Phoenix is home to two great jet
capable flying fields. The Arizona Model Aviators in
Mesa and the Sun Valley Flyers in Scottsdale.
The Arizona Jet Rally, November 22cd thru the 24th 2019,
had 45 registered pilots. The event was limited to
turbines and large EDF jets. Contest Director, John
Mangino, did an awesome job organizing the event. The
Arizona Model Aviators field is 850 ft long and 150 ft
wide accommodating even the biggest jets. As usual, BVM
jets were well represented!
Winter Warbirds, January 24th thru the 26th,
accommodated 85 pilots. The Sun Valley field is 650 ft
long with plenty of smooth overrun on both ends; perfect
for jets. There was a large and varied assortment of
nice scale aircraft ranging from WW1 to current day jet
fighters. Contest Director, Tony Quist, kept a full
flight line running smoothly with at least 4 planes in
the air all weekend.
If your looking for great winter flying and weather to
match check out these events. You won’t be disappointed!
