On our way the the fly-in at Buckeye last weekend, we stopped in at Cutter Sky Harbor for some (relatively) cheap Jet-A. This YouTube video shows our departure, shot with a tail-mounted GoPro MAX 360. In it we drag race a Spirit Airlines 737 (we beat him off the line, but got passed before long) and get a good look at the tankers on the AZANG 161st Air Refueling Wing’s ramp.
It was fun for this mountain dweller to take off from a near-sea level runway on a cold day with a 20 knot headwind.
