Hot to Cooler GFI - Fri 7/2/10 - KPHX-KDEN

[Harold Henderson]

WHat a treat to be joined by our OZ member, Barry Theodore (AAV699) on this flight. Also there were me AAV580, Sergio "stranger" Sanchez (AAV742), Wayne Pierce (AAV783), Damien Seals (AAV965), and Jim Parrish (AAV1050).

Since there was no ATC at PHX, we were all set for parallel simultaneous takeoffs on 26 and 26, but then ATC came online and nixed the simultaneous part.

Wayne was first off. He kept saying he was flying a 707 but it looks suspiciously like a 738.
