns to lower terrain and a retry were readily available.
2) Ref reports of nonsensical Lightning retract: I've met and chatted with Dan on many occasions including after he was crippled and nearly killed in bad solo crash of the sole CZAW Parrot when the Rotax puked departing Naked Lady Ranch with company president BS Erwin and importer Danny (both openly despise Jabiru power) watching him leave for SunNFun. DJ is nice and sincere guy mostly but somehow he remains a hopeless shill for CZAW.. long ignoring their bankruptcy challenges, horrendous gaps between promised deliveries and aircraft showing up (worst in UK) and totally covering up their fraud in taking hundreds of Mermaid deposits over five years and never building the aircraft (ok, three prototypes and one got to a customer), now offering it as US built at over twice the avowed price. Still no deliveries. And carrying their ads for Parrot knowing he had totaled the only one. Such is marketing pressure vs ethics.
