I started my Light Sport lessons here in '06, in an Allegro 2000, so I know and love the airport, about an hour's drive by freeway from the side of the Phoenix metro area I live in. It was a good field to learn ATC comms, and also it's known for its Confederate Air Force museum, which I visited during an airshow--the show where I obtained my LSA student license, with a CFI named Jim Blumer signing off for me. My Allegro CFI, Jason Bullard was a cool 20 something simmer, half my age at that time, who felt I was fine to handle the takeoff and landing on my first lesson after only a fifteen minute briefing--he only assisted on the throttle during landing, mentioning that as a simmer, his own experience when he learned to fly was learning outside perspective for energy control on final--sighting down to the end of the runway to gauge flare. I learned to 'chirp' the stall horn on every landing, which I do in MSFS 2020 as well, and I have found it the only sim that times the chirp of the stall horn well--previous sims, if I heard the chirp, it was too late, though Xplane 11 was fair at it. Falcon has two practice areas, one to the N/NE near Fountain Hills, and another over Apache Junction, home of Arizona's annual Rennassance Faire, which is like an amusement park and massive in scale. One of my lessons was over the fair grounds, and I was about 5000 ft MSL and below me, the blimp out of Goodyear's airport was the main traffic Jason and I kept an eye on.
I was just about to forward this to you but I see you beat me to the punch! This is awesome and this was the same developer that did the Victoria falls with its speed boat and interesting things to see and do! When I read this shortly and just bought it I knew it was the same attention to detail that he did with the falls. Also the camping pack is incredible! I already got the dogs /huskies snow sleds and I’m creating different packages for different missions and planes. The dog sleds and tents will be the Caribou, the archaeological set up will be the 701 STOL, and the beaver for fishing trips in Alaska. By the way the name of the sky diving airport is LEAP Ampuriabrava. It’s available on the market place I think it was nine dollars. You get 11 to 15 skydivers in the air at one time and an open hanger with passengers inside that you can partially pull into. Everything’s getting really interesting with the latest additions. Now next week let’s get some aircraft!!!!!!
Heck yeah , I am glad you got this. I was checking it out earlier and you came across my mind, especially with the functioning hangars. This is the quality we should all be expecting if we invest in an airport.
