Have you been to Bullhead City? Walking distance to the casinos, and very
interesting arrival with all the
casinos and river scene.

No, haven't been to Bullhead City or Laughlin yet ... on my list of places
to try in the near future though, thanks.


Well, then I have an update for you. You're no longer within walking
distance to the Casinos when flying into Bullhead. They moved the GA
ramp up next to the commercial terminal. Now you have to call a hotel
shuttle and have them pick you up.

I'm kind of bummed that they did this. It used to be that you could
park at the GA ramp, walk across the street and catch the ferry boat to
cross the river to the casinos. No muss, no fuss, no waiting around.
I guess that was way to convenient to last.

Hey John!

Yeah, I'd read/heard about this...too bad really.

And probably seen as some kind of "security threat" since it meant people
could just hop a ferry from the casinos to the airport too.

Meanwhile, the Hell's Angels are in town and...well...they aren't anything
to really worry about...if you also happen to be carrying a firearm.

I did have a good flight to Havasu today though. Awesome scenery west of
Prescott and the approach to the airport from the east is neat!

Hmmm, sorry to hear about that. The last time I was there, you taxied down the ramp on the west side,
and then could just walk across or take the free ferry.

Glad to hear it. I made a safety pilot trip up to Prescott tonight with a friend. Great day to be flying in AZ.
