---------------
There wasn't much worth sticking around for here, just the IFL Convair (which seems to be a regular).
 
 
AZA (8/22/2012)
---------------
A quick drive around Mesa's main airport revealed, since my last visit a few months ago, a few changes.  There's a lot of construction including an expanded terminal and a few hangars going up.  The Mesa Airlines training facility (and mystery all-white CRJ used for cabin training) are gone.  Also, I didn't see any of the firefighting aircraft that I was hoping to see based here.  Still, this is an airport worthy of a visit once in a while - a full log follows.
