Day 4 Saturday 2nd February 2008

Up early again, blue skies and the usual breakfast at Denny's sets you up for the day, today we would spend some time at Sky Harbour before doing another tour of some of the local fields. Our tour compadriate who was stuck at home with a poorly foot was keeping us informed by text of movements that were due around the area, the wonders of the net. We arrived at Sky Harbour at 0810am just in time to see the Hawaiian 767 leave, a quick tour of the biz area we left for a quick tour of a few local fields before returning here at 1145am (this is the log for the full day here) on our return we used the top of car park 3, far better for photo's than car park 4. We stayed until 1500pm, headed to the Chandler area to do a few fields before heading back to our hotel.
