The view: Taking off from Runway 3 in Scottsdale, AZ.
The pilot: Braxton Norwood
The photographer: S. Heischmann
The airplane: Cessna 172 – N561SA
The mission: A morning flight with touch-and-goes in Winslow and Flagstaff, then lunch in Sedona.
The memory: I was working toward my PPL; it was Heischmann’s first flight in a 172. Beautiful February weather in Arizona, as usual. It’s no surprise that this state turns out more pilots annually than anywhere else in the US.
