Am trying to determine if the 10 is going to fit in my current hanger. Thanks much!

I've been a couple of times, and by far the most enjoyable time was when I took the chart and plotted out my own waypoints by measuring lat/lon directly on the chart. I then put those in as user waypoints and had the autopilot fly the course. I entered from the South, crossed once at one altitude, the autopilot made the turn for me as I descended to come back the other way. I had my wife and 4 kids in the plane that time, and it was WONDERFUL to know exactly where I was at all times, be able to keep my head out of the plane 100% of the time and participate in my family's enjoyment. If you have the chart and arrive and hand fly the corridors you'll still enjoy it, but it sure takes a load off to have a planned course and fly that plan. Mark the points on your chart and use a straight-edge to find what the lat/lon is from the graticule on the chart. One other thing: We spent early morning in Sedona. Then saw the Grand Canyon. Then hit Monument Valley. All doable in a day, but it's all so freaking spectacular that your mind just goes numb and shuts down. Highly recommend you try to enjoy each separately and get the most. Have a safe flight!

Heard an unusual sound so I walked around the corner on my hangar to see what was! A Starship came taxing in on Z2 and parked on Millionair's ramp. Got a few pics and a mov as it took off on 35. Very nice. I think it was out of Marana and I've heard there are only 3 or 4 flying now.
