Default Scottish visitor to Arizona and Ohio - want to fly!!!

snip what else could you want /snip

The management there is not receptive to regular fliers. Their revenue
is generated mostly from student instruction and rides, so if you put
your glider together and push it to the line, don't be surprised if the
2-33 that just landed gets pushed in front of you again while you're
sitting there baking in your cockpit.

One other thing -- don't take your leads on what is allowable from
watching the staff; non-staff pilots must follow a separate set of
field rules. Which should not be a problem if you don't race or
practice contest finishes ...
