C-45 Back from Prop Shop in Mesa Az

Yesterday Josh flew Vital (737 Co Pilot from Brazil) and Patrick, Janet and I to Falcon Field, Mesa Az to pick up the C-45. Air Response had finished installed the newly AD'd (and painted) props and we were looking forward to flying the C-45 again. After a 2 hour flight in the Plus One Piper Apache, Josh and Bret (his IP) dropped us off at Air Response. After an engine run up, we departed Mesa, and headed up to Sedona Az to have lunch and check out the red rocks! Then we headed off to the Grand Canyon, which was covered (on the North Rim) with snow. The canyon always looks immense! After the overfligtht we flew back to San Diego, and took an aerial tour of the WWII General Patton Training Camps, ending up at Chiriaco Summit (then called Camp Young) and then back into San Diego Gillespie Field. We washed the dirt off the C-45 so we are all set for the March ARB Airshow this weekend.
