I have heard from a friend who flys there that Roy is having difficulty
in renewing his insurance coverage (at least at a reasonable rate). I
understand operations have been temporarily shut down.

I hope this is a very temporary thing. Roy and the Turf organization
have been in business for 38 years and have trained many pilots for
various ratings (including yours truly). I always look forward to
flying at Turf when in the Phoenix area, and wish them the best of
luck.

I've heard some things via the 'grapevine', but their
website doesn't
indicate anything. What did your cursory check of cyberspace
show that
was 'possible bad news'?

Check forum entries...granted this is second hand as
well.

Contestants for the Region 9 regional have been given notice that Turf
has closed, possibly temporarily, due to lack of affordable insurance
renewal. Negotiations continue for insurance as well as possible sale
of airport and FBO.
