We will travel west near Four Corners then across Monument Valley and the Grand Canyon and into Sedona for our final night before flying home on Day 5.

Experience landings at the famous Leadville, North  America’s highest airport (9927 ‘) and Furnace Creek (-210’) below sea level in California’s Death Valley.

We put 1 CFI and 2 pilots / students in each plane so it is open to pilots at all levels.
