Arizona Soaring, located at the foot of the Estrella Mountains, offers the most reliable year-round soaring conditions. Due to the abundance of sunny days and warm temperatures throughout the year, thermals in the Phoenix area are very plentiful. Although other sites around the country can have good soaring conditions, no site comes close to matching the predictability and consistency of soaring conditions found at our site. When choosing dates to soar weeks or even months in advance, it’s a relief to know that your chances are significantly higher when choosing Arizona Soaring. Other sites, including Arizona sites with comparable thermal activity, miss out on the ridge and wave flying during the “off-season” due to the Estrella Mountains.

The City of Maricopa could learn where Phoenix, Mesa and Scottsdale have Failed
A report just released by Transportation For American, a coalition of hundreds of organizations, mayors and groups interested in reforming the American transportation process, indicates that Phoenix, Mesa and Scottsdale is the 8th “Most Dangerous Large Metro Area” in the United States.
A general look around the City of Maricopa gives indications that this community could fall into the same trap as our neighbors to the north.
Various pedestrian crossing on Highway 347 through the City of Maricopa often see pedestrians scrambling to cross the highway safely.
The coalition recommends:
- Retaining dedicated federal funding for the safety of people on foot or on bicycle.
- Adopt a national complete streets policy.

NASA: The Complete Illustrated History available from Amazon.com
Maricopa still has many areas where the street lights don’t affect viewing of the night sky. It’s always fun sighting various satellites and the morning or evening setting sun reflects on them back to earth.
The International Space Station is especially bright at certain times.
